SUPERSTORE

Season 2, Episode 7 – In Superstore’s very first Halloween episode, Dina takes on the case of the missing fruit crate, putting a damper on the holiday by interrogating her fellow employees.

Season 2, Episode 6 – In a rare misstep for a great show, Superstore gives us an average episode that demonstrates just how much this workplace comedy owes The Office. Cloud Nine hosts a dog adoption day, while Amy and Glenn help Cheyenne and Beau with their relationship.

Season 2, Episode 5 – In another hilarious episode, the Cloud Nine staff learn that their beloved spokesman Kyle the Cloud is a crazed cannibal, prompting Glenn to drug test the employees, as he’s convinced marijuana made Kyle do it.

Season 2, Episode 4 – Superstore delivers another hilarious episode as Jonah is forced to work the gun counter despite his objections to guns, Glenn buys all the morning after pills in the store, and Garret, Dina, and Matteo deal with an intruding crow.

Season 2, Episode 3 – The added pressure of a visiting district manager provides for some hilarious situations on Superstore, as Glenn tries to act tough, Mateo tries to make a lasting impression, and Amy tries to cover up the fact that an employee chopped their thumb off on her watch.

It’s been a busy week for TV renewals. Today, the Jenna Coleman-led ITV and PBS series Victoria got renewed for Season 2 and the NBC sitcom Superstore starring America Ferrera received an extra nine episodes.

Season 2, Episode 2 – Superstore officially returns for its second season with a solid episode that resets the status quo while promising hilarious chaos throughout the season.

Season 2, Episode 1 – Superstore‘s special Olympics episode is a great reminder of what a hilarious show this is, as it touched on important issues with heart, humor, and fun cameos from real Olympians.

Now that all five networks have revealed their fall premieres we can start making our schedules and fighting with family and roommates about who will be relegated to the DVR!

NBC has revealed the premiere dates for their fall schedule which will begin mid-September. Among the series are This Is Us, The Good Place, and Parks and Recreation.

What a way to end a season! Superstore expertly balanced absurdity with sincerity in a standout episode that takes on Cloud Nine’s corporate overlords, as the team stages a walkout protesting Glenn being fired over trying to find a backdoor way of giving Cheyenne paid maternity leave.

Superstore is a workplace comedy with a heart, and like all the best ones, it deals with the idea that the people you work with are more than just colleagues—they’re family.

Superstore only has two more episodes left in its trimmed first season, with no word from the network on its renewal status. Both NBC’s The Office and Parks and Recreation had faltering freshman seasons, but grew into their own in their second. Hopefully NBC gives Superstore the chance to do the same.

Superstore continues to shape the characters, their relationships with each other, and our connection to them, but this episode isn’t exactly the strongest of their freshman season — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable.

Superstore is rolling along nicely and the show is turning out to be a sweet show with a very strong cast of comedic actors. Like dating, I have reached a point with Superstore, where I am ready to commit. It is the seventh episode, after all.

In last night’s Superstore, Lauren Ash killed it while on a witch hunt for the store’s “secret shopper,” harassing customers who were clearly just there to shop. The results were fantastic.

This week the Cloud 9 crew had a lot to handle: a death in the store, a shoplifter who refused to confess, and the growing pains of pre-teen girl’s adolescence…otherwise known as “what to do (and what not to do) when a girl gets her first period.” Better still, it’s the first episode of Superstore where we finally feel the heartfelt camaraderie of the team.

As the title of the latest episode, “Mannequin”, suggests, the show continues to build on the flirty relationship between store veteran Amy (America Ferrera) and store newbie Jonah (Ben Feldman) via a mannequin in the store that bares a freakishly, uncanny resemblance to Jonah.

“Zombieland” director changes agencies.
