Regardless of the name or decade, the peacock network has dominat- ed Thursday nights with its comedy lineups. Between "Cheers," "Sein- feld," "Friends," "30 Rock" and "The Office," the cultural impact has been large and undeniable. "A.P. Bio" will attempt to join NBC's historic laughers club with its hilarious premiere airing Thurs- day, Feb. 1. Workplaces make for great comedy locations, in large part due to the diverse personali- ties present. The often mundane nature of the work and setting seems to bring out the nuttier side of people. Written by "Saturday Night Live" alumnus Mike O'Brien and executive produced by Seth Mey- ers ("Late Night With Seth Mey- ers") and former boss Lorne Mi- chaels ("Saturday Night Live"), "A.P. Bio" puts a different spin on the school-set comedy. The single- camera comedy is more like "House of Cards" than "Welcome Back, Kotter" or "Saved by the Bell." The star and creator of "It's Al- ways Sunny in Philadelphia," Glenn Howerton leaves Paddy's Pub to lead the cast of "A.P. Bio" as Jack Griffin, a disgraced Harvard philosophy scholar. After missing out on his dream job, Griffin settles for a gig at Whitlock High School in Toledo, Ohio, teaching advanced placement biology. Quickly realizing he knows more about Plato and Socrates than cell theory and homeostasis, Griffin de- cides to forgo teaching biology. In- stead of sticking to the curriculum, he plots to use his honor roll stu- dents to do his bidding against those who wronged him and stole his job. He attempts to do so by way of some decidedly unorthodox teaching methods. There's only one thing standing in the way of Griffin's master plan, and that's a short pushover of a boss in Patton Oswalt ("The King of Queens") as Principal Durbin. The timid, nervous and awkward school head suspects that some- thing's amiss with his new biology teacher and intends to stop what- ever is going on. The middle-age principal has no intention of being trampled over by an outsider. Oswalt seems to be omnipres- ent nowadays, popping up in video games ("Minecraft: Story Mode"), music videos (Weezer's "I Love the USA") and on the big screen. He Feature this week
