"Arrested Development" creator Mitchell Hurwitz is behind this wacky animated sitcom set in a small northeastern fishing town, where the eccentric high-school staff includes Sue Sezno, the acting principal who frequently, you know, says no; vice principal Stuart Prozackian, whose suspiciously upbeat personality under the circumstances may be chemically enhanced; Larry Slimp, an accomplished classroom instructor exiled to teaching gym; Miracle Grohe, the science teacher; Willard Deutschebog, the German teacher; Helen Klench, the uptight librarian; Andrew Sapien, the flamboyant drama teacher; Ennis Hofftard, a self-obsessed bodybuilder who wants his students to think he is cool; and Happy, the scheming custodian.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Scattershot and sophomoric despite its heavy-hitter pedigree, Sit Down, Shut Up feels like an absentminded doodle by otherwise talented artists.

Kelsey Wallace Bitch Media Despite some of its faults, I think SDSU is worth watching, and not just because I am still suffering from Arrested Development withdrawal symptoms. Dec 19, 2020 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail This new animated series gets the plum, post- Simpsons spot. From the evidence of the pilot, it's not certain if that prize is deserved. Sep 24, 2019 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News Okay, they sound appalling, perverse and disgusting here... But it feels less uncomfortable when the target is a toon. Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette There's something clever enough about the jokes, not to mention the speed at which they fly, that mutes the show's more gratuitous impulses. Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Jonah Krakow IGN Movies As long as the talented cast can continue to play to their strengths and the scripts can humorously tackle dicey subject matter, this should continue to be a very entertaining show. Rated: 8.7/10 Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Boston Herald Staff Boston Herald Disparate stories cross in amusing, unexpected ways. Somebody's clearly thinking. Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
