.....'A.P. Bio'......
A.P. Bio Cancelled at NBC
......Class is dismissed indefinitely for the students of A.P. Bio, which has been cancelled at NBC after two seasons.
Creator Mike O’Brien broke the bad news on Twitter, encouraging fans to watch the four remaining episodes:
eOBrienXOXO
I'm intensely sad to announce that AP Bio will be ending after this season. This has been my favorite project of my life and that's because of the amazing writers, cast and crew. As most canceled shows probably feel, I think we were just hitting our stride and everyone was still
The comedy starred It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia vet Glenn Howerton as Jack Griffin, a disgraced Harvard philosophy professor who is forced to take a job in Toledo, Ohio, as a high school A.P. Biology teacher. But upon realizing he’s teaching bright kids, Jack decides to enlist them to get revenge on his rival, Miles. The cast also included Jean Villepique (Up All Night), Paula Pell (Big Mouth) and the ubiquitous Patton Oswald.
In its second season, A.P. Bio has averaged just above a 0.5 demo rating, which ranks second-lowest among all of NBC’s comedies (above only the midseason entry Abby’s)......
say goodbye.......?!

It was essentially the same character he plays on ASP but in a different setting.

I've heard good things. Second-coming of Community without valuable life-lessons or the search for happiness.
But it's on NBC and their programmers have been encouraging me not to watch NBC.

Worth streaming; particularly the first season.
The lead is very good, and while kid actors are usually the bane of my TV experience, this ensemble of kids is excellent; particularly the girl that becomes the teacher’s biggest fan.

This was one of the few current US network shows my wife and I sought out on Hulu every week. A lot of fun. Patton Oswalt was what brought me to it.
Also very Wes Anderson in composition, color palette, etc.
