I love dry humor and this is tops. Plus Sarah Alexander!!!!! British women are so lovely. In my opinion the shows draws on the relationship between students and teachers from the students point of what they think the teachers do. In either case the show is funny and the cast is perfect. Though we all recognize BUD!!! Kenny from the Cosby show. He has not outgrown his look. They include all of the typical, Hot teacher, Pretty teacher, and the rest. It is very hard to fill 10 lines on text. I like Sarah Alexander most. From there it goes to the brunette and then to the main character and then to the Principal chick.

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.

I just watched the pilot, and let me tell you, I never intend to watch this show again. Are TV viewers in general so stupid that they have to be told when to laugh? I swear, if I never hear another laugh track in any TV show, it'll be too soon. Of course, which is not to say I ever laughed anyway. In the pilot we had sexist jokes, racist jokes, and just generally dumb jokes. I miss the days when sitcoms weren't afraid to be smart instead of just giving us one-liner after one-liner after one-liner. Judging this show based on only a half-hour of viewing may be too harsh, but I don't care. Insipid dialogue, completely unlikable (and unbelievable) characters, and nothing resembling any real high school that I've been to make for one sad, sad effort. The one thing I will say in favor of this show is that Ms. Torres is a fox. But that alone is not nearly enough to save what should never have been given life in the first place. Someone on the message board posted the topic "Boston Public for idiots?" and I have to say I disagree. It's just TV for idiots.
