    [Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Abbott Elementary, Season 4 Episode 9, “Volunteers,” streaming on Hulu.]

    The TV crossover is one among tv’s most fascinating and humorous traditions. It doesn’t essentially result in Emmy-winning content material, but it surely does create an occasion that additionally treats followers of 1 or each reveals concerned to an entire new perspective on their favorites. And that’s precisely what we acquired when The Gang from It’s At all times Sunny in Philadelphia paid a go to to Abbott Elementary within the episode “Volunteers.”

    The genesis for the concept got here from Sunny creator Rob McElhenney and Abbott creator Quinta Brunson connecting on the Emmys just a few years in the past; an concept enabled by the truth that each reveals are set within the metropolis of Philadelphia, whereas additionally taking pictures in Los Angeles. Sunny additionally occurred to be in manufacturing on its upcoming seventeenth season from October to December 2024, that means the solid was already assembled and able to pay a visit to Janine and Ava’s neighborhood.

    The looks of The Gang isn’t a single-scene cameo, like Bradley Cooper popping by for a chilly open final season; your entire episode could be very a lot constructed round Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Candy Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) hanging out with the employees for a whole week, working as volunteers to make the college higher. (That their volunteer work is court-ordered, because of offscreen shenanigans, hardly comes as a shock.)

    As Abbott usually does, the episode splits into a number of storylines, because the casts from each reveals pair off: Ava (Janelle James) claims Mac as her private gopher, Frank groups up with Gregory (Tyler James Williams) and Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis) to struggle off raccoons within the backyard, and Dennis does his finest to keep away from the documentary cameras as a lot as attainable. In the meantime, Dee and Janine (Brunson) hit it off till Dee begins to lust after Gregory, and Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph) and Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) educate Charlie to learn at a kindergarten degree.

    Practically doubling the scale of the present’s typical ensemble signifies that there’s rather a lot occurring, and all of it occurs fairly quick. The deepest storyline in all probability belongs to Charlie’s newly-attained literacy, if solely as a result of it affirms that the employees of Abbott Elementary are the truest kind of academics, incapable of standing by once they see somebody battle to study.

    For these acquainted with Sunny, watching The Gang’s antics by way of a broadcast TV lens was fairly fascinating — for newcomers to the FX comedy sequence, it may be a bit extra complicated. The episode operates underneath the belief that you just already know who the Sunny characters are, dropping in each apparent in addition to deep-cut references to the long-running however nonetheless area of interest sequence.

    Basically, crossovers differ in impressiveness based mostly on the disparity between the reveals concerned. For instance, when characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer confirmed up on Angel, that wasn’t essentially an enormous deal, as a result of Angel was a by-product that includes characters initially launched on Buffy. And at this level, it’s virtually commonplace when NBC’s household of Chicago sequence semi-regularly discover a approach to deliver collectively the firefighters and cops and docs who all reside in the identical metropolis.

    By comparability, Abbott and Sunny would possibly happen in numerous cities however are fairly totally different reveals — produced for various networks (albeit inside the identical company household) and with very totally different vibes, to not point out meant audiences.

    It’s a pairing that’s been a bit brain-melting because it was first introduced — although to be clear, the Abbott/Sunny crossover is not essentially the most ridiculous crossover in fashionable TV historical past. That honor stays firmly devoted to the time that characters from the Fox sequence Sleepy Hole, a supernatural drama, paid a go to to the very non-supernatural crime-solvers on Bones. At the very least Abbott and Sunny technically each belong to the identical style, you understand?

    Abbott Elementary (ABC)

    “Volunteers” isn’t an ideal meshing of the 2 sequence, but it surely works fairly nicely. For one factor, crossing over with Abbott brings out some latent sweetness from the Sunny gang — nonetheless short-lived it may be. In the meantime, we uncover that Abbott, as a lot because it’s beloved for its good coronary heart and charming characters, isn’t as pure-of-heart as one would possibly assume. It was definitely a bit of weird to observe these characters meet, however the proprietors of Paddy’s Pub introduced out extra of this present’s internal dirtbag, as these characters linked past superficial bonds like “Have you ever ever gotten right into a struggle at an Eagles recreation?”

    Sure, Melissa may need known as out Paddy’s for being trash, but it surely’s straightforward to think about her slinging again just a few beers there — and Ava’s lack of scruples end up to mesh properly with Mac’s personal amorality. Who is aware of? If Dee had pushed her a lot additional, it’s straightforward to think about Janine’s internal wildcat popping out to guard her relationship. All of it factors to the wealthy layers which have made Abbott such a comedy powerhouse, one which continues to evolve season by season.

    What’s most fun is that that is simply half one of many enjoyable: The occasions of “Volunteers” will probably be seen from a unique perspective in an episode of the upcoming season of Sunny, set to premiere someday in 2025. Whereas Brunson advised Rolling Stone that she’s discouraging Abbott followers who don’t already watch Sunny from tuning in, that episode will notably function the Abbott characters exterior of the confines of the mockumentary format. Which suggests, theoretically, we get to see Barbara minimize unfastened.

    It seems like been too lengthy since two reveals have tried a stunt as enjoyably daring as this, and hopefully we see extra of it down the road. TV will be so many issues, however one thing we’d like proper now could be enjoyable.

    Abbott Elementary airs Wednesdays on ABC and is streaming on Hulu — as is It’s At all times Sunny in Philadelphia.
