Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (1992)

Episode Overview

Nicole and Vanessa are eagerly watching "Lester the Lizard and the Crocodile Kids," a children's television program. Nicole is keen to audition for a new crocodile kid role, but Geneva forbids her from trying out. Meanwhile, Vanessa hopes to connect with Lester, who is part owner of the show, to secure an account for her company. In Driver's Ed, Mark is teaching when Earvin and André accidentally snag a piece of Lester’s tail after a near-miss with him. Mark is frustrated and asks P.J. for a safer class, leading to his unexpected role as the new Home Ec teacher, which proves to be even riskier. When Mark takes Nicole to her audition, Vanessa tags along, only to discover that Lester is actually a chain-smoking woman disliked by the show's crew. Lester seems intrigued by Mark, believing she has seen him before, but Vanessa fails to win the account.
