Schooled

It's 1990 something in this spin-off of The Goldbergs. Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) returns to William Penn Academy after failing to make it in the music world. Principal Glascott (Tim Meadows) gives her a job as the music teacher with a push from Beverly Goldberg. Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) is still the PE teacher. C.B. is the cute try-hard teacher.

This is a solid single gal sitcom or at least it should be. There is a central issue with the single part, Lainey's relationship with Barry Goldberg. It complicates the show and the show's central relationship of Lainey with C.B. It muddies the waters in that Goldbergs fans love the Barry-Lainey coupling. It's a beauty and the beast story, and we would hope for them to live happily ever after. In the two shows, they do have their ups and downs. Outside of that, the show has most of the ingredients. Coach Mellor continues to be a great side character and mentor. Tim Meadows is a comedy veteran and I like Michalka as the lead. She has great comedic instincts and timing. She does need a best girlfriend on the show. Wilma does join the show in the second season and she eventually gets there but it's a long trip to get there. I do wonder if a Barry-Lainey show could have worked.

ABC not renew this, but they did other shows that worse. IABC like other networks do not care what people want. Its all about color of skin and not what people want. It was a good program! and should be on!

Okay so i haven't watched the goldburgs in awhile but i used to love them then i saw the preivews for this show and thought i'd try it the show is funny no doubt but judging by the first episode its nothing like the goldburgs humor is this a problem??it could run into a problem but as of now laniey has enough spunk and humor to hold her own so its no goldburgs or even single parents 'a hilarious new comedy' but its very well worth it

Loves this show!!! Always enjoyed watching after the Goldbergs!! Sucks that it was cancelled!! With all of the garbage on tv there will be a void!!!

Schooled is the New Coke to the Goldbergs' Coke Classic. Plus, it's a little flat.
