How Abbott Elementary Achieved Perfection During a Writers Strike 

“Black? It’s actually pronounced Zach” never gets old 😂

we should reframe our thinking. it was not that they had to adapt due to the writers' strike, but that they had to adapt due to studios like Disney/ABC refusing to pay writers for their labor

“Thats who runs the world kids.” most janitor thing ive ever heard.

Season 3 of Abbott has had a strong run of some of the best episodes. I would also recommend 'Smoking' where the staff struggle with the rules of what they can and cannot say to students and 'Willard R Abbott' where they try to find someone with the same name as the school who wouldn't be immediately cancelled, leading to Jacob pointing an accusing finger and yelling 'Where were you on January 6th?!'

Ava’s growth is what brought me great joy for this season!

I want to shake hands with whoever wrote that Fleabag joke.

“Girl who told you send an email?” “You did!?” Love how she sounds when she says that.

This show is just perfectly done and Tyler James Williams is one of my favorites loved him in Everybody Hates Chris and this show just showed how talented he is.

My wife started watching this during season 1 and it took me until season 3 to finally start watching. This show is so funny and the characters are so good

This episode did stand out to me but thank you for putting into words why it was so exceptionally good.

LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

It felt real good seeing Gregory embarrassing himself after his fumble of the decade😂

The new season has been non stop full of hilarious 😂 episodes with great character development. I’ve been sad because it’s been weeks since a new 🆕 episode.

I don’t want to bring negativity into a comment section that is generally filled with support for the show (which it deserves!!) but I feel like this season highlighted some negative parts of the storyline AND production of the show that I hope to see get resolved in the coming seasons. 1. The lack of transparency with episode releases was frustrating. If the show needed to meet a mid-May finale date then don’t start a 14 episode season in the beginning of February. Like? 2. Jeanine’s “district” plot line reinforces the stigma of climbing up out of the well and then pulling the ladder up with you. The writers showed us that no matter HOW good of an opportunity, the Abbott teachers are going to choose to stay at the bottom of the well with everyone else because that’s their family. This is an actual struggle that working class people feel when they start becoming successful and undermine their own success in order to try and take as many people that they love and care about with them. This should have never been a storyline on the show. You are allowed to put yourself first. 3. The celebrity guest stars cannot become a regular thing. It’s amazing how much reach this show has garnered in 3 seasons and I love it for the cast and crew, but it’s okay to say no. If there was a public school that had this many celebrity appearances in the real world it would be all over the news and Abbott wouldn’t be as poverty stricken as it currently is. It’s plot breaking. If a celebrity wants to make a cameo appearance maybe they should be able to act. I am open to critique on my opinions

This show just gets better and better, and I loved your analysis of this episode.

i like the awkward looks into the camera

"Abbott this is going to be another good one" - Me when I see Nerdstalgic post a video

Dr. Quinta Brunson is a comedic genius.

One of the best shows none of my friends will ever watch, sucks watching a new episode and having to talk about it to the walls and the voices in my head😭😭

Such an instant classic!

Great video.

Love this show

Happy this shows getting the love it deserves.

Abbott Elementary Season 3 is just very fantastic!

Love Abbott, need to talk about AP bio next.

3:59 oh my gooood, i didnt know Sabrina Wu was in abbot elementary!! Now i gotta watch it

oh my god i just now realized the fleabag joke

All time greatest sitcom

Amazing show

I love this show

Love this episode

Great show!!!

A vid about Abbot!!!

What is it with some of yall in the comments acting like nobody has even heard of the show along with its "mid" or sucks? Its fair if you dont like it. But stop with this hyperbolic nonsense. Its been winning all the Emmys and even my family, who dont watch tv or care at all about pop culture stuff are hyped on this show.

I must be watching this show

Agreed. Excellent episode

i like the show. This season had a lot of Celebrity guest stars which seems very forced

I see myself being into Abbott Middle

Should the title be best episode so far?

Painting Barbara as the "old, religious" teacher is an odd choice of description.

Never heard of this till now. For sure watching this! Cheers @nerdstalgic

I like watching this show with my mom. It’s cute

The beginning episodes and all the way up until the last few episodes, season 3 has definitely been the worst compared to the first 2 seasons

Did he say OLD??????

Fleafaff?

Jacob is the sixth grade teacher not eight grade. It’s an elementary school.

Did you call Sheryl Lee Ralph old?! I mean yes but please

As a former principal I hate this show

This isn't the best episode, at all. It is just beginning of an amazing improvement this show has had on the 3rd season. Every episode it just gets better and funnier!

Mr Johnson is amazing But the principal is the best

I really want to love this show. It has some decent elements, but I consistently find it just "whelming". I don't hate it, but I don't laugh a bunch, either.

too late

Definitely not their best episode. It’s one the episodes I completely forgot about until I saw someone make a video about it. Idk what their best episode is but this one is fine but mostly forgettable. Melissa and Janine’s storyline was just mean. When watching it for the first time I kinda zoned out during their parts cause it felt like they just needed something for those two to do. Also having Barb preform a religious song in a public school is questionable in levels of believablity as someone who is related to multiple teachers. I liked Ava’s progression, but almost everyone in this episode’s behavior was off putting the more I remember it. Maybe not Gregory and the janitor since I barely remember them in this

Szn 3 is so ass

As a white guy, I must ask. WTF is Abbott Elementary...?

I see everywhere this is the best sitcom, but how? I barely could watch season 1 and thenI dropped it. The comedy of this show looks a lot like The Office in seasons 8 and 9. The romance is so forced predictable. So, can you tell when this show gets good?

am i the only one who found this show annoying; actors over-acting, similar to nbcs american auto. cant belive speechless got cancelled and stuff like this, goldbergs and modern family just went on and on. hashtag ableism

Massively overrated show. Forced comedy, romance, dialogue.

Nobody watches tv. Like who tf watches tv?

I watched too many sitcoms and thought Superstore was the lowest among them until watched Abbott Elementary. I didn't enjoy any part of this show. But it's a good video for those who like it
