Season 1 Ratings & Reviews

  • MeghannBFebruary 4, 2025
    Wholesome family comedy series that still keeps a bit of an edge. Really smart writing, great cast. Sometimes it's nice to sit down with the fam and watch something easy and light. The show highlights important issues without making it feel forced, and has prompted my 10 year old and 13 year old to ask thoughtful questions during and after the show as a result. We are always excited when there's a new episode of Abbott ready to watch!
