Ratings Review: BAD TEACHER (Season One)

You always have to watch with caution, any series that premiere in March, or later, in any given season. The fatality rate must be near 90%, for every SCANDA, there is a BAD TEACHER.

Based on the Cameron Diaz movie, BAD TEACHER never really caught on with viewers. Retention out of TWO AND A HALF MEN quickly went from 83% to just 69%, in a few short weeks.  The viewership never built from the previous week's numbers. nearly half of the A81-49 audience was gone when CBS finally decided to pull the series from the schedule.

For it's five episodes, BAD TEACHER averaged 5.96 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49. If you want to catch the remaining unaired episodes, you will have to wait for either the DVD set or when it comes to Netfilx. Both formats should be released in the late summer or early fall.
