Season 1 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2014 - 2014
The first and sole season of this single-camera comedy based on the 2011 film of the same name focuses on the antics of Meredith Davis (Ari Graynor), a recent divorcee who is desperate to find another rich husband so that she can continue to enjoy her lavish, upper-class lifestyle. Meredith decides to pose as a formally-educated teacher and obtains a position at the middle school of a friend's stepdaughter, Lily (Sara Rodier), in hopes of hitting it off with a wealthy single father. Meredith is soon introduced to the school's staff members, which include Irene (Sara Gilbert), an awkward yet good-hearted woman who she quickly befriends; Ginny (Kristin Davis), an uptight teacher who takes her career very seriously and is immediately suspicious of Meredith's motives; Carl (David Alan Grier), the recently divorced principal of the school who becomes smitten with the new teacher; and Joel (Ryan Hansen), a gym teacher who went to high school with Meredith and continually fights to win her affection. Throughout the inaugural season, Meredith finds herself in a variety of hilarious situations from fixed science fairs to searching for love at a support group.
