As a devoted fan who has been captivated by the wit and charm of Abbott Elementary since its debut, I can confidently say that this show has become a beacon of light in the often gloomy world of television comedy. With its fifth Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series and the cast’s recent celebration of their 50th episode, it’s clear that Abbott Elementary is not just another fish in the sea; it’s a whale, swimming gracefully amidst a sea of mediocrity.
Abbott Elementary is brimming with reasons to cheer as it gears up for its fourth season debut on the 2024 TV schedule. At present, it stands alone as the only comedy gracing ABC’s autumn roster. Moreover, it has been nominated for five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, and the cast recently commemorated the filming of their 50th episode in a special manner.
Given that Abbott Elementary is brimming with comedic talent, it’s completely appropriate that the commemoration of its 50th episode mirrored its humor. Sheryl Lee Ralph (popularly known as Barbara Howard, the cherished Kindergarten teacher) posted a video of the celebration on her social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). In the clip, the cast is seen gathered around a half-eaten cake that appears to be missing its other half. Here’s a peek:
Beyond the jab about reaching halfway to 100 with the half-cake, it’s worth noting that the dessert seems to have been initially adorned as a tribute to one of the most iconic sitcoms ever produced, “The Office,” and its milestone 100th episode. Given the numerous parallels fans have observed between the two series, both being overseen by the same producer, it’s fitting that the archetypal office mockumentary would be the one poked fun at in this instance by the “Abbott” cast.
As a devoted fan, I must admit that the source of the extraordinary cake design remains a bit of a mystery, but the sheer joy radiating in Ralph’s video suggests it was a smashing success! In Quinta Brunson’s delightful video, she’s beaming with pride and capturing the moment alongside her fellow stars, including Lisa Ann Walter who appears to be masterminding a group photo featuring us all around the cake, making it the star of the show.

Today, with many series ending after just one or two short seasons, achieving 50 episodes for Abbott Elementary is quite a significant milestone, and it’s worth acknowledging this accomplishment. It also implies that they are halfway to the remarkable landmark of 100 episodes, which brings benefits such as being eligible for syndicated reruns. In today’s streaming-dominated era, this might not seem like much, but it remains an impressive achievement for a comedy series that has successfully navigated through the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes as well as the ever-evolving television landscape.
In 2021, the television show Abbott Elementary gained significant popularity, receiving acclaim from both critics and viewers. Featuring humorous dialogues, outrageous situations, and an engaging will-they/won’t-they dynamic between Janine and Gregory, this comedy has achieved the almost unattainable. As a traditional network series, it secured a fourth season amidst a surge of popularity for hybrid comedies such as FX’s The Bear, which is predicted to excel at the Emmys.
Excitement is building for the upcoming fourth season of “Abbott,” which is expected to be its largest yet. This season will even feature a crossover episode with an as-yet unnamed series. Fans are eagerly awaiting the possibility of Janine and Gregory finally becoming a romantic item, considering their actions in the Season 3 finale hinted at such a development. Additionally, we can look forward to more of the school antics that we’ve grown accustomed to.
It’s reasonable to anticipate that we’ll enjoy the 50th episode too, possibly a significant one for the show. There’s a good chance this could be the long-awaited crossover event. Regardless of what happens, it seems certain to draw a lot of interest from both fans and critics.
We’re lucky that we won’t have to wait much longer before stepping back into Willard R. Abbott Elementary’s halls! The premiere of Season 4 will broadcast on ABC on Wednesday, October 9th at 9:30 p.m. ET. If you have a Hulu subscription, you can stream it the day after its airing.
