Welcome to the none-too-hallowed halls of Hamilton Middle School, where well-meaning but frazzled vice principal Flynn Sullivan tries to keep things running smoothly despite her eccentric colleagues: clueless principal Herb Adams; Daisy, her power-hungry secretary; tart-tongued English teacher Shelly; flighty math teacher Amanda; meek history teacher Clark; and school nurse Luis Jackson.

Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 08/14/2019
A sitcom about a public school would seem a natural for satire and camaraderie, but The Faculty demeans teachers and fails serious issues. Go to Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 08/14/2019
If the new ABC sitcom The Faculty were one of the students at the junior high where it's set, it would be held back a year for failure to produce original work. Go to Full Review Carole Horst Variety 08/14/2019
While the cast's chemistry is right-on, and it is nice to see [Meredith] Baxter back on a sitcom, The Faculty's blend of comedy and humane life lessons isn't particularly witty or memorable. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 08/14/2019
The depth of the TV audience's fondness for [Meredith] Baxter will be tested by her new series, The Faculty. The ABC sitcom is listless, predictable and only sporadically funny. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine 08/14/2019
