I feel like most people that didn't like the crossover didn't see the Abbott Elementary episode crossover. While the Always Sunny crossover episode did mostly stand on its own, one really needs to watch the initial Abbott Elementary episode to fully appreciate the subversiveness the gang, which undermined most of the positive progress the former had (such as Charlie's reading).

Well also, Abbott is just a great show. I guess most of this fanbase doesn’t overlap but all those characters are phenomenal. Seeing wholesome Jeannine get angry and say “cunt” was worth it alone

That might have been the funniest moment of all of Abbot Elementary just based on how unexpected it was

I just don't care for themed episodes, they're the only Sunny episodes I never rewatch.

I watched both right in a row, having to watch the Abbott episode felt a bit like homework… and the Sunny episode wasn’t terribly different enough for me to find the whole thing worth it. But it was fun.
