Sounds about right. I didn't even crack a smile at any of the clips on NBC's website. It's a shame too cuz there's some legit talent among the cast. Kali Rocha was great in Meet the Parents and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sarah Alexander was in the BBC Coupling, nuff said. And Phil Hendrie's radio show is classic.

Phodg

I'll probably watch it just to look at Sarah Alexander for half an hour.

Matthew Chmiel

How can one make a sitcom with Phil Hendrie and Sarah Alexander sucking?

Oh, it's multi-camera and on NBC. Nevermind...

Being a teacher, I'll watch the first ep.

I can't believe that 'buuuuuddd' from The Cosby Show is old enough to be on this show.

kevin75

with sarah alexendar being on it, i wonder if it is truly the end of coupling?

Silt

I'm only watching it because of Sarah Shahi. Though seeing her on Teachers won't be near as good as the views you get of her on The L Word.

Doughboy

I'm pretty sure Coupling is over. The last season was 2 years ago and it wasn't a very good one at that.

raven56706

damn... the british show is freaking hilarious....

SexualPudding

I concur. Sarah Shahi is groin grabbingly sexy.

Patman

Too bad it's not Gina Bellman (Jane) from Coupling that's on this new show. I preferred her over "Susan" from Coupling.

Matthew Chmiel

Moffat has come out himself and said the show was over and done with after (the lackluster) season four.

When I first heard of this show I thought it was a remake of the british show and was excited to see it. Turns out it aint. For any who haven't seen it, the UK show is great. It has that quiet desperation thing The Office has, only not that extreme. I had to import the boxset of the first 3 seasons as I couldn't be held back by BBC-America's wonky schedule.

Snowmaker

Is that the token black guy from Not Another Teen Movie?

Brain Stew

This teacher guy is acting almost exactly like Hawkeye Pierce.

OldBoy

they have a beer in a classroom. so far this is the worst show ever! shutting off in 3...2...

OldBoy

and then a 1 day substitute becomes a full time teacher? this show is a joke and won't last past 4 eps.

Red Dog

I just can't get by the black teacher not saying "damn," "shit," and "that is whack!"

This show is not funny, but it does feature 2 of the hottest chicks on television, so I can't not watch it. There's nothing on I watch at this time anyway (at least until C-in-C comes back).

Tracer Bullet

I made it to the four-minute mark before I deleted it from my TiVo.

I'm at work now, so I haven't had a chance to watch anything on TV. I set my DVR to record this show, but after some of these harsh comments and reviews, maybe I'll skip wasting 22 minutes of my life.

silentbob007

At least the canned laugh track told me when it was supposed to be funny ....

shaggy

Phil Hendrie is probably the funniest man on earth, unfortunatly it doesn't look like this show will be very good. From what I have read the first episode is the worst, so there is some hope.

Deftones

Damn. I hadn't heard that news about Coupling.

Dr_Evil

I didn't think it was great, but it wasn't horrible either. I'll give it another week and hope that it was just a so-so pilot.
