It's a funny show. Not deep. Not important. Not filled with great character development or awesome story arcs.... just funny. There are lots of sit-coms that are popular that we don't find amusing at all, but this one is smarter than the average sit-com. If you are fans of humor with intellect, try it!

It makes me laugh and it's not predictable as hell, so it's looking good so far. I like it.

To be fair, I am a huge Always Sunny fan and love Glenn Howerton. That being said, I love the premise of this show. It gets off to a slow start, but I am addicted after 3 episodes. Glenn crushes it, and the kids should develop as nice supporting roles. Not sure why everyone is rating so low. On the low end I would still give it a solid 6.5. Get to the third episode and you will be laughing out loud.

The comedy is intellegent in its own absurdist style. However, I've noticed a theme within the "1 Star" rating reviews; most, if not all, are saying that the show is "offence in this political climate", and should "cater more to today's political atmosphere by discussing some important topics". NOT ALL COMEDY HAS TO HAVE A POLITICAL AGENDA. Let's leave the politics on the news where it belongs. If you want a apolitical absurdist comedy: This show is for you. It's hard for me to see this show being a '1 star' rating by anyone. It's probably not fittingly a 10 (yet) that I gave it, but it's certainly higher than a 6, let along 1.

This show is amazing. Howerton does re-visit his Dennis Reynolds, but I don't really see this as a bad thing as that character is PERFECT for this part. Essentially a version of "Bad Teacher" with a far funnier cast and a unique plot. Oswalt plays the role of a small town principal longing for people to like him to perfection. This show is funny, intelligent, and quirky.

As far as all the low ratings go...I'm starting to think they were written by people who couldn't sell their pilot to a network, this show is brilliant.

Being a critic isn't easy, but reading some of the reviews on this show made me cringe. People are being entirely too sensitive or expecting this show to show more of a semblance to reality...guess what??? IT'S A COMEDY TV SHOW. It doesn't have to be realistic, it's entertaining....and if you're looking to be entertained, this is a great show for you.

I watched the first 3 episodes, and I don't understand why this show is getting so much hate. The premise is fun, the kids in the class are a fun ensemble, the lead is awesome, and Patton Oswalt is great as always. I was audibly laughing throughout each episode, and I can't wait to see the premise explored further. I look forward to learning more about Jack's backstory.

I really like this show. It is extremely quirky which kind of worries me because quirky always struggles in the ratings - and after reading some of the other reviews I can already see this happening... but if you want to watch something a little different this is the show! Hope it survives because I think it could become a sleeper cult type hit!

Great writing! Surprisingly, I laughed out loud many times during the first three episodes.

I absolutely loved seasons 1 through 3 it was laugh out loud funny. That's why I gave it a 7. So excited that season 4 was released - but after watching the first five episodes I'm left wondering what the hell happened to this show. It seems like they're trying too hard to be weird but forgot to add the funny it had for its last 3 seasons. The 4th season has failed to make me laugh at all. Call Fonzie this show has sadly jumped the shark.

What are folks talking about with the poor reviews? I do NOT get it. This show keeps me interested in each and every quirky character. The plot is as unique as the color scheme. Maybe it's just me, but I find that to be a brave deviation from the norm. And it works. I also appreciate the well timed nuances in the sound effects. Yes, this is refreshing. And I want more.

There's something that is missing in this show that I can't quite pinpoint. THE MICK has definitely filled the void of not having IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY around by basically replicating the same template of having a handful of repugnant characters playing off each other.

This show is like Dennis being a douche with no equals to counter his awfulness. At times it just gets annoying how his character just keeps bragging about having a PhD from Harvard. The supporting characters come across as kind of weak. Patton Oswalt is a good foil to Howerton, but I don't think they've done enough with that yet. So far the students in his class, instead of all having kinds of personalities, for the most part come across as one blob of two dimensional uninteresting characters. Same thing can be said of the trio of teachers he's befriended. There's some differences reflected in the dialogue, but they feel one and the same.

PARKS & RECREATIONS took a while to get grounded and I fill like this show is still trying to find its footing.

An innovative story, funny plot, clever dialogues.. And a lot of intelligence in every detail, I enjoyed watching it.

It's actually pretty funny! Not as provoking as It's Always Sunny, but offers a good laugh.

Seasons 1 and 2 of AP Bio are really funny, sharp and quite a joy to watch. Season 3 however is an absolute car crash and I'm not quite sure how it managed to go so badly wrong, it's painful but you keep watching to see if there's improvement but it's dead on its feet. Season 4 starts just as poorly and I got no further than Episode 2. It needs to be killed off, what a waste.

