Abbott Elementary is perfect for those who love The Office and Parks and Rec.

As a former teacher, it is so funny but also so real.

As a current elementary teacher, it's not funny and totally not real at all. The amount of times they randomly walk out of a class to have 30 minute discussions NEVER happens in real life.

You know, I've tried that show a couple times. Recorded it, watched 2-3 episodes...laughed maybe once total. I just don't find it funny, and I thought Office and Parks and Rec were great.

I'm the opposite. I love Abbott, but couldn't get into the office. Never watched parks and rec though

If you can stomach the first season of P&R, you can try Abott some more lol. Latest season is even better than the last

But alas, comedy is different for everyone.

The latter two shows are in my top three and I started watching Abbott. It’s hysterical and I agree with you. Funny enough my spouse’s first comment was, “This is The Office and P&R” when they sat down to watch it with me.
