Tonight is the series premiere of two new comedies on NBC, Superstore and Telenovela.
Two workplace comedies staring two hilarious actresses, Eva Longoria and America Ferrera. Both series are a workplace comedy.
Superstore, which premieres first, follows a group of workers in a parody Costco store called Cloud 9. Ferrera plays Amy, a 10 year veteran at Cloud 9 and is the floor supervisor. She deals with some very dysfunctional and diverse employees.
The series has a really sold cast, from Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Nicole Bloom and Mark McKinney as the store's manager. It's kind of like The Office meets Costco. NBC has already aired three episodes as for preview.
Telenovela is a comedy that's about the daily life of a telenovela star, Ana Sofia Calderon (played by Longoria), who doesn't speak Spanish even though she is the center of attention from her co-stars and the crew that's around her.
The series has such a great ensemble cast with Jencarlos Canela as Ana's ex-husband Xavier, Diana-Maria Riva as Mimi, Ava's best friend and the show's clothing designer, Amaury Nolasco as Rodrigo, the co-star who plays the show's villain and Alex Meneses as Isabela, former leading lady and Ana's rival.
The series is like if a telenovela and 30 Rock had a baby it would be just like this. Just like Superstore, Telenovela also previewed three episodes online and on broadcasting.
You can catch the series premiere of Superstore (8/7c) and Telenovela (8:30/7:30c) on NBC.
