hazysistersunshine33 If you've seen the movie, then you know the basic premise of the TV show. This time it's Ari Gayner plays the divorcée who has to lower herself to getting an actual job as a teacher because her husband left her for a younger woman. She's a real sex pot and a foul mouth. She's also pretty shallow, but she seems to learn a lesson and show a little ethics and the kids all seem to like her. It's all going to work out in the end with some lesson on the way. The humor is pretty good, but I think it could be edgier. It would be better on a pay station where they could really get raunchy with it. I've only seen the pilot, but I will get around to watching the second someday.
jazebelle Oh wow. I'm still dumbfounded after the first episode of Bad Teacher. This series is very bad. My face was twisted in disgust throughout the first 10 minutes of the show. I can't believe it actually got aired, even though it's been canceled now. Off all the shows that have not been renewed for a second season, canceling Bad Teacher was the best decision ever made. Poor story line, horrible writing, extremely immature acting skills and zero chemistry from all the characters. Actresses like Sara Gilbert and Kristin Davies deserved to be seen in much better roles instead of wasting their talent on such mediocre screen time. What's worse is, in this day and age, where we have good quality sitcoms such as Brooklyn Nine-nine, Moms and a few more that recently debuted, Bad Teacher is horribly miss placed and should have been trashed on its first script itself. It's very trashy and impossible to sit through. The only attention it will gain is a pile of bad reviews from baffled audiences
JoJoWatcher They took a movie I thought was OK (6/10) and turned it into a bad series. The jokes were not good, and it is easy to see that this theme of the sexy bad girl teacher will run its course well before this first season is over. I keep a pretty open mind when it comes to new shows, because you never know when you might be catching the first episode of a hit. I watched the entire episode and don't remember getting so much as a giggle or smirk. I am willing to give the show another episode, but unless there are different/better writers who worked on episode two I am just expecting more of the same. Hopefully they can prove me wrong. I really do not think that they will air the entire first season, and if they do it will be a miracle if they get a 2nd season. I find it hard to believe that no other ideas CBS had were better than this.
plex I saw the movie with Carmen Diaz and sort of liked it for what it was, a dark fluff film. But IMO, that should have been the beginning and end of it. Ripped directly from the feature film, the TV version is far more annoying, and the main premise of the show had already played itself out by this first episode. It sort of reminds me of what Peg Bundy ( from Married with Children), as THAT character, would have been if she were allowed to become a grade-school teacher. But MWC worked because it WAS so ridiculous, a sort of updated version of All In the Family, set to a Bugs-Bunny cartoon. Bad Teacher fails because it tries to sell us on its credibility, which is a BAD move on their part. Aside from that, the other main problem I see for this show is the casting of the central character Ari Graynor as the bad teacher. She's bad alright, bad at acting, and not likable at all. Her character is supposed to be someone who is hot enough to attract interest from all the men she meets and mingle within the show. I simply don't see that she's that person. I hope the network yanks this one, PRONTO!
