Abbott Elementary

This is like the Office or Brooklyn 99 but with an elementary school as the primary focus. Abbott Elementary is really not that far off from reality, but with a jolt of comedy and wholesome moments thrown in. I find myself very connected to this show given that I am a teacher. I really hope this show goes on for a long time.

A great, funny pilot. As a teacher, I have experienced these classic scenarios . Love the single camera action like Parks and Recreation. Good casting. I hope it gets picked up for a season. I need a good laugh.

It takes an episode or two to warm up but I promise you, this show is smart and funny. If you loved The Office or Parks and Rec, this one is definitely for you. And can I take a second to give Mrs. SLR her flowers? My gosh she is still absolutely stunning and obviously very talented. I look forward to each new episode. Please don't cancel this show.

It's a serviceable pilot to set up the series with a likable lead in Quinta Brunson's Janine Teagues. Brunson is also the show's creator and penned the pilot. Particularly liked the joke about "Baby Shark" being the "Back That Azz Up" for young children. Look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

I worked in an inner city pubic school .... where the awesome principal retired and his replacement was a board member's niece. And Ava is an improvement on her!! Totally cracked me up. I also remember dealing with council members AND the news media because of her antics, among other things. Yep. She was a pip!! AND!! As beautiful as Ava!

How I missed this when it was on ABC, I don't know. But I will NOT miss it again. However, binging the first season was a total treat since I got to see the smooth arc of all the teachers and staff, and their significant others.

And they are brilliant! That includes the kids, of course!!! Where would this show be without those brilliant little actors!?

This is a treat and a feast, all in one. THANK YOU to everyone who is involved. MORE SEASONS PLEASE!!
