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.
