About this Episode

It's easy to take a cursory look at the NBC sitcom Superstore and unfavorably compare it to The Office or Parks and Recreation. That's exactly what Matt and Tony did when the show premiered in late 2015. And altough the ratings for the show remained consistent throughout its six season run it never gained the sort of cult status and internet fame that its predecessor's enjoyed. Now that critics are finally catching up to the show it felt like the right time to give the show a second chance. They discuss the history of NBC's "must-see-TV" thursday lineup, the show's excellent and diverse cast, why it hasn't found the kind of audience that show's of its kind have enjoyed in the past, and its surpringly sharp political acumen.
