Abbott Elementary had the buzziest debut for a comedy in recent memory, winning viewers over with its charming documentary-style depiction of staff working at an elementary school in Philadelphia. But what captured our attention was the obvious chemistry between two teachers, bubbly Janine and a stoic new substitute teacher named Gregory. Jennifer educates Heather on their appeal and why she should head back to school for this grumpy/sunshine duo.
