The Issue

In a time where we were thrown into dysfunctional government leadership, we had a brief escape. A show about dysfunctional educators. Those Who Can’t was not your cookie cutter comedy show. It was raw, it was edgy and it made you say, “What did these comedians’ mothers ingest while pregnant?” Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy may have been those guys who you both equally laughed  at and got aggravated with in your own high school experience, but their timing and chemistry brought us a show where it felt good to simply cackle at the absurdity. Their characters were uniquely equal parts moron and  oddly endearing. With support from Rory Scovel,  Maria Thayer and Sonya Eddy (RIP), the faculty at Smoot High were just barely more capable than the students that they are there to educate… and it’s glorious.  It was truly a masterwork of off-beat humor. The show was just coming into its own when it was mournfully cancelled. While the execs at TruTv may have given up on its first scripted show, many, many of us have not. We want to revisit the pranks and schemes of our favorite inept teachers. We want to sit down on a Friday night after a long week of responsibility, and watch a history teacher, a Spanish teacher, a gym teacher, a librarian and a principal behave in ways we could never, as it would result in a visit with HR and unpaid leave. The world today  is difficult and draining. Is it too much to ask for a show that we can just watch and laugh at? It’s already been filmed. It’s out there in the ether. Bring it back to us so we can enjoy without thinking or feeling anything other than incredulous pleasure.  Those Who Can’t belongs on streaming so that those of us who can will be able  delight in a witty, ingenious program once again. This petition is asking the Skydance Corporation to reinstate this production on any  platforms available.
