TV show description:
This comedy series follows an adventurous magazine reporter whose world is turned upside down when he’s assigned to a desk job to supervise a young staff.
Working for the Outdoor Limits magazine, renowned adventure reporter Jack Gordon (Joel McHale) has spent his life exploring the edges of the earth. However, his life is changed when the magazine’s outdoorsman founder, Roland (Stephen Fry), announces it’s becoming a web-only publication. Roland assigns Jack to head up the digital department and supervise the Millennials who make up its online team.
Now that he’s taken a desk job, Jack must adapt to the times and his new world. He’s struggling to grasp the lingo of online click-bait and listicles, but his real challenge is in understanding his staff of Millenials who write about the great outdoors but who’ve never experienced it.
The team includes nerdy Clark (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a guy who knows how to survive a zombie apocalypse but who’s never been out of the city; disinterested social media expert Emma (Christine Ko); and Mason (Shaun Brown), a hipster who hasn’t spent any actual time outside.
Making things more complicated is the fact that Brooke (Susannah Fielding) is Jack’s boss. She also happens to be Roland’s daughter and Jack’s ex-girlfriend.
Always on hand to listen and help Jack understand the new world, bar owner Eddie (Chris Williams) is Jack’s best friend.
Episode #22 — The Company Retreat
At the magazine’s notoriously carnal company retreat, feelings resurface between Jack and Brooke as they work together to help Clark finally hook up with Emma – the same way they did five years ago. Also, Roland asks Jack to lead the staff in his absence after he accepts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to field reporting.
First aired: May 8, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like The Great Indoors TV show on CBS? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
What is going on CBS? This show is funny and fresh!! Somebody seriously needs to rethink this decision.
I really enjoyed the Great Indoors! Again, the programming crew at CBS failed, and cancelled a really funny show that appealed to normal people, and will no doubt replace it with garbage. Let’s cancel the CBS front office, instead!
Cancelled? Your fired CBS.
please keep it on it is so funny i enjoy watching it.
I find the Great Indoors to be amusing and fairly adult compared to many of the other newer Sitcoms. It has flaws which I think can be remedied by better script writing, and I give it Two Thumbs Up for Renewal.
Definitely renewed – it is the best comedy show on TV
I really enjoyed the show and hope it gets picked up for another season
Please renew the Great Indoors – it is funny and an interesting concept!!
Show is really nice clean fun.
Great show that deserves another season to build from its 8M viewer base.
I love this show. It deserves another season to build an even bigger base from its 8 Millionviewers
I really like this show. I wish it would remain on Mondays. Thursday DVR is filled or I would definitely watch it.
Really funny show! I love how a couple of “real men” interact with the “modern” generation
It is a great show
I love this show. The humor is dry and intelligent and the cast works well together. I hope it sticks around.
Keep the show!!!
