Sh*t You Should Be Watching: Abbott Elementary

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Special guest Candi returns to the podcast
this week to discuss the delightful ABC sitcom, Abbott
Elementary.  The main discussion focuses on episodes 1 and
2.  For those of you who like nice things and have watched
the entire season, we have a spoiler section at the end where we
discuss highlights from the entire season. 

We kick off the discussion by sharing what drew us to the
show.  After a recap of episodes 1 and 2, we break down the
pilot and share our thoughts on the show's premise and how well
the pilot did at introducing us to this fun cast of characters at
this fictional West Philadelphia school.  Next, we discuss
episode 2 and then share whether there was anything we did not
like about our introduction to Abbott Elementary.

As we did with Grand Crew, we talk about which characters we
identify with from the Abbott Elementary cast and which ones we'd
like to take a piece from and incorporate into our lives. 
We talk about what separates Abbott Elementary from other
workplace sitcoms and share some of our favorite entries from the
genre.  We also talk about Abbott Elementary's mockumentary
style and touch on other school-based shows that we
enjoyed.

We share our favorite Abbott Elementary teacher, standout
characters, and favorite Philly moments from the show.  Of
course we would never let an episode go by without getting a
little thirsty, so we share which Abbott Elementary character
we'd like to get some private lessons from.

We truly believe in this show and want to encourage you to watch
it.  In fact, Candi is so passionate about the show that she
shares a rap she wrote about why you need Abbott Elementary in
your life.  A very fun podcast first!
