Think of something you’re not good at. I’ll go first. Math. Never been good at math. Struggled with it in school back then, and to this day. That’s why I’m not a mathematician or an engineer. Which is why I might be one of the few people who are okayContinue Reading
Abbott Elementary had another winner this week, with Taraji P. Henson guest starring as Janine’s mom. Of course, she did a great job, and it felt like she had already been on the show a few times before. But there was some conversation over her casting, specifically as Janine’s mom.Continue Reading
Normally, these Abbott Elementary posts are feel good. The show is positive and funny, and has a couple of laughs a minute. Its one of the best programs on television at the moment. But the show is also real. They’ve brought up the lack of funding in schools and howContinue Reading
This week’s new Abbott Elementary was a laugh per minute gold mine. I’m just going to get out of the way and give you the best quotes we heard this week on “Festival”. Barbara: (on Draymond) “Every student is special. And you have to give them your best. And youContinue Reading

Abbott Elementary is one of the best shows on television. This week’s “Fire” episode was the best of the season (so far). But I want to talk about the first few minutes of the episode after the fire began. More specifically, Principal Ava jumping in her car and bolting, leavingContinue Reading
If it seems like I’m doing this every week, it’s because every week its warranted. Quinta Brunson managed to write both an outstanding Black History Month and Valentines Day episode in the space of 22 minutes. But I want to talk about the framing of this shot that is featuredContinue Reading
