Channelup

The staff at Knob Haven High School have a little problem. They want to come across as a distinguished school. Unfortunately they have Ennis Hoftard (Will Arnet) as their representative and all he wants to talk about are the three women he slept with over the weekend. All of the staff is vying to be the most inspirational teacher as the award comes with varying levels of thanks from the lovely Miracle. Is it bad that I think Miracle is hot? I can't blame the teachers for wanting to go above and beyond in order to impress her. Larry Littlejunk is the one that goes to the greatest lengths in order to get with Miracle. I love Larry's wavering back and forth about his feelings for her. On the one hand he is madly attracted to her, but on the other knows she is probably one IQ point above the mental handicap line. According to Metacritic, reviewers aren't too hot on Sit Down, Shut Up . Even Mrs. Channelup is not a big fan declaring tonight, "I think the show is just...

I do not understand Fox. No station is quicker to move, mis-promote, not promote or f$%@ with. After one episode the powers that be already moved Sit Down, Shut Up 's timeslot. Much in the same way Fox ruined Arrested Development (one of the funniest shows of the last decade)by rearranging its broadcast time, they seem intent on doing the same thing here. Arrgghh. Okay I got that out of my system and Hulu'ed the latest episode. Miracle feeds the entire teaching staff hemlock. Not a great move from the science teacher. The staffs medical bills force the school to hold its ill-fated Fair. I get the sense that the writers of this show (many the same from Arrested Development ) are having fun with the animated medium. They take advantage of things like dream sequences, thought bubbles and quick movements. Things they probably wish they could have done on Arrested Development . The character banter is almost exactly the same as AD but the visuals offer something totally n...

Jason Bateman, Will Arnet, Cheri Oteri, Will Forte and Kenan Thompson in cartoon form? Sign me the f$%@ up. This animated series combines my three favorite things: the brain trust behind Arrested Development , pissed off/loser teachers and envelope-pushing comedy. In other words - Hilarious. Sit Down, Shut Up is adapted by Michael Hurwitz ( Arrested Development ) from the Australian series of the same name. It follows a group of neurotic, self-absorbed, incompetent teachers and administrators through their lives in a high school (mascot: the Baiters). The group includes a pornography obsessed German teacher, a God loving- Evolution hating science teacher, a bisexual technology teacher, a grim reaper- like librarian, and an ego maniacal english teacher, among others. The faculty want to do everything except teach. They take steroids, start hunger strikes, dig for money, and hide in the locker rooms to spy on the cute boys. Sounds like my high school. What I loved about this sh...
