It has been two years since Superstore ended its run on NBC, but the employees of Cloud 9 still like each other. So, the other day, they got together to eat dinner and catch up.
Hopefully, Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos, Nichole Sakura, Mark McKinney, Kaliko Kauahi, Irene White, and Kelly Schumann were talking about trying to convince Universal to give them a reboot because I so miss their sitcom about working in a big box store. Do you miss it too?
Jerry O’Connell is hosting the game show Pictionary, and he has a lot of fun with the contestants and the celebrities on the game show.
The other day, he asked one of the contestants what he uses on his slicked-back hair, gel or spray? He told O’Connell whatever his wife puts in it.
Then the host asked Superstore’s Colton Dunn what he uses. At that point, the audience turned on him. Why? Because Dunn is done with hair on the top of his head.
I can side with the audience on this one. But then again, Dunn was insulting O’Connell all day, so he was just playing back with his friend.
I mean, after all, O’Connell is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, and he can’t be mean to anyone. That is unless they pick on his belt. A belt he has been using because he got toned after he joined Magic Mike Live!
Tonight at 8p on NBC, Superstore says goodbye with a one-hour season finale. A finale that surpassed my expectations. If I could hug it, I would.
The hour starts off with Amy (America Ferrera) telling them that Zephra is closing 95% of their stores because they are going digital. She heard that a representative is going around to all of the stores to see which ones to keep and close down. Therefore, Amy says that she will fly back to St. Louis to help try to save the store. Will she be able to do it? How will Jonah (Ben Feldman) react when he sees his ex?
Since this is the final episode, you can kind of guess what is going to happen to Cloud 9. However, we don’t know what is going to happen to our favorite employees. Glenn (Mark McKinney) is no spring chicken; is this the end of the road for him? Who would want Dina (Lauren Ash) and her tough-as-nails attitude? Mateo (Nico Santos) is undocumented, so he is unhirable; can he find someone to hire him? Garrett (Colton Dunn) is as grumpy as ever, so what does he want to do with the next chapter of his life? Cheyenne (Nichole Sakura) needs a job because she is the breadwinner in her house. Can she find one that is perfect for her? Then there are those like Sandra (Kaliko Kauahi) and Marcus (Jon Barinholtz); you already know their story and everyone else’s. We just want them to get a happy ending. Will they get it? Will we get one for Amy and Jonah?
You just have to tune for one of the best series finales I have seen. You won’t be left disappointed like other shows.
Thank you to everyone who worked on this sitcom. I am sad to see you go, but I am happy you go out the way you did.
Tonight at 8p on NBC, we are getting the last original episode of Superstore before the series finale next week. Therefore, they are getting a big guest for the occasion, and it is Lowell Anderson.
Who is Lowell Anderson? His dad founded Cloud 9. As soon as Glenn sees him in his store, he rolls the red carpet. Anderson (Dave Foley) wants to make a lot of changes, and Glenn (Mark McKinney) is more than willing to make them.
However, this is Superstore, and his ideas are as eccentric as he is. Will anyone stop him before he goes too far? What do you think happens? Can it be worse than last week’s flood? You will have to tune in to find out. Believe me; you will want to because it is another funny one. Plus, it sets up for the series finale. You also don’t want to miss next week’s one-hour finale.
Superstore is back for the second half of their final season tonight at 8:30p on NBC, and the comedy is getting serious tonight. As serious as they can when it comes to taking on systemic racism because you have seen the show. It is why we love it.
The episode starts off with Dina (Lauren Ash) revealing a big change that corporate has made at Cloud 9. The black hair products will no longer be locked up. That starts off a whole debate on how that is the smallest thing corporate can do to fix racism in their stores.
Therefore, Dina, who is filling in for a self-quarantining Glenn (Mark McKinney), decides to hold a meeting to determine what can be done to improve things for the minority workers at their store. Garrett (Colton Dunn) becomes the unwilling leader on the task. Mostly because none of his co-workers get where he is coming from or understand how serious this matter is. However, Jonah (Ben Feldman) will try in his own special way. Sweet, sweet Jonah.
Glenn will also try to help, but it goes horribly wrong. Will Garrett finally be able to make a difference?
The thing about comedy is that they can take on something serious and teach you something without making you feel like they are preaching to you. That is what Superstore perfects tonight in this special episode. Then again every episode is perfect. What does have to end?
Order in some pizza and enjoy Nothing But Comedy with Mr. Mayor and Superstore tonight starting at 8p.
