This Week's News of Reboots, Spin-offs and Sequels Oh My!

What a week it has been for television news. 

This week we've learned that a reboot, a spinoff, and a sequel to some of television's best series are in the works. 


Little House on The Prairie Reboot

It was reported by EW and Deadline that Paramount Television Studios, Anonymous Content, and Friendly Family Production are in the works to reboot the classic TV series Little House on the Prairie. 

While I'm thrilled with the news, it's about time that this series gets a chance at a reboot. It's good to see a show that's been gone and in syndication for so long to get a chance to breathe fresh life. I love the original series that ran for nine seasons plus four TV movies; as it was one of my mother's favorite shows to watch as a kid. 

Whether it's going to be on Paramount+, Paramount Network, NBC, or even Peacock Streaming Service (this week they announced that all nine seasons of the series will be streaming), I'll tune in. 


Superstore Spinoff 

A few weeks ago we were all bummed out with the news that Superstore will end its run this year. Come to Thursday with the news that there's a development of a spinoff with a Bo and Cheyenne series. 

Now at first after I read it I was like, "wait, what?" It didn't really click for me as I thought maybe a Cheyenne and Mateo spinoff would have been better. But after a few days of thinking about it, it sounded better but I don't have any confidence in this getting a pickup. 

It just reminds me of when The Office was going to have a spinoff, The Farm with Dwight and his family, but that didn't get the go-ahead pickup. That's pretty much the one example that's floating around my head that has me on a 50/50 shot that this spinoff could get the green light. 



The Return to Night Court

Who would have thought that a classic 80's sitcom could get a reboot let alone a sequel to a series? This week WB and NBC are in developing a sequel to the 80's classic comedy with John Larroquette set to return as his character Dan Fielding with Abby Stone, daughter of Judge Harry T. Stone (portrayed by the late Harry Anderson), to take over for his father's seat. 

All I have to say is that it's about damn time. I was so thrilled about the news and that the one thing that I hope it will address is that Abby Stone is also the daughter of Christine Sullivan (played by Markie Post). The series was supposed to end with Harry and Christine getting married but both WB and NBC messed up with a renewal for Season 9 that ended up getting canceled and holding off a series finale. 

We did get a reunion with Anderson, Post, and Charlie Robinson making their appearance in 30 Rock's episode, The One with the Cast of Night Court; which gave us the ending that both Kenneth had always wanted thanks to Tracy Jordan.

Superstore to End with Season 6


Well, it looks like Cloud 9 will be out of business.

On Thursday, NBC has announced that Superstore will conclude at the end of its current sixth season. The final 11 episodes will begin airing Thursday, Jan. 14th in a new time slot at 8:30/7:30c, where it now follow the Ted Danson led comedy, Mr. Mayor. 

"We're grateful to universal Television and NBC for letting us make 113 episodes of a show we're so proud of, and for giving us the chance to work with such an incredibly talented group of actors, writers, and crew," said executive producers Justin Spitzer, Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green in a statement. "We're thankful most of all to the viewers who've stuck with us for the past six years (or discovered us somewhere along the way). We'll do our best to go out strong and give you the satisfying ending you deserve."

NBCUniversal scripted content president Lisa Katz said in a statement, "Superstore has always been a signature NBC series that has never failed to make us laugh while also thoughtfully examing important issues people care deeply about. This has been an amazing group of writers, producers, actors, and crew to work with and we are both incredibly grateful for all their contributions. This show will forever hold its place among the top workplace comedies for which we have cherished history."

The end-date announcement comes just weeks after original series star America Ferrera exited the series. In her farewell speech to the cast, the actress indicated that she was open to the idea of reprising her role as Amy before the series' eventful conclusion.

Well, this is one way to kick off the holiday season, I guess. Wow! I'm a bit shocked to have read the news that Superstore would be ending after this season. I would have thought they give the series maybe another year or so. But maybe the writings were on the wall with America leaving and the new time slot change that it's time for the show to end. 

I understand that you must be upset and mad, but here's a bright side to things, the show has lasted six seasons. Not a lot of comedies last six seasons and gives a proper ending.

I think that the best to end the series is to bring back Amy and give her and Jonah a final send-off: or maybe have Amy come back because she misses being around her Cloud 9 family. Whatever it is, I'm sure they're gonna give us one hell of an ending.

Welcome Back to Cloud 9: Superstore "Essential" Season Premiere

 


The season premiere of Superstore brought us much need laughs but also left us with a cliffhanging moment. Here's a recap!

The season premiere picks up where we left off with a short recap of Amy informing the staff that she and Jonah will be leaving for California for her new position. But here comes the COVID-19 and all things don't go anyone's way, even Marcus, who decided to go to a spring break party and caught the COVID. 

The episode shows off serious moments like when the staff learned about George Floyd's murder. While Amy tries to handle both managing the store and being on zoom calls with corporate that's pretty much taking a lot out of her. 

