Bad Teacher
Created by Hilary Winston
On CBS
A high-energy workplace sitcom built on an irreverent protagonist's schemes and inappropriate behavior, sustained by comedic momentum rather than character depth or stakes.
An always inappropriate, fearless and unapologetic former trophy wife masquerades as a teacher in order to find a new man after her wealthy husband leaves her penniless.
