Bad Teacher - Season 1
This series is full of powerful events that speak of an attractive, but repulsive, misguided woman who may make some strange looks. Things change for that woman after divorce from her husband. That woman decides to become a teacher to find her next husband, which seems surprising.

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
Bad Teacher relies on a one-joke premise that's funny enough in the premiere but seems like it will wear poorly over time.

The black comedy devolves into shades of gray, and not the good kind.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 24, 2014
Bad Teacher puts on a crass front but is saved by a kindly heart.

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.
