Imagine “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s” Dennis Reynolds as an honors biology teacher in high school. That’s the basic premise behind NBC’s “A.P. Bio,” which has been firmly greenlighted to series.

Glenn Howerton stars as Jack, a philosophy scholar who goes to work as a high school Advanced Placement biology teacher after he loses out on his dream job. Soon he decides, instead of actually teaching any biology, to use the honor roll students to his own benefit.