Great cast with a unique take on humor. If you are a fan of Always Sunny in Philadelphia then you're going to love this. Give this show a try - watch 3-4 episodes and you'll be hooked!

I am personally tired of basic comedies. This show is clearly not.

Enjoy 10*

My best guess it must have been marketed at the wrong segment, maybe someone expected the likes of two broke girls glee, fun loving characters ect.

Worst thing i can say about this show is that its kind of a Dennis(Sunny) spin off, but its clever and hilarious. Maybe its just for depraved people like me who likes it edgy and anti gentrified, and its all the wholesome people tuning in and getting disapointed.

I would compare it to Vice Principals, but more original in its writing.

Seriously, the teacher tickler made me laugh so hard, that joke alone should net this show and emmy and a decent 8 on imdb.

To me what makes this show is the casting, the students are seriously hilarious, they have an excellent back and forth with their teacher. This show has me laughing out loud every episode, the teachers are also hilarious, especially the gym teacher in the first few episodes. I like philosophy and find the main characters background and views comical, this show surprisingly keeps getting better as the characters develop more. This is in my top 5 comedy shows right now, very much recommended, definitely doesn't deserve 6.9 in my opinion which is why I gave it a 10 but honestly to me it's close to a 10, very enjoyable.

Only watched first episode. Laughed out loud a couple times. It shows promise. It's not "Always Sunny" just like Mick isn't "Always Sunny" It has the same sort of gritty comedy that is a little crude which I enjoy.

If you look at the comedies that are on TV and receiving awards, this is right along the same caliber. Glenn's character was entertaining and that's what sitcoms are all about.

Anyone just throwing a one star at this is just being immature and lazy. It doesn't deserve that bad of a rating even if you hated the show.

As a huge fan of it's always sunny I instantly loved this show for glenn howerton alone. A lot of people probably get turned off on this show because they don't get the style of comedy being done. This is a show that gets funnier each time you watch it because the jokes are subtle. You have to learn the characters and then the mannerisms become hilarious. I hope for Patton Oswald's character to start hitting more. The students are getting better each episode. The three female teacher friends are actually pretty funny. This show is good and I think eventually it will be great.

...that's a big BUT... I watch this show with a grain of salt and my brain switched off.

To truly enjoy this show, you need to accept that this is pure fiction and things that happen on the show will never ever happen in the real world, without the consequences that our main character never gets.

In the real world, teachers will never get away with what our main character as the new AP Bio teacher does in the show. So long as you accept this show is pure fantasy of a (or many) talented comedic writer(s) and nothing more, then you will truly enjoy watching this.

But if you like real world scenarios and comedy, give this a wide berth and move on to something else.

But if you're prepared to be entertained, prepare to park your brain to the side and give this show a go.

I think it's funny. All the actors are doing a great job and I laugh through the whole thing.

Dennis has moved into teaching! If you like It's Always Sunny...you'll like this, its very funny. Dennis's, sorry, Jack's nemesis Is a really unfunny Ricky Gervais impressionist (if you think RG isn't funny then you're wrong) but proves for obvious and funny scenes. The cast are brilliant especially Patton Oswald and Allisyn Snider but I'll say it again, Dennis from Sunny has a teaching job. It's everything you'd expect from him.

Harvard-educated former philosophy professor Jack Griffin (Glenn Howerton) is bitter from an embarrassing Youtube video and the lost of his Stanford job to nemesis Miles Leonard. His meek ex-roommate Principal Ralph Durbin (Patton Oswalt) hires him as the A.P. Bio teacher at his old Toledo high school. He is living in his late mom's home and failing in every way. His students are not happy since he refuses to teach them biology. He decides to seek revenge with the help of his students.

I love Always Sunny and there is an irreverent happiness to that cast's other works. This is very much that. It's irreverent with a bitter joyous tone. Howerton is great and I always like Oswalt. What puts this over the top are the 'kids'. They are a hilarious bunch. If anything, this show should have a few student-centric episodes. It would be great to see the kids in other school activities. Sadly, this is canceled after two seasons. It's gone too soon.

Overall I really enjoyed the episodes and the Paula Pell -Helen character needs her own show !!

Season 1 and 2 were hilarious! There was a central theme to each season. I really like the cast and the writing of the first two seasons was funny. Then this show moved to the Peacock and turned into a hot mess. I'm so disappointed.

Season 3 was horrendous. It was just a bunch of random, odd, and very stupid episodes. I think the writers and producers got locked in a building while it was getting fumigated and wrote season 3. It makes no sense! It's the worst thing to ever come out of Toledo.
