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.
