Class dismissed. It didn’t take CBS long to decide on the fate of Bad Teacher. The new sitcom has been cancelled by the network.
On Bad Teacher, a former trophy wife (Ari Graynor) masquerades as a teacher in order to find a new man to marry. The rest of the cast includes Kristin Davis, David Alan Grier, Sara Gilbert, Ryan Hansen, and Sara Rodier.
The series got off to a decent start late last month but the ratings have fallen in the two subsequent weeks. The most recent episode drew a lowly 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.73 million viewers. That’s much too low to garner a second season renewal.
It’s unclear at this point if all of the remaining episodes will air. The network ordered 13 installments, has aired three, and still has three more on the schedule. Hopefully, for those who like the show, CBS will keep it on the air long enough for all of the episodes to be shown.
What do you think? Did you like Bad Teacher? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season instead?
Hey CBS executives, Cheers was a Sleeper when it first started out, and it was going to be yanked from the airwaves in 1982, please gives the new shows some time to gain popularity and word of mouth. Take it easy on the cancel button, not everything is about the ratings.
Networks keep pushing perverted garbage on us and when a good show comes along, that actually has a story line and characters learn and grow, they cancel after 1 show or more -whats up with this? Bummer
How does shows like “The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, to mention a few, be allowed to be on the air waves for so long? They are vulgar, sexist, and anti-semist. As said in my last posting, I hope cable picks up the show, if Cougar Town can get a second life why not Bad Teacher?
They didn’t even give it a chance…Cancelled after just three episodes?
I love the show! The humor is funny and fresh! So sad!
How does this show not get renewed? The Big Bang theory drownes keep watching that show go figure? I hope HBO, TBS, or Lifetime gets this show instead, Modern Family is not funny; in fact it is lame. I guess teachers don’t really like to see how they look. When I was in High School in 1989, this one teacher, was similiar to the main character, and she was so into being popular, and being cool etc. She also thought she was also, one of the students. So this show is not that far from reality.
I really like this show I hope they at least air the rest of the episodes or release them all on DVD. I thought it was funny and I never watch tv. This was one of the only shows I made sure I was home to watch. Sad to see it go….
Ari Gaynor is easy on the eyes, I hope they give her another show.
I liked this show, too bad it got cut =[
I hope they to air all 13 eps
I’m really disappointed. I really like this show! It’s really funny. CBS didn’t even give it a chance!
I loved Bad Teacher. Having been a middle school teacher myself for 14 years, the information about the back story with the teachers lives, as well as their dedication to the students was great to see. Also, it was cool to see how Ari’s character (Meredith) was starting to be pulled towards the students in her classes and their concerns, showing that teaching can be captivating in one’s life and actually change and mold a teachers life for the better. I also loved the kids that Ms. Davis interacted with….Lilly, James, Bronwen, Victor, Kelsey and how they beat the bullies… Read more »
I think the show is hilarious. It is one of my favorite sitcoms and i just hate that they are canceling it.
I love Bad Teacher. I hate the big networks.
This sitcom should have NEVER been aired, it was an insult to viewers.
Come to think of it, The crazy ones, The Michael J Fox show, Surviving Jack, About a boy…….just awful
In general, I usually prefer sitcoms to all other types of tv shows. BUT Bad Teacher is just awful! I’m so glad that CBS decided to cancel it — never should have aired in the first place.
I think it’s an hillarious sitcom and I’ve only watched one episode
To Bad, it was cute I liked it. Hope they change their mind oops they are not known for being vary smart.
we obviously watched different shows, you are talking about the sitcom on CBS, right?
cause the show I watch once made my eyeballs bleed it was so bad.
I just died laughing. Good response.
