Trailer

The trailer is short but as usual matches the energy of its first two seasons with its nonchalant and '30 Rock' like comedy. Howertown and Oswalt take center stage in the trailer, as it does in the series itself and their lack of knowledge on how to properly run a school or teach advanced classes make for a hilarious binge-watching session.
