ABC truly struck gold withAbbott Elementary, and Im starting to fear Im abusing the five-star rating.
But it really isthatgood.
Its the kind of show that ignites watercooler conversation and attracts so many different types of viewers.
Its also something that bridges the generational divide that seems to be only widening these days.
Abbottis interesting because of the audience it seems to bring back to data pipe [TV], shesaid.
I cant put my finger on it.
Some people just say millennials, but its not.
This dynamic produces great banter and sneaks in some lessons that members of both generations can learn from.
Janine tries to put a positive spin on it, saying that increased peeing means increased hydration.
Reluctantly, she allows it … for emergencies only.
She kicks them out, proclaiming that her students shouldnt have to suffer because of Janines juice mistake.
(Whatis he doing in there?)
Barbara walks in on Janine, Gregory, and the students and tells them off for disrespecting her wishes.
By only hearing the answer, shes unable to solve the problem.
Barbara replies that she actually didnt, making them both stop and think.
Then Barbara gets an idea and proclaims, Janine, now is when you fix something.

Well, an office hour.
(I loved it, personally.)
Ashleys personality is so obnoxious shes been an aide at four schools over the course of four months.
Shes completely unhelpful; her goofiness distracts the students and she completely disregards her to-do list.
Melissa asks Ava to intervene, and Ava agrees to monitor the class to help out.
Ashley said she got it from the Depop account @AvaFlaaaaaaaaaav, which was Avas account.
The two immediately hit it off, and Ava declares Ashley her mini-me.
Ashley starts assisting Ava with auctioning her clothes, further irritating Melissa.
So when Ashley starts to lead the class in pounding the beat to Grindin by Clipse, a.k.a.
I love the students so much on this show.
The little boy who kept clogging up the bathroom was too cute.
Barbara yelling at Janine and Gregory made me sit a little straighter myself.
Theres a period at the end of each of my sentences.
Johnson:Until reinforcements arrive, everyone has to use the upstairs bathrooms.
And I pray to the Mario Brothers they hold.
