Miller, Peter Stormare and Michael Madsen. The series launch on Thursday, Feb 11 immediately follows the season 5 premiere of hit series Impractical Jokers.

ABOUT THOSE WHO CAN'T Those Who Can't is truTV's first foray into full-length scripted comedy. The half-hour comedy follows three trouble-making 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. Joining them is Maria Thayer (Eagleheart) the school librarian with an insuppressible passion for life.

Beginning February 1, fans can get a sneak peek of two episodes of the series at truTV.com and the series premiere is also available now on iTunes and Video on Demand.

Guest stars include Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Crazy Ones), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley), Peter Stormare (Fargo, The Big Lebowski) and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs).

Dean Lorey (Arrested Development) is the show runner and an executive producer. Also serving as executive producers on Those Who Can't are Tracey Baird (Flight of the Conchords) and Krysia Plonka (Billy On The Street) of Thank You, Brain! Productions; Michael Rotenberg and Josh Lieberman of 3 Arts Entertainment; and Richard Korson.

The series premiere of Those Who Can't immediately follows the season 5 premiere of truTV's hit series Impractical Jokers, which kicks off Thursday, February 11 at 10:00pm ET/PT.
