We are just over 2 months away from the season premiere of Superstore on NBC, but the show is back in production now. Today, Ben Feldman shared a photo that let us know what we can expect from the season premiere.
When we last left the show, a tornado hit Cloud 9 and the store was destroyed. Looks like the show will pick up shortly after it left off and the workers will be walking around St Louis to assess the damage. But that is not the big part of the story, it appears that a plane went down and it will be in their path.
Or could that destroyed airplane be for something else that films on the Universal Lot where the sitcom films? We will find out on September 28th! I know I now cannot wait to find out.
Tonight at 8:30p on NBC’s Superstore, Cloud 9 faces a problem they never dealt with before. Not which 6 employees will be fired, but a tornado warning that becomes more of a reality.
Glenn (Mark McKinney) is tasked with firing six employees and everyone wants to know who it will be. Dina (Lauren Ash) and Amy (America Ferrera) try to help him, but he doesn’t want to get rid of anyone. Just as he finally announce his six, he is saved by the alarm. A tornado is coming their way and now they need to bunker down. Their friendships will be tested and things will never be the same between them. Who will survive? Will it be Dina? Amy? Will it be Jonah (Ben Feldman)? Will it be Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom )? Will it be Matteo (Nico Santos)? Will it be Garrett (Colton Dunn)?
To find out who will survive the layoffs and the tornado, you will just have to tune into this game changing season finale episode that gives a whole new meaning to cliffhanger.
At 8p on Fox, the cooks on MasterChef Junior get some special guests in the kitchen. Miss Piggy and the Swedish Chef are there to help out. Well Miss Piggy cooks as the Swedish Chef judges the contestants. All leading to shocking elimination that no one will see coming. Get the tissues ready because you will laugh so hard there will be tears in your eyes and then you will have tears in your eyes from crying during the elimination. But don’t you always? That is why we love this show!
NBC announced today that it picked up its hit sitcom Superstore for a third season, and that will be interesting. You see, recently during the NBC TCA Winter Press Day, I got a tour of their cooler than cool set that actually looks like a real store, and they told us that they are changing sound stages because Universal is expanding their theme park over the land where they are now. That means they are going to have to move their whole set that like I said is built like a real store the size of a smaller Rite-Aid or CVS and stocked to the Cloud 9.
How are they going to do that? When I asked the Executive Producer if they were going to do something like Chuck did and blow up the store, all he would tell is to tune in for the season finale which had not been written yet. They had ideas what was going to happen, but nothing was concrete at the time. Now that show is definitely coming back for another 22 episode season, I can’t wait to see how they get themselves out of this mess! I am hoping for complete destruction, but then again I love disaster movies. How do you want them to destroy the store? If they decide to go that route.
Superstore joins This Is Us and The Good Place on NBC’s lineup coming up in the Fall. It is nice to see that NBC got its comedy groove back. Wait until you see Trial & Error next month, it’s the smartest comedy I have seen in a really long time.

Before Mark McKinney was crushing spirits on Superstore, he was crushing heads on Kids in the Hall. How brilliant was the 28 year old in that 1988 bit?

Before Ben Feldman was working at Superstore, he was in high school in The Perfect Man. How cute was the 24 year old in that 2005 movie.
