What’s This TV Show About?
An NBC sitcom from creators Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling, Champions stars Anders Holm, Andy Favreau, J.J. Totah, Fortune Feimster, Ginger Gonzaga, Mouzam Makkar, Yassir Lester, and Robert Costanzo, with Kaling guest starring. The comedy centers on Vince (Holm), a former high school baseball star who abandoned his aspirations to run his family’s Brooklyn gym and lives above it with his sweet, naïve younger brother, Matthew (Favreau). When Vince’s old fling, Priya (Kaling) drops off their teenaged son, Michael (Totah), so the boy can attend a New York school for the performing arts, Vince and Matthew must rise to the challenge of providing a good home for the young man, despite their utter lack of parenting experience. Fortunately, the gang at the gym is ready to provide some guidance, whether it’s helpful or not.

Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Champions for season two? The ratings have been quite low so I’m certain that this sitcom will be cancelled after one season. Could a miracle save this family comedy? I’ll keep a hungry on the ratings and update this page with breaking news. Subscribe for Champions cancellation or renewal alerts.
