  1. Good for Craig. Reading the synopsis though, it kinda sounds like The Steve Harvey Show

  2. So wait, is this premiering next fall?

    Great to see Greg will be involved, even if he continues to be less involved with Parks & Rec.

  3. Yay!!!! I love Craig! He is so talented. Show sounds great. I’m very happy for everyone and can’t wait to watch it!

  4. This definitely sounds promising. Craig is a great actor, loved him in Pineapple Express. I can definitely see this happening with the “big city” mentioned being Chicago, also his hometown. With the push for education, and need for teachers as well as the recent teachers strike in Chicago that has been in the media, it could definitely draw some attention. Of course it’s a comedy so not necessarily the same crowd, just saying I can see how Greg sold it to the execs. Smart move.
