    " the show ( bad teacher ) is sexy and so as hilary winston ". from producer Cameron Diaz and creator and star hilary winston made a show about a greetty gold digger who gets a job as a teacher just to find men . the show has bad topics . Making a show that has nothing to do with Diaz's classic { bad teacher } . all its about is a greetty woman looking for men . Grade D

    I only recorded this because I already watch Two and a Half Men and Elementary, and was pleasantly surprised with the premiere starring relative newcomer Caitlin Kimball. Could very be because I had really low expectations, but I thought it was good for a few yucks.

    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

    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.