But after a crazy day, Sandra and Cheyenne's idea to store extra stuff for them in the ceiling didn't go so well as it became too heavy and collapse. Later on, Jonah learns that Amy will be going to California but he corrected her saying that they are going to California. That moment ends with Jonah hugging Amy, she gives a worried look. 

"Essential" was a very good and funny episode. The episode was so well written that had really good moments in the chronicle order as we catch up. 

While I loved the whole Glenn getting deep washed from Dina but it was mostly Sandra and Cheyenne that stole most of the episode with their crazy idea of storing items from the customers. And that Tom Hanks scene was another treat in this episode, the second time goes so well (with This Is Us). 

The 100th episode will be a special one no doubt about it. I think it will be a tearjerker, to say the least, but an episode that probably would throw some flashback moments, wouldn't you say? The tear-jerking moment will be Amy saying goodbye and leaving Jonah and the Cloud 9 family. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the 100th and Amy's final episode of Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Superstore Season 6 Slight Delay

 


Looks like the grand reopening tat Cloud 9 will have a slight delay. 

On Thursday, NBC has announced that Superstore, which was originally scheduled to kick off its sixth season on Thursday, October 22, will now return a week later on October 29. 

Also announcing that its new social distanced comedy Connecting will now premiere on Thursday, October 8 at 8/7c, before sliding to 8:30/7:30c timeslot upon Superstore's return.

It was last week that America Ferrera, who had announced her departure from the sitcom, has signed on to appear in not one, but two seasons six episodes. The result that the series' milestone 100th episode (set to air on Nov. 5) will double as Ferrera's swan song.

"There was so much we wanted to explore with COVID and how it changes the world of Cloud 9 that we decided to focus on that in the premiere, with Amy starting her new job remotely while still trying to manage the store," co-showrunners Jonathan Green and Gabe Miller told TVLine. "The second episode will cover Amy's last day at Cloud 9, so we can fully give her the sendoff she deserves."

This isn't the first announcement of scheduling moves at NBC, on Wednesday the network announced that This Is Us Season Five will be moved up by two weeks to October 27th. 

I don't see this as a big deal. I'm just looking forward to seeing the Cloud 9 back again.

America Ferrera's Returns to Superstore


Looks like America Ferrera isn't done with Superstore just yet. 

TVLine has exclusively confirm that Ferrera, who previously announced her departure from the NBC's No. 1 comedy was delayed due to COVID-19, has signed on to appear in not one, but two Season six episodes. She will be in the milestone 100th episode, which will now double as Ferrera's swan song. 

The nes comes as Superstore works to incorporate the ongoing coronavirus pandemic into Amy's farewell storyline. 

Co-showrunners Jonahtan Green and Gabe Miller tells TVLine, "We're lucky enough to have America back for our first two episodes of the season. There was so much we wanted to explore with COIVD and how it changes the world of Cloud 9 that we decided to focus on that iin the premiere, with Amy starting her new job remotely while still trying to mange the store.

"The second episode will cover Amy's last day at Cloud 9, so we can fully give her the sendoff she deserves," the continued. "It's also Superstore's 100th episode, so we're excited that America will be celebrating that milestone with us."

Green and Miller tells TVline that for Season Six COVID theme that the premiere will pick up where season five's cliffhanger left off, as the virus delays Amy and Jonah's move to Califorina. Expect time jumps within the episode early int he months of the pandemic soon catching up to where they leave off in the present time. They'll show how all of the characters are handling the new COVID envoriment. 

While we knew that America was going to come back the finish her storyline, I'm super excited for it anyway. It would be so weird to leave things the way they left it and move on from there. It would have been unfitting. Also, I can't wait to see how the Cloud 9 gang deals with he COVID-19 situation. Throughtout the summer when I had to shop I always had a wonder of what would Dana, Glenn or Jonah do in this situation. We'll find out soon.

Superstore premieres in Thursday, October 22 at 8/7c on NBC.

I'm super excited about the new Law & Order spinoff and even more than it's teaming with SVU on Thursday nights. After the reveal of the fall schedule, I'm a little confident that we'll see new episodes this fall. The one thing that worries me is how will the new standard be like.

Superstore Season 5 Review


For Season Five of Superstore, the show doesn't lose a beat.

While the fifth season was cut short of its original season run; I thought that this season of the comedy series was so brilliant and hilarious. The Amy storylines this season with her dealing with corporate and trying to get to the top was good. Also, her and Manto's storyline was funny at times but heartwarming. The trio of Jonah, Cheyenne, and Garrett was hilarious; I loved this season was Sandra, Jonah, and Garrett as they were dealing with new corporate phones. 

While the ensemble cast was brilliant; Kaliko Kauahi as Sandra was not only amazing but stole the season with her performance. From episodes of her wedding and dealing with Carol this season, she deserves to win the MVP for this season. Also, Lauren Ash gave some great moments too; from meeting her father to dealing with the loss of her birds and getting back at Garrett.

And while the season finale was supposed to have Amy leaving Superstore; the episode that aired as the season finale did have an ending of a goodbye. I do hope that America Ferrera would come back for an episode to give a fair sendoff, which I think her character deserves. 

