Teachers

To everyone getting bent out shape about jokes on this show - "Lighten up, Francis!". It is a comedy TV show, not a documentary. Wife and I have both taught elementary and middle school and find the show funny. Think Always Sunny in Philly + scrubs in a school setting. It is edgy and clever without taking itself too seriously. Characters are exaggerations of flawed people but still manage to be likable and relatable. Gets funnier the longer you watch so don't give up if not blown away by the pilot.

This show is B.R.I.L.J.A.N.T.! Coming from a Dutch a teacher with a sense of humor ;-) To the other teachting critics : it is comedy: not a documentary. Everything is so exaggerated over the top and (politically) incorrect. I LOVE IT! I recognise every stereoype teacher in my team. Love the perfect cast, wonderful script and the music is so wel done. I love it. Not for the faint of heart . I love it .

It is a sketch comedy about Teachers dealing with real life. It is funny, edgy and has some pretty sly humor. It is not meant to be a vehicle about teaching kids, it is a takeoff. Some folks need to grow up a bit, and use some common sense. The ladies do an excellent job, and what I see here in Oak Park is very well represented in a satirical sense.

I think this show is one of the ones that people either love or hate. I definitely love it! I catch myself laughing out loud all the time! It took me about 2 or 3 episodes to get hooked, but now I can't stop. People totally talk bad about the show, but I don't think they give a good chance to grow on them. But maybe it's not just sense of humor, which is totally fine too. The funniest characters are in my opinion the little blonde girl and her obsession with hot dad and her best friend. I really really hope that there is a season 2 because it's my new favorite current show on TV!

Anyways, my advice for everyone would be to give it a chance at least, because it's an easy show to dismiss, but definitely worth a spot on your DVR!

This show is literally one of the funniest shows on television. My wife is a teacher and Teachers basically crushes it with the personalities she works with. Can not recommend it more highly. It's a fantastic show. It really picks up in Season 2 and just kills it with every successive episode. Check it out.
