Schooled at its goofiest recognizes the value of teachers.
-
Rough edges are quickly sanded, and yet the players are good.
-
As it stands, Schooled doesn’t offer any convincing reasons to watch other than the crossovers from an already familiar world, and the requisite ‘90s references are too lightweight to be a true vehicle for nostalgia.
-
There’s possibly some potential here. But the only episode of Schooled made available for review neither rings the bell--or answers it.
-
Schooled contains none of the mother ship’s bellows and whistles, thus laying bare its own conventionality.
-
[The Goldbergs is] a good show because beneath that very superficial hook it's deeply personal. Schooled, at least thus far, is not, and it's that lack of center that still needs tinkering.
-
The pilot lacks the snap and vigorous, unruly wit of ABC’s most successful recent sitcoms, from “Black-ish” to “Speechless,” saddling more than one actor with painfully earnest dialogue about what it means to be a teacher and Michalka with a less-than-credible arc. Her story, indeed, resolves so tidily by pilot’s end as to raise the question of where the rest of the show can still go.
