Abbott Elementary
Cast & Crew
Matt Roush says...
“I have never seen evil like this, and I have been to a Cowboys home game,” mutters the most combative of Abbott’s teachers, Melissa Schemmenti (the terrific Lisa Ann Walter), when she and her fellow teachers cross paths with the arrogant staff of a rival school while on a field trip outing to a public park. Even slow-to-anger Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph) gets caught up in the conflict, which reduces the adults to the level of kids playing schoolyard games. The only ones oblivious to the heated competition are Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams), who are still working out their complicated feelings on swing sets and slides.
