The team behind Bad Teacher has successfully reconfigured the raunchy comedy into a heart warming sitcom starring Ari Graynor that is still bad in all the right ways. [28 Apr 2014]

Meredith is a gold-digger, but when push comes to shove she chooses her students’ welfare over her ambition to become someone’s new wife. That is a pat resolution in a movie but not enough to sustain a series.

I wish they didn't cancel this show so early. I throught it was very good and very funny. I am very sad it is gone already. I hope their is a chance they will bring it back on air.

As is so often the case, the premiere episode tries too hard and isn’t as funny as it could be. The writing loosens up later on, and has some charm.

It’s not about a “bad” teacher, just a slightly irreverent one.

Perhaps “Mediocre Teacher” would be a better title for this so-so comedy about trophy wife Meredith Davis (Ari Graynor), who suddenly finds herself replaced by a shinier trophy.

Bad Teacher has its moments, with dialogue that's sometimes sharper than the situations. It isn't nearly funny enough, though, to make me want to spend another period--much less the rest of the school year--watching Graynor vamp her way through American history.

Leached of the original's tart sense of humor, the series quickly settles into lowest-common-denominator boilerplate, an unintended critique of the declining sitcom formula.

The most funniest, hilarious and truthful TV show yet! I just wish I could watch all the episodes at once but they aren't all out yet upsetting, though I can not wait for the next episode to be released.

I only recorded this because I already watch Two and a Half Men and Elementary, and was pleasantly surprised with the premiere starring relative newcomer Caitlin Kimball. Could very be because I had really low expectations, but I thought it was good for a few yucks.

The main difference between this and the movie version is that the movie has actual jokes and is actually funny. This **** royally, and was a big waste of time

To be frank, Bad Judge is just terrible. Less comedy and more stupido. Remember how terrible Bad Teacher on CBS was last spring? Bad Judge on NBC is even worse. Poor Kate Walsh. This show will be canceled.

Some may have laughed. I felt like I'd been conned. Predictable plot, boorish jokes and lame premise. The trinity of a poor show. Enjoy it now, if you must, because it won't be around next year.
