Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not seen “Zoo Balloon,” Episode 13 of “Abbott Elementary.”
Like his “Abbott Elementary” character Gregory Eddie, Tyler James Williams is a bit nerdy.
Gregory, as a result of his father’s indoctrination, has an encyclopedic knowledge of gardening tactics. He struggles to express himself, making interior design faux pas in his classroom until fellow teacher Janine (series creator Quinta Brunson) steps in to help. He’s a picky eater who hates pizza, and often spends his lunch hour eating a sandwich alone in his car, even though his colleagues welcome his company.
Williams’ nerdiness, rather, centers network television. He’s developed specific goals about the kinds of characters he’d like to bring to primetime, unironically uses the phrase “industry Iq” and knows more than most about the nitty gritty of the ratings systems that often dictate a show’s fate — which has come in handy lately.