I loved how this season the show kept the characters grounded and never dummy them down at all with such rich storytelling. Season after season the show elevates and gets better and better. Season five is that example and one that anyone who hasn't seen it should watch it. Brilliant writing and brilliant performances from the ensemble cast. Overall, I give this season a 91/0.

You can catch Superstore to return for a sixth season (sometime this fall).

Young and Help: Superstore "Mall Closing"/"Self-Care"

Image result for superstore mall closing

"Mall Closing"

With the mall closing, Cloud 9 feels they can take on the teenagers that could come and make a profit, but instead, it backfires and turns Cloud 9 from a shopping store to a hangout place. Amy sees her daughter is hanging out around the store along with her friends and tries to make things better for her. Dina don't like the whole teens and tries to get them out. Cheyenne gets broken by the teenagers and Sandra becomes an idol like figure.

Meanwhile, with Mateo having a hard time finding a job and making money, Jonah tries to give him money while making him bet against him. From betting on if Cher won one Grammy or not to Garrett making a shot; Mateo loses both times until when Jonah gets him to flip a coin. After two tries Mateo won back his money but Jonah, who's a gambling addict, tries to prove that Mateo's method was wrong.

"Mall Closing" was a pretty good episode. It wasn't an episode that had me winning over as the best episode of the season. The Mateo/Jonah/Garrett story was good and won me over, Amy and her daughter story didn't stick too well. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.



Image result for superstore well care

"Self-Care"

As Amy has been working overtime, Jonah and Cheyenne try to give her a self-care day, but things go haywire. From having the health inspector to come early and Jonah signing off on an inappropriate display for hot sauce, Amy, Jonah, and Cheyenne try their best to fix everything while the inspector checked out the store.

Meanwhile, Mateo gets a job working for the store's optometrist but instead of selling glasses; he's given advice and forced to help him with marriage issues. After talking with Garrett and making a comment about his beard is to cover his no chin, he tells his boss to face his wife himself.
Dina tries to get Glenn to eat healthy after he learned that he's diabetic. From eating kale and throwing away broiled chicken; Glenn tries to help Dina with her father issues as it seems she's using this on Glenn.

"Self-Care" was a very good episode and a bit better than the previous one. The story plots were good from Jonah and Cheyenne helping Amy with her tiredness; to helping Amy to get things down with the health inspector. I enjoyed the Dina and Glenn story as it was so good and tied with Mateo/Garrett's moment too. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Love and War: Superstore "Testimonials"/"Forced Hire"

Image result for superstore testimonials

"Testimonials"

Amy tries to get everyone to tell Mateo's lawyer only the good things; but some of the things that they say about him are from other events and even movies. Amy tries her best and when Jeff comes to help; the only thing that could help with Mateo's case is that he can testify on record that corporate called ICE to stop a union dispute. Even though Jeff was against it, after seeing a photo of him and Mateo he decided to do it.

Meanwhile, Sandra is excited about her bridal shower; but Dana, who's supposed to set it all up, isn't given her a surprise party. When Jonah sees what's going on he decides to help give Sandra something special to remember, even if it's in the storage room. After seeing the hidden party, Dana finally goes against the internet and gives Sandra her party that ended up being Mateo's welcome home party too. 

"Testimonials" was a very good episode with hilarious moments and even a moment that made me tear up. With the cast given a solid performance, the writing was as good as the plot and character development. I think overall the moment was when Sandra gave Mateo a huge hug. In my mind, I think that kind of represented not only the character happy to have Mateo but all of us fans that really got me teared up. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Image result for superstore forced hire

"Forced Hire"

When Amy hired Colleen to the store; Dana isn't too pleased and tries to get Garrett to do something mean to her. But when he plants fish in her locker, it didn't go so well. Later on, Colleen confronts Garrett about the fish and soon the two kinda hit it off in a way and decided to go on a date. When Dana learns about it, Amy steps in and tells her that it was all part of the plan to later dump her at dinner. But as Amy finds out someone from another store got hurt, she offers them Colleen to them; which they took and made Dana even happier.

Meanwhile, Jonah must convince Marcus and his crew to join the union. But Marcus gets him to do a hangout session from sitting in his car to shooting hoops. Jonah had about had it with Marcus and decides to talk to his crew by himself. Even though the talk didn't go so well, he did get them to agree on the union thing after jugging a gallon of the ranch.

Also, Glenn and Cheyenne try to help Mateo feel better by asking for his help at work, but it goes a bit too far and upsets everyone. Just as they were about to tell Mateo; he tells them that he knows that everyone was just trying to make him feel better.

"Forced Hire" was a good episode with some hit and miss but it was a good episode all around. The Colleen/Dana/Garrett story was so good along with the Glenn/Mateo/Cheyenne as well. They were funny and solid plot stories. But it's Jonah and Marcus that was okay but didn't have all that of what the other stories had. Enjoyable? Yes but forgettable too. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.
