'Abbott Elementary' occupies a kind of last-man-standing position as the only broadcast series this year to receive series and acting nominations.
For creator-star Quinta Brunson, Janelle James, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lisa Ann Walter, the series lets teachers be human. And as a result, “teachers are feeling seen, which is one of the best things about the show.”In less than two years, “Abbott” has become a testament to a lot of things, including the tenacious survival of the longer-season sitcom. Format-wise, it’s not exactly groundbreaking — the mock-doc format has proved successful since “The Office.
“You have to hit that sweet spot of being interesting, in the zeitgeist, and a show that people want to write about, talk about and commune over,” says the “Abbott Elementary” creator and star. “I think that is harder on broadcast. But it can be done.”
