I happened to read another critic who made the observation that the Jack Griffin part seemed like it'd be perfect for Bill Murray. I prefer Howerton in the part, but it seems that A.P. Bio is constantly being dismissed as the Dennis Reynolds character in Bad Teacher or criticized for not being enough like Always Sunny. If Murray or Joel McHale had been cast as Jack, would people be making the same comparisons?I don't get the "offensive in this political climate" argument either. There's a huge difference between an exploitative abuse of power and using your position to slack off for an hour. AP Bio puts SNL's "Winston University" rules in play, with the option to brainstorm revenge missions (or use the hour to take a nap).AP Bio is a great show, and the editing squeezes lot of information into a half hour, but you've got pay attention. For someone who's a chronic multi-tasker, a lot of what sets AP Bio apart is going to be lost. If someone's simply looking for a show to work as background noise, a multi-cam comedy with a laugh track is probably the better option.

Why does everything in this show seem to be Blueish/green/Aqua colored!?? Makes me want to adjust the TV. It's getting annoying. I like the show, but what's up ?

Having read some of the IMDB reviews, I thought 'A.P. Bio' was going to be hilarious. Not only is it not funny, it's awful. Not only is the entire half-hour show not humorous, there isn't even the occasional comedic one-liner. Since Patton Oswalt is such a brilliant comedy actor, I thought his being on this show would be validation of its quality. I was wrong.Gave the show a VERY generous 2* out of 10 ~ basically because I feel bad Oswalt now has this on his resume.Simply awful.

This off-the-wall comedy takes some time to find its feet, but I was interested enough to keep going and by the fourth or fifth episode I was into it. The audience follows the same path as the students in coming to terms with the eccentricity of the main character and finally seeign the positive aspects of his outwardly selfish behaviour.
