【内容介绍】:
Set in New Jersey, Teachers stars Justin Bartha as Jeff Cahill, a skilled, idealistic young English teacher at the fictitious Filmore High School, whose apparent apathy toward his job masks his actual wisdom concerning teaching at an underfunded school. Sarah Alexander co-stars as idealistic British history teacher Alice Fletcher, his only kindred spirit on the faculty, whom Jeff also has romantic feelings for. Alice does not reciprocate these feelings, but she is becoming fonder of him. Radio personality Phil Hendrie plays Dick Green, an apathetic phys-ed and physics teacher, who spends his afternoons chain-smoking and barbecuing behind the gym. Deon Richmond plays Calvin Babbitt, the drama teacher whose attitude about teaching falls somewhere between Jeff's and Dick's. He often gets caught up in Jeff's schemes. Kali Rocha stars as the uncaring, rule-abiding Principal Emma Wiggins. Matt Winston stars as Mitch Lenk, math teacher and lap dog to Principal Wiggins. It is implied that he is romantically interested in her. Sarah Shahi stars as Tina Torres, an attractive teacher from Mexico. She is Alice's possible rival for Jeff's affections, though it seems Jeff prefers Alice. It is revealed in Episode 105 ("Testing 1-2-3") that she does not have her teaching license, having going to school, but taking jobs before she took her finals. However, she stated later in the episode that she will be taking them.
Episode 1, entitled "Substitute", aired March 28, 2006.
Like many sitcoms, Teachers is shot before a studio audience.
The series began development under the title Filmore Middle, which reflected its original middle school setting.
Though adapted for American television by Matt Tarses, a writer and producer of the critically-lauded series Sports Night and Scrubs, Teachers has been panned by many critics—including the San Francisco Chronicle's Tim Goodman—as unoriginal and cliched. (Copy from Wikipedia)
