EPISODE
Bad Teacher - Season 1
It is a series of events that speak of an attractive, but repulsive, and misleading woman, and perhaps she is the woman who does not apologize for her inappropriate behavior constantly. Shortly after divorce from her husband, that woman becomes a teacher to find her next husband.

If you've seen the film, you've seen the shtick. And CBS, surprisingly, doesn't find many new notes to play in the TV version, leaving open the question of why they bothered cloning such a forgettable film at all.

What this Bad Teacher really needed to do was outsmart the source material -- make this version more clever, or sharper, or funnier, or (above all) make it for adults. After all, no teens will ever fall for this flavorless, sanitized and timid retread.

Hilary Winston's TV adaptation of Bad Teacher has the potential to exceed the movie version with the help of its vivacious lead, Ari Graynor, and a great ensemble cast.
April 28, 2014
The casting for Bad Teacher is brilliant. Graynor is enormously appealing as the lead, balancing an insouciant affect with a slinky, thrown-off, ironic villainy.
April 24, 2014
Graynor, fronting her first TV series, seems perfectly equipped to do so. The eye candy attributes are obvious, but she also knows how to land a punchline and parry with the veteran pros surrounding her.
April 24, 2014
Bad Teacher relies on a one-joke premise that's funny enough in the premiere but seems like it will wear poorly over time.
April 24, 2014
There's warmth and some humor here. It's also been tweaked so that, unlike the movie, it isn't only for teens. But Bad Teacher has a tough test ahead.
April 23, 2014
The black comedy devolves into shades of gray, and not the good kind.
April 24, 2014
Bad Teacher puts on a crass front but is saved by a kindly heart.

We're enjoying the Bad Teacher TV comedy much more than the movie.
