Critic Reviews

Barry Garron

It has potential. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

For all the predictable one-liners, pratfalls and canned laughter clotting the pilot, there are some funny riffs down the line. Read full review

Paul Brownfield

Nothing about the pilot of "Teachers" is particularly eye- or ear-opening. Read full review

Brian Lowry

The U.S. version of "Teachers" has lost much of its grit and feels thuddingly conventional. Read full review

Rob Owen

Seriously lacking in laughs. Read full review

Doug Elfman

"Teachers" is never not lame. Read full review

Sid Smith

Easily the lamest new sitcom all season... [it] manages an entire half-hour without a single viable joke. Read full review

I saw the previews and it seemed pretty funny, so I tivo'd it. I felt the first show I saw was a little lackluster, however the episode with Justin and his nemisis was hilarious. I really truly like almost all of the characters, especially Jeff played by the handsome Justin Bartha. I I saw the previews and it seemed pretty funny, so I tivo'd it.

I hope the networks give it a chance to find it's audience and refine the scripts and characters, and I think this could be a real hit!!!… Expand

i gave this a great review already- i am giving another one. People give this show a negative? Look deep - the acting is amazing. Imagine having to act these characters? Phenomenal!

its funny, there is dry humor, I chuckled quite a few times, not believable (well come on people), since when was a sitcom supposed to be believable, (i saw many readers who were teachers that were offended), please, lighten up. the actors were great!

I think that the script came across as trying too hard. The producers would do much better focusing more on Phil Hendrie's character...and give the entire show more bite rather than predictable, canned jokes.

I watched it for a few weeks, and found the black-haired woman to be interesting and the least cartoonish actor. Unfortunately, during the episode with the computer golf tournament, they made her act as if she cared about the results, which destroyed any illusions I had that there was at I watched it for a few weeks, and found the black-haired woman to be interesting and the least cartoonish actor. Unfortunately, during the episode with the computer golf tournament, they made her act as if she cared about the results, which destroyed any illusions I had that there was at least one decent character. Teachers aren't funny, folks; they work hard for little pay, and have to deal with spoiled kids with cell phones and weapons, not to mention the handicapped and language barriers. The truly, if not ironically, funny thing is that if the producers and directors went for more drama and less comedy, this might have become a good show.… Expand

Like virtually all shows on television about characters to whom the writers can't possible relate but think they can, this show just flat blows. Having GONE to school does not qualify one to write convincingly about teaching it any more than having undergone surgery allows one to be a Like virtually all shows on television about characters to whom the writers can't possible relate but think they can, this show just flat blows.
