alloe I absolutely love this show. I like the relationships between the character's. When your in school you never think about what your teacher's lives are really like and i'm not dumb I know our teacher's lives aren't like that but it makes you think.I like to see the dedication of the teacher's to the student's and it's from the creature of Scrubs so it could never be actually as bad as the others said. I really like the relationship between the male teachers. I also like that there are little clicks between the teachers just like the kids in school. The teachers pretend that they are sort of destroying their students and maybe one of them is. The teachers all have their own lives and it's fun to see that because you never think of your teachers of having a life besides teaching at school. I think it is totally worth a watch and maybe you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

bmccamic Teachers Drinking, trying to have sex, being disinterested in their job sometimes? How refreshingly true.My wife is a teacher, and we both absolutely love to watch this show. It goes to extremes for comic elements, but there are times where teachers just need a drink after dealing with the kids, and times where teaching is just not the first thing on your mind. There are a lot of one liners that can be distracting, but the character play between the cast is superb. (I still am waiting for Justin Bartha's Character to have a daydream with the 2 hot teachers with Van Halen playing in the background.) This is one of the 3 shows on our weekly tivo list that we can actually watch together and agree on (How I Met Your Mother and Smallville being the others.

msiceman182 These writers are trying to re-create the characters they have on "scrubs" in a different occupation however the characters they are stuck with have no charisma or acting ability not to mention the writing seems poor and effortless. These guys are trying to create something that would be good if the writing wasn't so disgusting which is leaving the shows only lifeline to be two attractive teachers that that are barely keeping it alive. The humor in this show seems like it is trying to target an audience with an I.Q. of 40 or below. Another reason why this show is becoming a failure could be that the writing on the show "scrubs" is excellent and this show has to follow it up leaving the viewer in an odd position not knowing whether to cry or to just lose hope in new sitcoms all together. This is just my opinion but i think these guys should stop now before they humiliate themselves anymore than they have already.

Christopher jones Sounds like the previous reviewer was having a bad night when watching this show's pilot. There's plenty of room for improvement for Teachers, but keep in mind that Cheers faced the same kind of harsh criticism and was almost canceled in its first season. Am I implying that Teachers has the same potential as Cheers? Not necessarily, but I do think it's a diamond in the rough. The main asset on Teachers' side is its host of distinctive characters. The writing is a bit uneven, but occasionally produces biting gems like an attractive female teacher's observation about three leering male co-workers, comparing them to a 'recruitment poster for Lesbians.' Put-down humor may not be genteel, but it scores laughs, and has ever since Sophia's zingers in Golden Girls. The main character seems to be Jeff Cahill(Justin Bartha), a sarcastic, bad-boy English teacher who's hot for Alice Fletcher(Sarah Alexander), a tart-tongued, ex-Brit fellow teacher who would respond well to Jeff's advances if only he'd be more mature. I share her disdain for his attitude and fountain of quips. Enough is enough. Also, the show's wardrobe staff take note: Jeff's jeans are way too tight and the low-riding pair worn in the pilot looked rather, well, feminine. If the writers use other characters more liberally (the slutty substitute, the burned out bald guy, and the uptight African American buddy), good things may happen. And how about involving students more? Will they maximize Teachers' potential, or will we consistently mark its card 'Capable of Doing Better?' We'll see.
