I Miss Boston Public

Every couple of years, a network attempts to create a new teacher television show. FOX successfully did it with Boston Public for a couple of seasons, but just like the fate of Ally McBeal and hundreds of former FOX shows, viewers tuned out when they came to their senses.

The most recent attempt is NBC's Teachers, a sitcom which has it all: the funny but sensitive laid back English teacher, the hot and unattainable blonde, the hot "other" girl, the black sidekick, the bald fatass who teaches something meaningless, the math teacher/loser, and the completely fake principal.

Just like real teachers, the show portrays about two minutes of actual teaching and significant fraternizing with colleagues. Unlike real teachers, the sitcom features drinking at school, banging hot substitute teachers, and wearing jeans everyday.

Thank you, NBC, for a somewhat noble effort; however, this show will be gone before you can say, "May sweeps."
