Think it had two seasons, not sure if going to return for more or if it's done.
I watched it, but I much, much prefer the novel it's based on, Straight Man by Richard Russo. The show does capture part of the insanity of an English department.
I've been both the English department chair and a dean, so I've seen my share of insanity. We had 54 full time faculty and over a hundred adjuncts when I was chair. When I was the dean (twice), we had around 150 full time faculty and 300 or so adjuncts in the division.
Hank was lucky. He only had to deal with a handful of faculty.
