The cast and crew of Superstore are on Cloud 9 today because they found out today that their working-class sitcom was renewed for season 5. Making it the longest running comedy on the NBC, that started on the network.
Is it a surprise? No! Not only has it remained consistently strong in both the writing and acting departments, but it is also still doing well in the ratings.
When I watched the pilot, I was not sure how I felt about. Now, I love it. NBC has made Thursdays Must See TV again with Superstore, The Good Place and Will & Grace. Hopefully, they will keep these shows together because I look forward to Thursdays now.
BTW wasn’t it cool to see Tracey Pakosta, Co-President of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment give them the news about their pickup. Clean up on aisle 5 because they will be celebrating tonight.
