The problem with this past season is it got too caught up in character relationships and didn't really have very many plots that dealt with the students, especially during the second half of the season.

The many relationship plots I can think of, there are probably a few others I'm forgetting:
Hanson with his relationship with the lawyer.
Ronnie and the science teacher
Ronnie and the school board guy
McIntyre and that girls mom
The pregnant chick and her BF
The American Idol chick and her abusive bf
The smart kid and her crush on that boy who ends up dating her friend
Brooke and the basketball star
Marla and mini-me.
Gruber and whats her face (forget her name, the singing instructor)

How about losing the soap opera and getting back to the fact that this is about a school!

Actually...when the show first premiered, one of the selling points was that it would be about the teachers, not the students..

Red Dog

As long as that blonde student hottie who was always sporting the cleavage comes back, I'll be happy.

I thaught Jeri Ryan was braught in a couple of years ago for eye candy and to improve ratings..It obviously hasn't worked

Chad

I for one am glad they're gone...especially Joey Slotnick McIntyre.

Now if only they'd go back to the same formula from season one, bring back Nicky Katt, Jessalyn Gilsig and can the American Idol rejects...

Matthew Chmiel

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Once Joey Slotnick was let go from the show, the show went straight to hell. Then the show went to one of the deeper levels of hell when Nicky Katt left.

Deftones

Especially since he was having an affair with such a hot student.

Red Dog

That probably was the true jump the shark point. However, I could not stand the Harry Senate character - I was quite pleased when he left.

That's interesting (the pink slips), I wonder what new characters will be brought on to the show.

Rogue588

all the latest AI rejects..

I think they need more teachers that actually LOOK like teachers-- characters like Marla or Harvey. Those are the only two that look anything like the teachers I had in school.

All these young, attractive teachers are a little unrealistic.

Even Danny seems more like a real teacher and he is probably one of the better characters.

shanester

Why was Jessylin Gisling let go anyway??..

I think Mr Kelley is losing his marbles! He doesn't know who to fire/hire/renw anymore..

B.A.

I actually had three or four very attractive teachers when I was in high school. All were young and fresh out of college. Needless to say, they were very popular.

B.A.

I think she left of her own accord. Haven't seen her in anything since either.

Preacher

He should have had them die in some ridiculous threat. Probably the realism of the show didn't allow them to do this.
