ABBOTT ELEMENTARY showcased a fun, insightful look at what teachers might do for the good of their students. The episode bounced back and forth between CLASS PETS and computers. “Sometimes you have to shoot for the moon, and if you miss, you land on a star.”
It was Melissa’s (Lisa Ann Walter) time to shine with her lightning-fast talk. The writers highlighted another side to this Jersey girl. Her timing was impeccable, and her sarcastic, caustic tone hit the nail on the head perfectly. Everyone should be able to experience Sweet Cheeks.
What struck me was how the ensemble’s characters are not always aware of what is staring right in front of them. This is the strength of ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, which allows audiences to view their vulnerabilities lovingly and humorously. It is inspiring and very human.
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY is a class act series. It is changing the masked faces of teachers everywhere and streaming on ABC.
