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.
