Shows like 'Abbott Elementary' are leading the TV renaissance.
In Abbott Elementary's case, it was good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. In a pandemic that's deprived us all of the break-room watercooler, this ABC sitcom about an idealistic young teacher at a Philadelphia public school has enjoyed break-room-watercooler buzz, albeit virtually. It's got jokes, it's got heart (not too much!), and it's got a breakout character in Janelle James' Principal Ava Coleman, whom I would follow unto the end of earth.
