Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It held its audience for several seasons and it's still drawing plenty of interest. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Our take: A mockumentary sitcom set at an underfunded Philadelphia school. Proof that network comedies can still be great.

In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
