Abbott Elementary

Sep 22, 2022

The first two episodes, which is what ABC sent to critics, are equally as funny and heartwarming as the best of the show’s excellent first season.

There is always a question about whether you can match the high bar set by what preceded it. Not only is this show already on track to do so, but there is also the promising potential for it to even surpass what came before.

If you were a teacher you'd understand. Gags go over the top, sometimes, but they're never too far from real life.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite shows ever. Abbott Elementary is one of the best shows ( and the "revival") of the mockumentary genre. Great cast, funny storyline and a perfect representation of how modern public schools actually feel like. Overall, this is a great show and I highly recommend watching all 5 seasons (and hopefully more in the future).

It feels like they used the summer to balance out how the show’s writers tune their cast, allowing every supporting player just enough time to shine in both episodes. Of course, being only 15 episodes into a run makes it way too soon to discern this show’s place in comedy history, but it’s starting to feel more and more like “Abbott Elementary” will be a part of comedy class syllabi for years to come.

Abbott Elementary's two-part third-season premiere adapts to strike-related interruptions with a cleverly structured episode that subverts sitcom convention. A new character with a lot of potential and a big career change for Janine provide room for the already excellent show to continue to grow.

The first two episodes of the show’s second season continue its strong trajectory.

Teachers have acted as “admin, social workers, therapists, second parents” for decades. That the series can find even light comedy in this sobering truth is a credit to its writers, and represents a solid start for this promising series.

Watching it will definitely give you some painful 1960s and 1970s whiplash.

My new favorite show, held my attention, had so many great laughs and is definitely another comfort show. It's up there with The Office.

I honestly haven't laughed this hard watching a TV show in a very long time. There is great chemistry among most of the cast (with one glaring exception Chris Perfetti) and the writers can both tell a good story and pull off one liners mixed in throughout.

Wow! I never would have found this ____ show if Sunny had not have made a cameo! I have never seen a more racist unfunny POS tv show. It’s like the View wrote this BS. People actually watch this garbage??? The Sunny cast made it sort of watchable because I love everything Sunny in Philly but the cast of Abott honestly ruined their cameo. Good Lord Almighty this show is insufferable.
