"Abbott Elementary" producers cut an extensive Frank-Mr. Johnson backstory from "It's Always Sunny" crossover episode

The article from MSN discusses how the producers of "Abbott Elementary" had to cut an extensive backstory for the character Mr. Johnson, played by William Stanford Davis, from a crossover episode with "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." This backstory was intended to provide depth to Mr. Johnson's character, revealing his past as a Vietnam War veteran and his connection to Philadelphia. However, due to time constraints and the need to maintain the episode's pacing, much of this detailed narrative was omitted. The crossover episode still managed to include some elements of Mr. Johnson's history, but the full extent of his backstory was not explored as initially planned. This decision reflects the challenges of integrating rich character development within the constraints of a sitcom format, especially in a special crossover event.
