it's not bad actually. yes, as i've said, basically Dennis in a school, but it has been using some heart moments and he seems to be growing, a little. really do enjoy...

There's just not much that's funny.

The chick who plays Sarika is really hot in real life.
I'm really enjoying it. I disagree with you about the cast I think they're all pretty solid and they did a good job in the final episode of setting up how the show can continue with different plotlines going forward.

My family really digs this show.. one of the few comedies we've gotten in to the last few years. Howerton is great, IMO... that said, I thought the last episode was a good wrap-up and thought for sure this show was being canceled.

My favorite part of the show is the supporting characters, specifically the kids and the other teachers. Feels like Patton Oswalt is not being used to the best of his abilities here, he's the only regular that I don't really find that funny.

After losing out on a chance to get out of Toledo and into his dream job at a prestigious university in Season 1, disgraced Harvard philosophy professor Jack Griffin (Glenn Howerton) remains determined to get out of town and regain prominence in the academic world. To do this, Jack decides to begin work on a book detailing a new philosophical thesis. This thesis will require him to immerse himself in Toledo more than ever before while continuing to enlist the help of his students and friends at Whitlock - including Principal Durbin (Patton Oswalt). Jack will also find himself intellectually challenged and charmed by a woman he meets in the last place he'd expect: the payroll department of Whitlock High.

Watch the A.P. Bio season premiere, Thursday, March 7 at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

I just started watching IASIP... so I'm looking more forward to the 2nd season of AP Bio... that said, Dennis looks old now .

I'm used to seeing him during his S3 "sexy" years lol.

I had no idea this show took place in Toledo Ohio. Now I have to watch! It's the most publicity we've gotten since M.A.S.H.!!

If you could be so kind as to post that in the Star Wars: The Last Jedi thread, that would be great... Thanks!

Damn, that premiere was awful. I watched about 15 minutes and couldn’t stand it. And this is after thinking that season 1 was ok and I was looking forward to season 2.

Dropped it. First time I dropped a returning show on a season premiere.

That's weird it felt exactly the same as season 1. I thought it was a great episode.

To catch everyone up, this show was Canned.

And resurrected via NBC's streaming service. I guess the ratings were low but the viewers were rich.

The new season is pretty good, The "previously on" episode was a little much but the Katie Holmes Day episode made up for it.

I really enjoyed the 3rd season on Peacock and felt it went by too fast as I am a big fan of the cast (especially the actors/actresses who play the students, they are so awesome on this show).

Holy shit!!! Looked fucking awesome and fucking Bruce Campbell!!!! The main reason I’m paying $10 for Peacock. I’m rewatching first and second seasons. Forgot so much, and I’m fucking loving it. Missed S3, and now S4 soon. Fucking great, underrated show. Really is Dennis from Sunny as a “teacher”. The cast, the kids, the woman trio are all great. Patton Oswalt, always great. I just always loved this show from day 1 and so glad and really hard to believe they are still giving it life with the fickle community Hollywood is and especially with a tv show that, at least from my point of view, has very little to no fanfare.

Seriously. With binging, first run, I’m sure steaming making a killing, rather than have this on Broadcast, which it already was.

re: A.P. Bio (NBC / Peacock) -- S: Glenn Howerton, Patton Oswalt

I am already 4 episodes into the new season and I am really enjoying the show. I still feel that this show has one of the best cast of kids playing students out there, and if some of the kids had been re-cast or written out of the show it would have hurt the quality of the show. It is definitely worth watching and I believe that this is the last we will see of this show but at least it is so much fun to watch in the first place.
