Abbott Elementary Redefines No Kid Left Behind

ABC's Abbott Elementary series, created by Quinta Brunson, has been this steady hit since the start of the new year. It brings a refreshing take on the mockumentary style of television. But there's something unique on this spin of the genre. In this video I break down just what the heart of Abbott Elementary is. #Abbottelementary #abc #quintabrunson

As someone who teaches at a Title 1 elementary school, this show speaks to me on the most fundamental level. Six seasons and movie, says I!

[@Mariamox]

Six seasons and a movie. I love this show. It is soo wacky and refreshing

[@itsmargi5076]

I knew about the creator, Quinta Brunson since Black Lady Sketch Show and I was waiting on this show but, I'm so proud that she is getting her kudos for it.

[@theklr]

It's definitely giving me Parks & Rec 2.0 in the best way. It's well written in being realistic without berating, and while still having the comedic tropes, they don't feel flat. I hope it maintains it's momentum, balance, and ratings.

[@supersonicbro]

As a Philly school counselor this show has been amazingly cathartic for me and I'm glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves!

[@funnypunisher4769]

I love this show, some folks recommend it to me, and now me and my mom watched abbott elementary :)

[@Mannof1000Thoughts]

Amen to that

[@LooseAsADEUCE]

I LOVE this show. I teach college and have a bunch of friends who teach K-12 and its wild how much we all can relate to it. It's a show I look forward to ever Tuesday. Between this and The Wonder Years ABC is kinda killing it.

[@neezv9224]

I really love this show ever since I’ve gotten into it, and I would rewatch the clips and the show over a thousand times because it’s THAT GOOD! I really like when they have the interview moments where it gets you into the show to see what’s going on! The moments are very genuine💛

[@_dahtruthTV]

It’s definitely a wholesome shoe, I watch it with a beer and a blunt! Always have me 😂😂😂 no 🧢

[@Mannof1000Thoughts]

Mos def

[@umphguy]

As someone who was literally a middle school teacher in Philly for a year I can't believe this show wasn't on my radar. Def gonna give it a watch.
Also nice intro dude!

[@Mannof1000Thoughts]

Abbot Elementary certainly brings the laughs but is also able to bring the heart. What are your thoughts on Abbot Elementary?

[@CleverCover05]

This looks like fun. I loved her in Laserwulf. I'll check it out.

[@millsgurl8358]

So nice to see a show with more than 1 black ppl (and 3 monoracial women in the lead )in it and that's not about black trauma.

[@Mannof1000Thoughts]

God I’m so happy it’s not about black trauma.

[@bensongibbons9576]

"Monoracial" just say black LMAO

[@TwisterTH]

Never heard about this show, but interested to hear your thoughts about it.
Also, that electro swing song at the intro, duuuude! 🎶

[@Mannof1000Thoughts]

Thank you

I like this show and so does my mom. Just realized the one dude was the kid from Everyone Hates Chris.

[@BRBgottaderp]

Bro her boyfriend is Zack Fox. This is gonna be good.

[@lanzinator4734]

Barb for principal!!! Great video.

[@Mathue360]

I was interested in this show because it's based in Philly with black actors and feels like a (hollywood) Philly neighborhood. It's also funny too.

[@MrStyro]

The finale of Kid Cosmic just got released. Will you be able to review it?

[@shalbec3232]
