Those Who Can't is an American cable television series that premiered February 11, 2016 on truTV. On December 1, 2015, the show was renewed for a second season before the first season aired. The pre-launch renewal is a first for the cable net, which ordered 13 episodes for the second season.
On January 5, 2017, truTV renewed the series for a third season of 13 episodes to air sometime in 2017.
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. More inept than the kids they teach, they're out to beat the system as they struggle to survive each day on their own terms. Maria Thayer stars as the school librarian with a bubbling passion for life.
The show was originally set up for Amazon Studios who paid $50,000 to shoot the pilot. Amazon ordered six more episodes, but they never aired. The show was acquired by truTV as their first-ever full-length scripted comedy and was ordered with 10-episodes. The acquisition was part of truTV's comedy-driven “Way More Fun” programming initiative. When the show was first created, Cayton-Holland stated they wrote the character of Abbey Logan (originally played by comedian Nikki Glaser), the high-school librarian, as the love interest. Orvedahl stated that in the pilot, Abbey "just sort of lived in the library and served only to flirt with Adam’s character.” The character and role was revised for the shows run at truTV and Abbey is stated to have become "one of the gang" with all the characters now on equal footing.
The show holds a TV-MA rating due to language and suggestive humor.
Guest stars who have appeared on the show include Sarah Michelle Gellar, Susie Essman, T.J. Miller, Peter Stormare, Mark Hoppus, Michael Madsen, Cheri Oteri, and Will Sasso.
