Ed Begley Jr is amazing in this
He's on fire here as the professor. Every scene he's in I'm laughing. The dry sarcasm, the rigid posture, the burnt-out looks. Love it.
Highly recommend this show just for an amazing supporting cast. Craig T Nelson, Annie Potts, Wendy Malick, Wallace Shawn, Rex Linn, even cameos from Reba McIntyre and Jason Alexander.
