Must See Movie...

Am I Missing Something?

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I love dry humor and this is tops. Plus Sarah Alexander!!!!! British women are so lovely. In my opinion the shows draws on the relationship between students and teachers from the students point of what they think the teachers do. In either case the show is funny and the cast is perfect. Though we all recognize BUD!!! Kenny from the Cosby show. He has not outgrown his look. They include all of the typical, Hot teacher, Pretty teacher, and the rest. It is very hard to fill 10 lines on text. I like Sarah Alexander most. From there it goes to the brunette and then to the main character and then to the Principal chick.

Having seen the original British version of teachers i was expecting simple re-write to give it an American touch. However, I was, at first, appalled to see that that teachers had become a poorly written canned laughter show in comparison to its British forefather ...... then i watched the second episode and then then the third and i was hooked. It may not be the show i was expecting it to be but it has become its own show. The one-liners may not be perfect but they made me laugh, the continuity provided a good background to all of the jokes and frankly it was often immature and thats what we love the best about comedy shows. hopefully we will see a second season of teachers as there is much more that can be done.Overall Grade: B- A good Start but some serious improvement needed next term

Teachers Drinking, trying to have sex, being disinterested in their job sometimes? How refreshingly true.My wife is a teacher, and we both absolutely love to watch this show. It goes to extremes for comic elements, but there are times where teachers just need a drink after dealing with the kids, and times where teaching is just not the first thing on your mind. There are a lot of one liners that can be distracting, but the character play between the cast is superb. (I still am waiting for Justin Bartha's Character to have a daydream with the 2 hot teachers with Van Halen playing in the background.) This is one of the 3 shows on our weekly tivo list that we can actually watch together and agree on (How I Met Your Mother and Smallville being the others.

The previous reviewer may or may not have had a bad day, but that didn't matter. They were right in saying how terrible this show is. It is completely unoriginal and corny - but not the kind of corny that you laugh at. It's sad. The characters have terrible lines and the canned laughter is a bit much. On the other hand, the canned laughter seems to know when things really aren't that funny--because the laughter is weak. The only reason I saw the pilot was because they happened to show it on a Thursday night during "The Office" time slot. I set a timer to record the office, and instead I find this poor excuse for a show. I don't see this show getting better. I watched the second episode just to see if things would be better. Of course, I was even more disappointed. I would have to say that this is the worst comedy I have ever seen--if you can call it a comedy. I don't care if it cancels or not. I just hope that they never postpone "The Office" to show "Teachers" in it's place again.
