The premiere episode proves that Abbott Elementary's writers' room is top-notch in Hollywood!  It’s seriously non-stop comedy– each joke smoothly segues into the next; generating unforgettable moments one after the other without skipping a beat; the show is just consistently laugh-out-loud funny, demonstrating just why those behind the cameras create truly impressive comedy! Each scene is incredibly impressive, such as that legendary bit where Ava (Janelle James) mistakes Abbott’s first white student for a ghost or when Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis) reports Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) for "flirting"—these were legendary and memorable scenes, generating laughter and memorable imagery for audiences across America! This non-stop humor also totally outshines Season 3’s overall weaker plots; making for that highly valued improvement which truly delivers great comedy that might never be matched!

That’s not all! Every cast member shines. Yet there isn’t an overstuffed feeling, which is easy to happen when dealing with several individual plots. Each actor got their time. It's fantastic to see how creative the entire show really is. And those interrogations over Janine’s keys? And those bribes from the golf course lawyer? Absolutely priceless and iconic moments for this show alone. The laughter never stops! And this hilarious opening totally establishes the overall level and quality that is soon to be matched throughout the whole show!

Fans know that painful storyline from season 3! Janine rejected Gregory at the beginning but then changed her mind – only to discover he moved on! They then spent the whole season in that agonising, will-they/won't-they? Season 4? That finally ends–those first few moments of "Back to School" are surprisingly a setup, only teasing a return to that frustrating, drawn-out dynamic, before giving fans some confirmation that their worries and concerns surrounding that dynamic would not appear again and is cleverly resolved through a surprisingly light and quickly dealt-with joke; showcasing the clever writing found in Abbott Elementary! The creators knew just how annoying that previous story was!

This approach adds tension early.  After this initial build-up and potential tease regarding the relationship the premiere cuts straight to confirming they're now a couple; showcasing that clever way this team plays around with the format; not unnecessarily dragging that much-anticipated and already-decided story development – improving the show tremendously.
