I'm so happy the show has been renewed! I love Janelle James. That scene when she sits in the chair and falls back out of it and my favorite line so far , "Sweet baby jesus and the grown one too!" I had no idea that was an ad lib and it's even funnier now knowing that!
I'm a retired public elementary school teacher (after 40 years) and I love Abbott Elementary!!! And so does my 87 year old mother who is a retired elementary school TA. So, we can totally relate. My daughter who worked for our local school district and my 16 years old grandson turned me on to this show. I just love, Love, LOVE it!!!❤❤❤
I don't know why, but this comment got me in my feelings. That's just so sweet. I come from a family of teachers as well and, for now, I'm a private one. Loving it.
It's so sweet to see Janelle Jones and how much respect and admiration she has for others. Principal Ava is an incredible character, one of the funniest I've seen in years.
She was still playing an incompetent person in the row giving zingers and saying crazy things, so I don’t think it would be like Moesha. However I think because Janelle is a comedian that role as a principal is funnier because she’s putting a little bit of her comedic timing into it. Sheryl Lee Ralph does well at playing the grounding character who is traditional and set in her ways especially since she is a Jamaican descent. Quinta casted them based on their strengths and I think she did a phenomenal job because the chemistry that her character has with each of them is perfect based on who is playing the roles.
@@musickfreek I believe that Ralph would have done a great job. She could have played the role as a Blanche Devereaux type. More delusional than silly.
@@BlackNerdist the magic of the show is partly because everyone is casted appropriately. The Blanche Devereaux vibe wasn’t Quinta’s vision for the character. The casting has to match the vision. The writing is based on how the character is originally conceived. Now sometimes actors take a character to another level. But I can’t imagine Sheryl being as comedic as a Rue McClanahan nor as a Janelle James. Sheryl is better at playing characters that have comedic moments here and there as opposed to playing comedic characters.
Well the principal in "Abbot Elementary" is very different from the principal she played in "Moesha". That's probably why she wanted to do it. Also when "Moesha" started I think she was a teacher and was eventually promoted to principal.
I love how this show caters to the humor side of the audience but also focuses on the theme of teaching and the struggles of teaching. I’m sure a lot of people can relate whether a student, teacher, etc. It’s such a heartwarming show that throws in comedy. Just brings me overall joy. Can’t wait for 10+ seasons.
It was great seeing them this morning, it was such a surprise! Been jonesing for Abbott so I've been watching season 1 over and over and it's still so funny🤣
We saw 19 year old Ms. Ralph in the Piece of the Action in the theater and she was wonderful as a student. Mr. Sidney Poitier hired Ms. Ralph for the part in the movie he directed. We love Abbott Elem. and we're looking forward to the new season of the show.
Mrs Howard was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher! Mrs Mcclendon had such a good 1st grade class that she went to the principal and asked if she could teach (some of us) two years in a row. Definitely one of the most unforgettable teachers!
It's interesting that Sheryly mentioned her role on "A Piece of the Actio"n where she played a hardened inner city student. Because when I see her playing a teacher in this (and also in Moesha), I think back on that role where she started. Epic 360.
OR-RI-EN-TATION!!! 💜😄 Liiiiiiiiiisen. I've been waiting for Sheryl or somebody to mention A Piece of the Action BECAUSE that's the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw the promo and the pilot episode. One of my favorite movies!... This show, the writing, the humor, the fun, the entire ensemble... 🤌🏾😍 Thank You!!!
It's the kind of show I'll watch forever because I literally miss them. They're all brilliant but Janelle James as Ava is my absolute favorite character
I Love Love Love *ABBOTT ELEMENTARY* and the entire group of Misfits😁 are definitely TV cast -magic and its giving me, that mixture of some other well loved tv series we all know had that SPECIAL effect, @ Quinta..applause, applause, applause, shout out to Principal Ava😂😂😂, gurlfriend is my kinda girl, High Functioning ...down low Crazzzee😂!
This is so true and I actually was working at a school where the director was yelling at students. She also took off every Friday. Seriously, how does she actually exist and work with children?
Janelle is one of the funniest women on the planet. I’m glad she’s finally getting her shine!
I agree 100%!!! She’s sooo funny!
Ava's a hot mess. I'm glad she's not my boss.
THAT PART
I love her. Can never forget, 'I heard zombies eat the hotties first, lemme back my tasty a$$ up' 😁😂😁
Funniest people
“SWEET BABY JESUS AND THE GROWN ONE TOO! My desks have been desked” is an insane line and an insane delivery, Sheryl Lee Ralph ATE

Mine too!!! 🤣😂
Janelle is soo funny and Sheryl Lee Ralph is a great actress! This show is wonderful!!
I extra loved it because she was like "lemme me sit down" and then she falls right out of that seat laughing.
@@roc2588 “somebody get me a chair” 😂😂😂

Sherly Lee Ralph as the principal would be too much of a Moesha vibes.. Qunita gave her the better role as the Teacher...love this show

I love this show and I really do love both of these characters, but for very different reasons. Sheryl Lee Ralph is an icon.
I am going through Abbott withdrawal. I ❤️ Janelle and Sheryl. So many amazing teachers living through Mrs. Howard.
And now they're both Emmy nominated 🥺🥺🥺
Winners*❤️
Janelle was nominated? I didn't even know SHE SHOULD'VE WON
I used to work in an unfunded inner-city school, so this show REALLY hits home. BRAVO!
All this melanin on my screen🥰🥰🥰
YESSSSSS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS I love my ppl😍😍😍😍😍🍫🙌🏿
Everyone was good but Janelle, Janelle got me EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!
I love the fact that Ava's laugh when she falls out of the chair is Janelle's real laugh
Agreed!!!
‘Abbott Elementary’ is an instant classic! Stellar cast, funny writing, great characters 😊
The ladies look fabulous! Janelle's dress is pretty perfect on her!
The colors are amazing on them.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🍫🤤😋
Such a powerful story from Sheryl Lee re: what Sidney told her. I'm so glad she persevered and landed this amazing role on Abbott Elementary. 🙌
I love how you call them on a first name basis. We see you, Mary. You know peeps...

One of my favorite lines is Ava (Janelle) saying the zombies will "soon come"

Best show ever created.
Janelle is the principal through and through
Also is Sheryl Lee Ralph a vampire? She looks incredibly young.
She's has Beautiful Dimples, Ageless, Classy and Flawless at 65 Years Young!
This is so true and I actually was working at a school where the director was yelling at students. She also took off every Friday. Seriously, how does she actually exist and work with children?
She is the coolest principal
Love this show, my daughter Mariah Escobar can create a jingle for this amazing show!!!!

That Sydney poitier bit got me choked up😢
Amo minha escola

The principal is funny
