"What's unique is that she's bad at her job." ABC please don't FUMBLE this show. You have something special on your hands with this one.

"knowing there's not much you can do, Ava" "so understanding" LMFAO

Principal Ava is the most accurate character I've ever seen. The actor is nailing every aspect of the role. She cares about the students and staff deep down tho🤣

“No press is bad press, Barb. Look at Mel Gibson, still thriving!” Amazing

[recklessabandon]

LMAO. Ava is the new Michael Scott. Incompetent principal and still getting away with it.

“Do you want to split your check with somebody else?” 😂

Man, I’m a teacher at an underfunded school and this show is just 👌👌👌

[writeonn]

Ava actually manages to make me laugh out loud

[denko]

Absolutely loved the premiere! This show has so much potential. Loving the cast and their chemistry!

Sheryl Lee Ralph is a legend, but if she says anything with authority I can’t help but think “singing does not put food on the table!”

I love that Quinta put her friends on I remember her & the white girl with the yellow sweater from Buzzfeed 🥺

As a teacher, this is so accurate. There are incompetent administrators who manage to get promoted and…Ava is it

[jenthejen]

janelle james is a great stand up comedian, so cool to see her with quinta!

[mvelez]

Working at a school… this hits home. Love the older teacher literally have a few “seasoned” coworkers just like her

[DBlockn]

lmao my #1 show this year, hilarious and Ava is too much, especially when she looks in the camera after she says something snarky always cracks me up

[bila]

What’s unique is that she’s bad at her job😂. Perfectly casted white woman for this role. Pure embodiment of how teachers really feel lmaoo

[ericjohnson]

Damn that just about a accurate description of most management in America. Excuse, deflect, deny and my favorite get a seasoned employee to try to validate your ineptitude and incompetence. 💯

[GETOSUPASTAR]

I haven’t seen a character that literally made me LOL every time she comes on screen since Sue on #Glee. Please give her ALL #Emmys now… 🤗

[chisomagbara]

I’m really looking forward to this, after watching the premiere episode on Hulu I was looking for more then I realized “oh”. This is one show I’m actually looking forward to

[dopepumpkin]

I love this show! I swear I was watching a teacher version of "The Office". THIS IS MY SHOW PREDICTING 10+ Takes me back to my school years 💯
