    Some may have laughed. I felt like I'd been conned.

    Predictable plot, boorish jokes and lame premise. The trinity of a poor show.

    Enjoy it now, if you must, because it won't be around next year.

    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. 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 wasOne 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".

    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.

    This series should have been entitled "Bad Show," and the pilot portends no improvement. I didn't note a single redeeming feature. The premise and the script are abysmally juvenile, the cast unremarkable. I see no season 2 in its future.

    To be frank, Bad Judge is just terrible. Less comedy and more stupido.
    Remember how terrible Bad Teacher on CBS was last spring? Bad Judge on NBC is even worse.
    Poor Kate Walsh. This show will be canceled.

    Perhaps “Mediocre Teacher” would be a better title for this so-so comedy about trophy wife Meredith Davis (Ari Graynor), who suddenly finds herself replaced by a shinier trophy.

    Bad Teacher is like a comedy club on a Sunday morning. No fun.

    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.
