Abbott Elementary fans! What did you think of the crossover episode with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia last week? It honestly was so iconic and amusing, I hope you all enjoyed it too. Whether you watch Sunny or not. The much more mature series is not for everyone, so just a warning if you want to go check it out now.
Plus it's great that the Abbott staff is going to be visiting their side of things as well when It's Always Sunny season 17 premieres sometime in 2025. But anyway, let's focus on tonight's episode of our favorite comedy. And it's actually going to be on a little later than usual.
Abbott Elementary season 4 episode 10, "Testing," premieres tonight, Jan. 15, 2025, at 8:50 p.m. ET on ABC. This is about 20 minutes later than the usual air time. So why is that the case? It's because U.S. President Joe Biden's farewell address will be broadcast starting at 8 p.m. ET. We shared the release times for the ABC sitcom below:
- East coast: 8:50 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 15
- West coast: 5:50 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Jan. 15
- Midwest: 7:50 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Jan. 15
- Mountain: 6:50 p.m. MT on Wednesday, Jan. 15
So because of this, there's a slight shift in the schedule with all the Wednesday night shows airing a little later than their normal time slot. Though don't worry. It's just an exception this week, then we'll go back to Abbott's 8:30 p.m. ET regular time slot next week. You do also have the option to stream the episode the following day on Thursday when Hulu adds the installment at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET.
So what's in store for our favorite school staff? In Abbott Elementary season 4 episode 10, "Testing," Janine needs to pivot from the way she's been teaching her class and make some changes when her first graders perform "poorly on a practice test," per the synopsis. Elsewhere, Jacob is having a hard time connecting with a "disinterested student."
Plus, Mr. Johnson has a new custodian coming to learn the ropes from him. We know that Mr. Johnson takes his job very seriously, and I have a feeling he'll be a good teacher. The question is whether the new custodian will be just as serious.
Surprisingly, ABC has not released a promo or even promotional images from the episode ahead of time. Though that's ok. We only need to wait a few more hours to see what's in store for everyone!
