Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James are really the two comedic powerhouses of 'Abbott Elementary' and for very different reasons.
have been duking it out in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series categories. It’s impossible to root for one over the other. While Ralph has won most of the awards for her portrayal of earnest and determined Barbara Howard, James has become the underdog—a title her standoffish Principal Ava Coleman would never accept., “The Fundraiser,” we get to witness Ralph and James throwing down over chocolate bars.
But these two are really the comedic powerhouses of the show, for very different reasons. Barbara strikes unapproving glares at every mishap in the school. Ava creates the situations deserving of unapproving glares. Barbara has made her stance on Principal Coleman very clear—she doesn’t respect her or see her as a boss—but in this most recent episode, we get a new side of their dynamic.
Barbara grinds away on a fundraiser with the Abbott students, in an attempt to raise enough money to take them all on a big science field trip, but $1 candy bars aren’t cutting it. The students struggle to convince buyers on the street; under the caring guidance of Barbara Howard, they bore potential investors to sleep before getting any dough.
All hope is lost after the students can’t sell more than a couple thousand dollars worth of chocolate, not nearly enough to make it to the science museum. Luckily, Ava swoops in with a quick fix: She’s an entrepreneur , so she’ll train the kids to sell more candy bars and get them to the museum. Barbara hesitates. She doesn’t trust Ava.And she’s right not to, because within minutes of her training, Ava is already teaching the kids questionable business practices.
The banter between Barbara and Ava works perfectly. We’ve seen Ava swindle her way through an Abbott Elementary version of, but we’ve also seen Barbara advocate for her students’ well being every step of the way—what happens when a master business woman and a dedicated schoolteacher team up for the kids, even though they hate each other? Pandemonium, that’s what.fanbase was equally excited about these two pairing up, also shouting out the return of Courtney, Ava’s mini-me.
