Big stores like Walmart have been very successful but can the same be said for NBC’s sitcom that’s centered around a Walmart-like store? Has Superstore brought in big ratings? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Superstore revolves around the dysfunctional family dynamic that forms among employees at the fictional Cloud 9 Superstore. The comedy’s cast includes America Ferrera, Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos, Nichole Bloom, and Mark McKinney.
The series launched late last year with a pair of episodes as a special “preview” that followed a highly rated episode of The Voice. They averaged a 1.8 in the 18-49 demographic with 6.28 million viewers. That was a very positive start.
The next episode aired in late December and few tuned in. It drew a 0.8 in the demo with 2.62 million.
Fortunately, episode four (which aired on January 4th) bounced back and drew a 1.75 in the demo with 6.04 million. The numbers have been dwindling downward since then. Last week’s installment drew a 1.21 rating with 3.89 million.
Though the ratings have come down quite a bit, Superstore is still doing pretty well — especially for an NBC comedy in 2016. The network has been struggling to establish any sitcoms so I suspect they’ll renew this one for another season and hope that they can build its audience in season two.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Superstore sitcom on NBC? Do you think it should return for a second season? Cancel or keep it?
PLEEEESE RENEW!! Seriously funny!
Keep it!!!!
KEEP IT ON – SO, SO FUNNY!
I really like this show. Hope it is stays on air.
Are you f****** me?! There are a lot of shows out there. For once I’m addicted to this show like I was to the Simpsons back in the 90’s. After watching all of season one I went looking for season two to watch/buy. This show isn’t the best that will ever be, but it’s awesome for people who want something fun and realistic. (Before you reply with it is NOT realistic you better have five plus years experience in the retail industry and NOT management. I’m talking about on the floor experience. ) If you have thus, by all means… Read more »

They should renew it but it’ll probably get cancelled. Just like they cancelled Hannibal.
I absolutely LOVE this show! My husband and grown kids love it too. They characters are so quirky and endearing, and the writing is wItty and sharp as hell. So fun to see Mark McKinney from #Kids in the Hall again, and America Ferrera is a gem. DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW! Please allow it to grow it’s audience!
PLEASE KEEP, hilarious. Perfect on Monday nights, we don’t have to think just laugh. Agreed it’s sadly spot on for how retail jobs truly are. KEEP KEEP KEEP KEEP KEEP
