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?
Please renew — sharp show!
I love Superstore! Have watched episodes more then once. This show makes me laugh out loud!!!!
I really enjoy it. Keep it please!!
Attention superstore employees …The show should be canceled… It is very childish in premise and presentation….cancel
It’s a keeper!
Very funny
Honestly? I survived working at Walmart for 13 years. This show so perfectly depicts the working-in-retail experience, it’s almost scary. Every single episode has included something that I’ve experienced firsthand – which is both depressing and cause for laughter. I hope it sticks around.
Have watched every episode really hilarious
Please renew! Hilarious show!
I think the show is stupid and not funny at all. Cancel it.
This show is so funny I have watched every episode so far please renew it I just love it
My whole family Loves Superstore! We have watched every episode multiple times. Please renew it for another season! It is our Favorite show & we . Looked forward to watching it every week! We all laughed out loud 🙂
My family really enjoys Superstore. I hope it returns!
I vote to keep it.
I like it. It’s much better than Telenovela.
