Teachers S1-2
Comedy series Teachers is what 2013 comedy show Bad Teacher tried to be and failed dismally. Education has never been in worse hands and that’s why it’s great!
The group of educators at an elementary school have their own cliques. They have students they love. They have students they like. And then there are the annoying mini-humans they just can’t stand. That indifference to whether the kids do or don’t learn is only rivalled to how badly they treat each other, whether it’s to their faces or behind their backs.
How bad are these “adults”? Pooping in a rival teacher’s desk drawer is shockingly hilariously bad, but telling the colleague with a unibrow that “your face looks like a 70s vagina with eyes” might just be the greatest burn uttered outside of a Comedy Central Roast session.
This isn’t for kids. It’s a proper adult comedy created by the improv troupe The Katydids (whose names are Caitlin, Katy, Cate, Kate, Katie and Kathryn. Seriously.). Hollywoodreporter.com writer Tim Goodman says: “It’s a crazy cluttered TV landscape out there, but Teachers is a keeper with considerable comic potential.”
