The trials and misadventures of a US citizenship teacher and his class of recent immigrants.

26 episodes of this syndicated show were produced in 1986 and 1987, debuting in September 1986. Taylor Brown teaches a night-school course to recent immigrants trying to pass the citizenship test. The class consists of Nikolai, a Russian taxi driver; Laslo, a retired Hungarian doctor; Ali, a Pakistani; Robert, the son of a deposed African king; Maria, a housekeeper working for a rich Beverly Hills family; Victor, a Hispanic in love with Maria; and Yung Hi, a shy Chinese woman.
