At times, A.P. Bio struggles to build a bridge between what’s happening in Jack’s classroom and the rest of Whitlock, but the performances in the B-plots are so uniformly strong, they practically justify these digressions all on their own.
-
For now the NBC sitcom is earnestly uncaring and delightfully unscrupulous. Jack is a legitimately bad teacher, but Howerton makes him a great source of chaotic comedy.
-
From the casting to the writing, the show has class, leaving you with the hope that Jack will be destined to a long stay in Toledo.
-
The humor is biting, which you would expect from Meyers, Michaels and Howerton, whose been at his biting best for 12 seasons on “Always Sunny.” And while Howerton is the star, it’s really the supporting players, especially the nerdy kids, who make this one kind of fun.
-
A.P. Bio is at times too straight-forward, lacking both School of Rock's freshness and the strangeness that made O'Brien's SNL shorts such standouts. [2/9 Feb 2018, p.95]
-
There’s a good chance A.P. Bio will become part of that [NBC sitcom lineup] upgrade, if it can dig even deeper into the secondary characters and their strange quirks at the same time as it features Howerton. The more the ensemble clicks, the better.
-
A.P. Bio works best when focused on Jack and his students.
-
Howerton makes the most of his central ribald rogue role while Oswalt seemingly was built to be a bumbler. Neither character is believably employed--if that really matters. Beyond that, A.P. Bio suffices as a teacher-student comedy.
