The "funny-ness" of this series remains questionable even after some seasons have passed. Shuddering memories of incredibly stupid and lazy 'colleagues' (mostly in the Business, Guidance and Phys Ed) rise to the surface whenever I glimpse Gerry's silly smug mug. He's an actor defenders claim, to which I reply: No he's not...he's playing himself. And it ain't no stretch. Proof? Forcible viewing of his several "comedy" acts underlined this conclusion. All his observational humour was based on an incredibly selfish stance that came across as so intrinsic to his own character (it must be coming from somewhere!) that it seems he is willing to accept laughter as a by-product of a world view he maintains anyway with little or no appreciation of the degree to which he is revealing and so embarrassing himself. But back to the Mr D series.... that creepy relationship between the stick-man and the female principal? YIKES...report those two to the union, NOW!! Many talented and excellent supporting actors deserve the work they get on this series however, so good for them, but otherwise, it's still no thanks for me. Time passes: Tried to view this show again and good lord it's still as bad. Gerry tries to bate a predator with the school's kids? THIS is supposed to be FUNNY? An new low that really just further reveals how truly shudderingly awful a teacher he is with no worthy punishment. Why would anyone think this is amusing I am still at a loss to understand.
