Yeah, love that guy. Fun fact too, his partner is Dessie Jackson - an insanely talented graphic design & stop motion artist who works with artists from Balance & Composure, to Sabrina Carpenter, to Eric Clapton. Real power couple over there
we binged through this the past couple weeks (after having watched like half of it several years ago). one of the better sitcom endings for sure, although reading previous posts in the thread, the original plans for S6 & a potential S7 would've been interesting.
I just started watching this too for the first time. To be honest, I had no idea it went on for 6 seasons or was as well received as it was. I always thought it was a 1 and 2 and done and a tepid failure. Very funny so far (half way through s2) and while it's DNA is certainly evident, all the characters and jokes are landing at the minute.
I think Superstore is a victim of coming in at the tail end of NBC comedy’s (and network comedy in general) popularity. Felt like right about the time a lot of younger people were switching to full online streaming. But it’s highly overlooked and underrated.
Rarely do I think these network sitcoms get better as they go, but this show definitely has. Almost done with season 5 and the jokes / characters and plots are better than ever. Been a very enjoyable binge. Obviously shows take a minute to find their groove but they normally peak then dip and I don't think this one has at all. Some great ones during S5. Now I need to start thinking of the next work from home watch as I'll be done with this soon enough.
Agreed. Those first few seasons are fine to me, significantly under par in the scope of other sitcoms I enjoy, but watchable. Then, and I don’t remember if it’s season 4 or 5, there’s a very sudden marked improvement somewhere. The jokes just become a lot stronger. Dunno if they hired new writers or simply found their footing, but it’s the rare show that I would tell someone to keep watching even if the first couple of seasons didn’t click
