Abbott Elementary Creator Quinta Brunson Responds To Notion That The ABC Show Helped Revive Interest In Network Sitcoms

0

Abbott Elementary has been making some serious noise since it made its network TV debut on ABC last December. The show has since received stellar ratings,  earned critical acclaim and dominated conversations across social media. The show has ABC’s biggest comedy since the network’s other mockumentary hit Modern Family ended in 2020 so, yeah, it’s pretty much been hitting on all cylinders. Some viewers and critics have even credited the series with reviving the network sitcom. That credit comes with serious pressure, which creator and star Quinta Brunson is well aware of, and the actress/writer/producer has addressed the fact that her comedy has been credited with such a feat.

The Abbott Elementary creator addressed the claims of her show reviving interest in network sitcoms while talking with Severance’s Adam Scott for Variety’s Actors on Actors. Scott, like many people, is a huge fan of the workplace comedy, revealing it’s the only show his family watches together. He mentioned the connection between the ABC comedy’s success and the revival of network comedies, points that Quinta Brunson felt were “too big” and “too much” for the show. When responding to the assumption, the star highlighted the other comedies that are ruling traditional television right now:

I do think that while ‘Abbott’ has been successful, which I’m super grateful for, people have been doing great work in the network space for a really long time. ‘Young Sheldon’ has been pulling in massive numbers — even their reruns do. There are the shows this season, like “Ghosts” on CBS, which is just a joyful, delightful show to watch, and ‘American Auto’ and ‘Grand Crew’ on NBC. It was a combined effort, and I think that ‘Abbott’ just feels like a great show for everyone to connect that narrative to. ‘Parks and Rec’ was that for me. I enjoyed having this thing that I could watch with friends and family that was easy. ‘Parks and Rec’ felt like a risk, where you almost couldn’t believe you were seeing this on network. ‘Parks,’ it was so beautifully written.
