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.

I don’t know about you, but I like The Traitors on Peacock. I just don’t love that it is all reality stars.
I guess I am not alone because NBC picked up the competition show. But the key difference is that it is Average Joes who will be trying to figure out who The Traitors are, or they are The Traitors hiding their identity.
“‘The Traitors’ format has proven itself as one of the most gripping and talked-about reality competition shows in the world,” said Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions. “We’re thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers.”

NBC announced today when their shows will debut for the Fall schedule, and they made one huge change.
The Hunting Party, which was supposed to air on Thursdays at 10p, is being held until the midseason. Instead, Law & Order: Organized Crime, which moved to Peacock, is returning to NBC on Thursday nights, with repeats that originally aired on the streamer. Therefore, giving Dick Wolf two nights of broadcasting: One Chicago Wednesdays and Law & Order Thursdays.
The network is also doubling up on comedies. St. Denis Medical and Happy Place will air two episodes on their respective days, Mondays and Fridays. I am not sure if that is a good plan or not. What do you think?
What I do think is that NBC has the advantage over ABC and Fox because they are airing more scripted programming than the other two.
THE FALL PREMIERE DATES/TIMES ARE AS FOLLOWS (All times ET)
Even though NBC announced their 2025-2026 schedule in May, they had not made a decision about Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Today, they finally made a decision and killed the murder mystery.
Part of the reason the decision was delayed is that they were trying to see if it could be moved to Peacock. According to Deadline, the move was not cost-effective, so all of the questions from the season finale, including the confession, will go unanswered.
The show followed four members of a suburban garden club who find their lives intertwined by scandal, mischief and a shared secret – a murder no one wants to talk about. As dark truths begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.
The cast included Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, AnnaSophia Robb, Matthew Davis, Alexander Hodge, Nancy Travis and Felix Wolfe.
