Just got into watching this on Hulu, and have really enjoyed it. Great writing, cast, ect.
Fuck you, NBC! Dicks...
A.P. Bio was NBC's coolest comedy since Community

"NBC’s decision to give this razor-sharp comedy the ultimate class dismissed wasn’t exactly shocking, but it was nevertheless disheartening," says Josh Sorokach, adding: "A.P. Bio is different. A.P. Bio is fun. A.P. Bio, for lack of a better term, is just plain cool. Mike O’Brien’s sitcom reminds me of another under-appreciated yet passionately-adored series: Community. Both shows excelled at delivering a distinct brand of weird, offbeat humor that resonated with a certain subset of fans. Few network sitcoms are as adept at comedic innovation as Community and A.P. Bio (The Good Place being the exception), but the reason I love as opposed to merely liking these shows is the way they mix off-kilter comedy with a stealthy heart. Community is nominally about a suspended lawyer doing the bare minimum to get his law degree. A.P. Bio is technically about a disgraced Harvard professor trying to escape Toledo and return to the good life. But at their core, both shows are actually about a group of oddballs coming together to form a makeshift family." ALSO: The episode "Wednesday Morning 8 AM" is the only #SaveAPBio argument you need. https://tv.avclub.com/wednesday-morning-8-am-is-the-only-saveapbio-argume-1835110461/amp
Oddly enough, Wednesday Morning, 8 AM was the first episode of A.P. Bio that I watched. It was just all right, but the next episodes were even better: Toledo's Top 100 and, especially, J'accuse. I finished the rest of the season and really enjoyed it. I think Helen became my favorite character (especially when she throws her arm into the air in the last episode and freezes in position... twice.) Then I went back and binge-watched the first season online, and all of the second season episodes again, and then went to IMDB to see what trivia there was for the show. And that's when I found out it had been canceled! Now I'm devasted. I was really looking forward to seeing it return in the Fall.

School isn't out after all: The cancelled NBC comedy A.P. Bio will return for a third season on NBCUniversal's upcoming streaming service, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
[...] as NBC notes, A.P. Bio is an exceptional performer on digital platforms, where 35 percent of its 18-49 audience watches within 35 days. Also to that point, the series' pilot debuted to a 0.4 in the 13-34 demo, but to date is reporting a 5.9.
Sweet!
Glad that they are gonna give it a chance.
Looks like it was canned yet again. At least they were able to squeeze a few more years out of it:
Class is dismissed indefinitely for the students of Whitlock High - for real this time.
A.P. Bio has been cancelled at Peacock, series creator Mike O’Brien announced Monday. Its fourth - and now final - season dropped on Sept. 2 [2021].
NBC pulled the plug on A.P. Bio after two seasons in 2019, at which point Peacock swooped in and rescued it for an additional two seasons. All told, 42 episodes were produced (and remain available to stream on Peacock).
Season 3 was the best too!
