ABC's Schooled Gets Full Sophomore Year; Pop TV Rings in the New Year with Schitt's Creek
ABC has given a full-season order to Wednesday night comedy Schooled. The additional order brings the season total to 22 episodes for Schooled, the The Goldbergs spinoff, in its sophomore season on the network. The series is from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios. On the next episode of Schooled, "The Pokemon Society," Coach Mellor encourages Toby (guest star Mason McNulty) to be competitive in CB's Pokemon Club and becomes an overbearing sports-type father. Meanwhile, Lainey supplements her salary as a teacher by working at the local video store and learns an important lesson tonight, Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 8:30 p.m. EST on ABC.
Schooled, set in 1990-something, follows the hilarious faculty of William Penn Academy, led by music teacher and WP graduate Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka), Principal John Glascott (Tim Meadows), Coach Rick Mellor (Bryan Callen) and young, enthusiastic English teacher CB (Brett Dier). Despite their eccentricities and crazy personal lives, these teachers are heroes to their students.
