Possibly Hanging with Mr Cooper?
^ I'm having trouble finding what episode it could be
damn, sounds like a nice place to live
Brother's Keeper
^ I'm having diffculty finding anything that has a similar description with that name, any help?
It was a short-lived TGIF show from 1998. It's about a college professor whose football star brother is forced to live with him. For some reason I remember it having a predominantly African-American cast? But looking into it it's just a bunch of white guys? Man do I misremember that show. nvm.
No the sports thing was for one episode as far as I could tell
I think that was a Key & Peele sketch, or maybe a Chapelle Show one?
i can't find any obvious candidates, I'm pretty sure it was part of a sitcom rather then a sketch
I 100% remember this! It was an episode of the Cosby show. Griffin (Doug E Doug) is the teacher who has the dream. And yes, there is a scene where he is teaching his students about invertebrates and pretends to eat a snail (not really, just pretends) to gross them out.

Perfect! thankyou very much
Saw an episode of what looked like an American series about the late 90s/2000s
- I think most of the cast were black
- There was this news report about an athlete getting a huge salary and some lady says that teachers should be paid that sort of money
- This teacher has a nap and dreams about a world where teachers are treated like sports stars - complete with NFL style commentators for their classes and slow motion replay when they draw on the screen
- He was teaching something like snails or something and he fakes eating it then the there was a replay showing how he palmed it
- He was considering getting a new contract for a whole heap more money this little girl tries to give her meagre savings to get him to stay
