Mediocre, yet somewhat comforting.

I found this show to be fun to watch. It wasn't anything groundbreaking but the chemistry and banter between Williams and Tate was very fun.

The humor never put me on the defensive and was a nice balance between outright laughs and self deprecating groaners.

All the teachers were likable enough, even the "amomnible" gym teacher!

You've reached the end.
