Excellent but underrated film
Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Having seen the original British version of teachers i was expecting simple re-write to give it an American touch. However, I was, at first, appalled to see that that teachers had become a poorly written canned laughter show in comparison to its British forefather ...... then i watched the second episode and then then the third and i was hooked. It may not be the show i was expecting it to be but it has become its own show. The one-liners may not be perfect but they made me laugh, the continuity provided a good background to all of the jokes and frankly it was often immature and thats what we love the best about comedy shows. hopefully we will see a second season of teachers as there is much more that can be done.Overall Grade: B- A good Start but some serious improvement needed next term

I absolutely love this show. I like the relationships between the character's. When your in school you never think about what your teacher's lives are really like and i'm not dumb I know our teacher's lives aren't like that but it makes you think.I like to see the dedication of the teacher's to the student's and it's from the creature of Scrubs so it could never be actually as bad as the others said. I really like the relationship between the male teachers. I also like that there are little clicks between the teachers just like the kids in school. The teachers pretend that they are sort of destroying their students and maybe one of them is. The teachers all have their own lives and it's fun to see that because you never think of your teachers of having a life besides teaching at school. I think it is totally worth a watch and maybe you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Teachers Drinking, trying to have sex, being disinterested in their job sometimes? How refreshingly true.My wife is a teacher, and we both absolutely love to watch this show. It goes to extremes for comic elements, but there are times where teachers just need a drink after dealing with the kids, and times where teaching is just not the first thing on your mind. There are a lot of one liners that can be distracting, but the character play between the cast is superb. (I still am waiting for Justin Bartha's Character to have a daydream with the 2 hot teachers with Van Halen playing in the background.) This is one of the 3 shows on our weekly tivo list that we can actually watch together and agree on (How I Met Your Mother and Smallville being the others.

Sounds like the previous reviewer was having a bad night when watching this show's pilot. There's plenty of room for improvement for Teachers, but keep in mind that Cheers faced the same kind of harsh criticism and was almost canceled in its first season. Am I implying that Teachers has the same potential as Cheers? Not necessarily, but I do think it's a diamond in the rough. The main asset on Teachers' side is its host of distinctive characters. The writing is a bit uneven, but occasionally produces biting gems like an attractive female teacher's observation about three leering male co-workers, comparing them to a 'recruitment poster for Lesbians.' Put-down humor may not be genteel, but it scores laughs, and has ever since Sophia's zingers in Golden Girls. The main character seems to be Jeff Cahill(Justin Bartha), a sarcastic, bad-boy English teacher who's hot for Alice Fletcher(Sarah Alexander), a tart-tongued, ex-Brit fellow teacher who would respond well to Jeff's advances if only he'd be more mature. I share her disdain for his attitude and fountain of quips. Enough is enough. Also, the show's wardrobe staff take note: Jeff's jeans are way too tight and the low-riding pair worn in the pilot looked rather, well, feminine. If the writers use other characters more liberally (the slutty substitute, the burned out bald guy, and the uptight African American buddy), good things may happen. And how about involving students more? Will they maximize Teachers' potential, or will we consistently mark its card 'Capable of Doing Better?' We'll see.
