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.

I'm a teacher and I think this is funny. There are so many things that they say that I'm sure many teachers actually feel. The "politics" behind public education are shameful, and these ladies highlight some of those ideas. Is it the most realistic show- not by a mile- but that's why it's funny. It makes me think of Kids in the Hall or Baroness von Sketch Show.

It's hilarious and has amazing characters. Wasn't too sure of a mostly women cast but they know what their doing. I hope they keep making more.

I gotta say the pilot was a doozie. I can see why so many parents, teachers, and other viewers were turned off from the pilot. The teachers really weren't likable enough to warrant another episode viewing.

Did the pilot lightly poke fun of teachers, students, and parents? No,the teachers and kids were spewing very pointed, specific dialogue that jabbed and stabbed. The dialogue alone was a sign that this was no haphazardly put-together pilot but unfortunately the comedy was kind of neglected.The rather cruel and dramatic tone obscured smart observations like how the cell phone culture is killing the good Samaritan in people. The plotting was predictable and the hot for dad teacher is a cringe-worthy character. A Freudian slippin', tongue-tied, snorting teacher is cheap comedy. Revenge of the Nerds wants their horrible cred back!

As much as I couldn't stand the pilot, I truly loved episode 9 (except for Ms. Bennigan. That woman grows on you like moss.) The acting was great as always, there were many double entendres and puns, and also plenty of unpredictable moments involving the likes of a granola bar, a mild case of stranger danger and the rather unlikeable Ms.Snap. The pop-culture obsessed, vapid teacher had a moment of teaching waywardness that was truly hilarious. The cluelessness wasn't cruel and the child actor was awesome. The Miracle Worker couldn't have been lampooned any better.

Episode 9 is what I initially hoped for in the series. Basically MOST of the comedy cruelty was exacted on the teachers themselves and not towards each other or the students. These teachers, however horrible they may be as educators, had heart in this episode and I hope the next episode shows it, too.

There were moments where I was mortified watching this show but while the show is morbid & a bit nuts, if you've ever spent time around teachers you'd also know the show is pretty accurate.

Before I was married I worked as a teacher's aid (while getting my teaching degree, before I decided to take another reoute) & about 70% of my friends are still teachers.

I've heard & seen way worst things than anything seen on this show. While I did cringe often, I also laughed as I recognized many of the characters in real life teachers.

I know no one really wants to admit to this sort of debauchery around children & moms every where would rather believe this stuff doesn't happen but boy I could share some true stories about why I decided not to teach & non of them had anything to do with kids.

Ask your kids lots of questions about school, you'd be surprised...
