Teachers

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.

To everyone getting bent out shape about jokes on this show - "Lighten up, Francis!". It is a comedy TV show, not a documentary. Wife and I have both taught elementary and middle school and find the show funny. Think Always Sunny in Philly + scrubs in a school setting. It is edgy and clever without taking itself too seriously. Characters are exaggerations of flawed people but still manage to be likable and relatable. Gets funnier the longer you watch so don't give up if not blown away by the pilot.

I guess I have a juvenile, black sense of humor because I think this show is hilarious. I have been both a high school and middle school teacher and currently am a middle school counselor. There are some spot on moments to this show. There is some exaggeration, but anyone's day to day work life in schools would be boring without editing out the meetings, paperwork, etc. I guess I have just had the fabulous luck of working with funny, sometimes inappropriate (never in front of kids) people. I feel bad for the people who work with the boring teachers who wrote these reviews.

This show is B.R.I.L.J.A.N.T.! Coming from a Dutch a teacher with a sense of humor ;-) To the other teachting critics : it is comedy: not a documentary. Everything is so exaggerated over the top and (politically) incorrect. I LOVE IT! I recognise every stereoype teacher in my team. Love the perfect cast, wonderful script and the music is so wel done. I love it. Not for the faint of heart . I love it .

As a teacher I did find this hilarious. Everyone has probably encountered a real staff member similar to each teacher (not the extremes, but they're there). It's a raunchy comedy for sure, so obviously not ok for kids. Are they role model teachers? Absolutely not, but it is funny and the teacher's lounge conversations crack me up.
