Lucas Tanner was an NBC television drama that aired during the 1974-75 season. The title character, played by David Hartman, was a former baseball player and sportswriter who became a teacher at the fictional Harry S. Truman High School in Webster Groves, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. Shows often dealt with the resistance of traditional teachers to Tanner's unorthodox teaching style.
Regular co-stars included Rosemary Murphy, Kimberly Beck, and ten-year-old Robbie Rist.
This series was David Hartman's last television series as an actor -- in November 1975, he began a long-running stint as co-host of ABC's Good Morning America.
