Abbott Elementary

Abbott Elementary dominates network comedy with 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and three Emmy wins. Creator-star Quinta Brunson revived the workplace mockumentary through this hilarious series set in an underfunded Philadelphia public school. Its 11 Emmy nominations in season two outperforms #4 Dying for Sex's four nods, while its 0.8 Nielsen rating among 18-49s is 30% higher than the average network sitcom. The show's $2 million per-episode budget stretches further than typical comedies, delivering sharp writing and authentic performances. "Rolling Stone" proclaimed it "the best network sitcom in a decade" for its warm yet biting satire. Brunson's portrayal of dedicated teacher Janine Teagues anchors the show's universal appeal.
