Shortly after Rachel Bloom won a Golden Globe for her performance on The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” earlier this week, a reporter commended her for showing a Filipino family at Thanksgiving. This is something that hadn’t been done on TV.
Bloom, in turn, said it was a no-brainer because the object of her character’s desire is Filipino and it mattered who his family is.
This kind of organic diversity should be the norm, but it’s not, and sadly it is the one thing sorely missing from the new TV Land comedy “Teachers.” This otherwise funny show, which debuts Wednesday night, follows six female teachers who comically corrupt their impressionable elementary-aged students with ill-conceived choices and actions.
