Abbott Elementary

I’m a big fan of the show, but this week’s ep seemed like they had already checked out. It felt like a Season 10 Modern Family “We’re just cashing checks now” stage. I hope they haven’t done a Fonzie jump, three episodes into S2.

Edited to add Vulture gave it 5 stars, so what do I know…

My wife and I really love the show but I will agree this season has not been as good as last season. I really can't stand the teacher's aide, she should have been fired first day. And I especially don't like the direction the principal is going. Doing side businesses instead of her job. It's lost something.

The aide is terrible. She was shitty on the last season of curb your enthusiasm too. I thought she was playing a character since her dad had to blackmail Larry to get her a part. No that's her bit, she's a way less talented Danny McBride.

Man, I tried. But this show just isn’t good. Just another of many bad ABC comedies.

I’d say it’s late season Modern Family level quality. The comparisons to The Office are very forced and based entirely on the mockumentary format. 
 

The Ringer guys LOVE the show. They’ve called it the best on TV. And I just don’t get it. I think critics are starved for excellent comedies. Abbott is decent to good in a landscape awash in shitty comedies.
