After hearing about this new TV sitcom cartoon, I was having high hopes that it would be the most unique one to air on Fox. The series takes place in Florida with the main characters being staff members of a least convenient high school to attend. Each of the teachers, including the acting principal and custodian all have a personality of their own. During each episode they try to make their school as highly recognizable as a first rate school. However there's always something or someone messing up that goal towards the end.
Even though it only had four episodes air on TV. I think the idea for it was unique. It wasn't trying to become another knock off of the Simpsons or Family Guy. Cause it would be boring for their to be another family sitcom on TV when there's already so many of them. Despite it being different from those shows, I think the writers were trying their best to make this cartoon as non-Simpsons as possible. Without a theme song and large usage of live action backgrounds, that's one of the fewest elements that made this cartoon stand out more.
I was surprised that it became a failure so fast. After reading so many negative reviews from various viewers who say that it wasn't that funny.
I think the reason why not many people expect this to be a great comedy is probably because the writers didn't work out most of the jokes presented in the show. I admit that there were moments where a joke could been more funny than it was presented. Also a couple of the characters could need some working on too. Cause if you want a cartoon to be successful you need appealing characters.
Could this show have been a bigger success, I think so. Part of the problem with it is the writers failed to come up with something that would appeal to all viewers. If the writers took the time to gather surveys on what people want to see in this cartoon then it would of lasted for at least 2-3 seasons the most.

I watched Sit Down, Shut Up.
Adult Swim aired it around 2013 or 2014.
and....I liked it and here is why.
A group of silly teachers work at a high school where they are...well you know, silly. These teachers are pretty fun to look at and I see a bit of a character development in them, I'm just saying. One of my favorite characters of the show is of course...Miracle. I like Miracle because... #1: She's kinda cute, sweet, and nice. #2: She's funny and she carries a baby. and.. #3: I like listening to her voice and she is a pacifist.
Like freaking seriously, Miracle is the best character in the show in my opinion. I was honestly kinda bummed that Adult Swim doesn't air it anymore, but whatever, stuff happens. So in conclusion, Sit Down, Shut Up was a good show, the teachers are fun, the writing is decent, and also Miracle. (She is literally the best)Too bad FOX canceled it after one season. Give this one a 8.3/10.

that it has a lot of potential to be an addicting show within a season or two. A good cast, with quirky writing becomes a fresh new approach to the adult animated world. I like how this differs a lot from the norm(Simpson's,family guy,American dad)with it's live-action backdrop and it's mission hill influenced drawing, I welcome it with open arms.
I hope to see a lot more from this show, it's already setting in nicely.
I give the PILOT 7/10 and keep my general vote/rating for the show until it's had a complete season (or half lol)
Also note that I did like KOTH. haha

First of all the title is just great, it feels like that is the way it is in school for real. It's a good concept, since there aren't very many shows about the teachers at school. I found this show to be pretty good, well at least the first episode was good. The jokes were funny and the storyline worked. I enjoyed watching and surprisingly the animation was rather good, which is hard to find good animation lately. It was a little weird that pretty much the whole Saturday Night Live cast is starring, but they play their parts well.I hope that this series lasts more than a few episodes and doesn't just go downhill like King of the Hill did after a while.
Oddly enough, the animation reminds me of the old "Critic" carton with Jon Lovitz...
but whereas the Critic was funny, this is just horrible...
It seems the use of still photos for backdrops shows a shortcutting approach to the animation process, and the use of trite stereotypes and clichés shows a shortcutting approach to the writing...
Does the TV-14 rating mean that this is only liable to funny to those 14 and under..? A waste of good vocal talent...
With the current trend in television, I guess this will run for 4 or 5 seasons... While good shows will continue to whither and die within 2.
