Tonight, starting at 8p on NBC, Happy’s Place and Stumble are about babies, sort of.
Happy’s Place starts things off with Gabby (Melissa Peterman) trying to pick a sperm donor to be the father of her future child from a book. It is not an easy decision, so everyone at Happy’s is going to help her out.
But what happens when she can’t pick a man from the book? She looks at her co-workers. Will she choose Steve (Pablo Castelblanco), Emmett (Rex Linn), or Takoda (Tokala Black Elk)? And how will Bobbie (Reba McEntire) feel about her considering her man as one of the men?
It is an episode only this show can deliver!
NBC
Then at 8:30p, all of the cheerleaders on Stumble are synced up with their periods. The only woman who doesn’t have her period is Coach Courtney (Jenn Lyon). Therefore, she thinks she might be pregnant. Is she?
We also learn a lot about Dimarcus (Jarrett Austin Brown) on tonight’s episode. He has four older sisters, so he is taking care of his female cheerleaders. He might come off as a tough guy, but when it comes to women’s time of the month. He is a softee.
He is there for them, but will they be there for him when he needs them?
Tonight’s episode shows us that Stumble has earned its spot on television and should be around for a long time. It is the perfect amount of smart laughs and heart! Give it a shot, and you will be cheering it for it as much as I do!
It has been a long week, and boy, do we need to laugh. NBC is helping us do just that with Happy’s Place and Stumble starting at 8p tonight.
The episode takes place the day after Bobbie (Reba McEntire) and Emmett (Rex Linn) finally kissed (which took place at the end of the season premiere last week). And now we are going to see how they are reacting to it, as everyone else at the bar finds out about it.
Bobbie can’t wait to tell Gabby (Melissa Peterman), and they are all excited about it, until they see how Emmett tells Steve (Pablo Castelblanco) about the big moment.
What they don’t know is that Steve just found out from Emmett that he had known about Bobbie’s secret sister, Bella (Belissa Escobedo), for a long time. And you know Steve does not do well with knowing things he should not know.
So will Bobbett’s kiss be a one-time thing? You are going to have to tune in to find.
And then stay around to watch Stumble, a mockumentary sitcom about the competitive world of Junior College Cheer teams.
Last week, we got to meet Courteney Potter (Jenn Lyon), Junior College’s #1 Cheer coach. Well, technically, she is tied for that title, and now she is trying to have it all to herself with her brand new team at Headltston State Junior College. She had to start a new team because she was fired from Sammy Davis, Senior Junior College.
The newly assembled team needs a lot of help, especially after her best cheerleader, Krystal (Anissa Borrego), was injured after Dimarcus (Jarrett Austin Brown) accidentally threw her, and her foot broke.
Tonight, Courtney has to get the rest of her team ready for Media Day, and they are not as good as her old team, not even close.
Will clepto Peaches (Taylor Dunbar), over-the-hill Stevie (Ryan Pinkston), angry Dimarcus, can’t stay awake Madonna (Arianna Davis), and the lovable orphan Sally (Georgie Murphy) be ready for their second big moment?
She is going to try, but she is going to need help. Where will she get it from? You will have to watch the funniest and smartest new comedy of the season. Jeff Astrof has done it again.
Stay with Stumble because next week’s episode proves why this show needs to be picked up for more episodes.

NBC is giving us a show to cheer about, and that show is Stumble about a Junior College Cheer team and their coach, which premieres tonight at 8:30p.
Courteney Potter (Jenn Lyon) is tied for the most winningest Junior College Cheer coach, and with one more win. the title will be all hers.
What could go wrong? She gets fired for a viral video. So now she has lost her job and her winning Cheer team.
So what is she going to do? She will take a job at the nearby Headltston State Junior College.
Now, she has to build a new team, and that is not going to be easy. Krystal (Anissa Borrego), her star cheerleader, has turned her down and decided to stay where she is.
Madonna (Arianna Davis) is the first new recruit, and she is a natural tumbler. The only issue is that she suffers from narcolepsy, so she can’t stay awake.
Courtney needs a strong man on her team, so she recruits her old school’s football player, Dimarcus (Jarrett Austin Brown). He is not a team player and is hot-tempered.
Peaches (Taylor Dunbar) likes things hot, as in she steals them. The recently aged-out-of-foster-care child, Sally (Georgie Murphy), steals hearts.
Finally, there is Stevie (Ryan Pinkston), and he was one of Courtney’s first team members. He might be old, but he still has it.
But is that enough? Are they enough for Courtney to win again? We will have to tune in every week to find.
And you will want to because Jeff Astrof has done it again. The man, who gave us Trial & Error, Shining Vale, and Ground Floor, gives us another smart comedy that everyone can enjoy.
Pay attention because you are going to want to catch all of the jokes. If you blink, you might miss one or two.
NBC has a new comedy about cheer teams in Texas. Give me an A because that looks like the grade that Stumble should get because it looks like the new must-watch comedy of the year.
Stumble is a mockumentary about the ridiculously high stakes competitive world of junior college cheer.
The sitcom stars Jenn Lyon, Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, and Georgie Murphy
Jeff Astrof, who created Trial & Error and Ground Floor, is giving us a smart comedy that will make us laugh from beginning to end!
