The team behind Bad Teacher has successfully reconfigured the raunchy comedy into a heart warming sitcom starring Ari Graynor that is still bad in all the right ways. [28 Apr 2014]

Mary McNamara

All in all, it's a pleasant, sunny and well-played ephemeral farce; Gilbert, Grier, Hansen and Davis are all good to see again, and Graynor inhabits her character with verve and increasing grace. Read full review

Meredith is a gold-digger, but when push comes to shove she chooses her students’ welfare over her ambition to become someone’s new wife. That is a pat resolution in a movie but not enough to sustain a series. Read full review

The show has its funny moments, and the cast is pretty good, especially the younger actors. Read full review

It’s not about a “bad” teacher, just a slightly irreverent one. Read full review

Rob Owen

Apr 23, 2014

Bad Teacher relies on a one-joke premise that's funny enough in the premiere but seems like it will wear poorly over time. Read full review

Matt Brennan

Apr 22, 2014

Leached of the original's tart sense of humor, the series quickly settles into lowest-common-denominator boilerplate, an unintended critique of the declining sitcom formula. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed this TV show!!!, it is so funny!, and at the end of each episode, always gives you a moral of a fable.

The main difference between this and the movie version is that the movie has actual jokes and is actually funny. This sucked royally, and was a big waste of time

Wretched acting, no plot, and not funny. Might be funny for the 9-year-old boy crowd but the juvenile humor is below even that lofty audience. Not worth the electrons needed to keep the screen lit.

One knows when a series is going to be bad when the trailers are terrible. The premise is not a bad one but it would much better if it was kept a "secret". The teacher could have been "seducing" male teachers for two reasons.

The premise is not a bad one but it would much better if it was kept a "secret". The teacher could have been "seducing" male teachers for two reasons. One to help her actually teach her classes because she was not really qualified and the other for the male connection. The principal would be funnier if he was suspicious but too incompetent to actually get proof of how "bad" she was.… Expand
