From Wikipedia:
Those Who Can’t is a half-hour show, based in Denver, Colorado, that follows three dysfunctional teachers, played by show creators Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy of the Denver-based comedy troupe The Grawlix.

Maria Thayer stars as the school librarian with a bubbling passion for life.
The show airs Thursdays on TruTV.
