This show is like if a bunch of the good parts of Parks and Rec, The Office, that Cheer documentary series on Netflix from a while back (without the uh...super shitty extra stuff), and Naked Gun all had a baby.
The episodes are quick, light-hearted, emotional, hopeful, and can stand on their own as somewhat absurd comedy but also feel so good when you know the full arcs.
Can't recommend it enough. I don't post hardly at all but this show appears to be on the bubble for renewal but is flying under the radar and I desperately want to see more of it.
The previews and commercials did this show no justice. It’s smart and hilarious.

Agreed. The promotion convinced me it wasn't for me, until I watched the first few minutes.

Agreed! I have to give credit to another post here recently that praised this show (and Reggie Dinkins, which I have yet to watch) to even know it existed.

I don't agree with that. They put it behind Happy's Place which may not be a very different comedy but it earned some of NBC's highest ratings for a comedy.
Then they reaired Stumble after St. Denis Medical for quite a few weeks to see if a better comedy match would help it.

Agreed. Great show. But it follows "Happy's Place" which, IMO, is one of the dumbest shows on TV. I think it would do much better if it had a proper lead in show.
Just found out DMV has been cancelled. Another one of the few funny shows still on TV and they killed it after just one season.

It’s funny because once you watch it, you’ll go “oh, this is for sure on NBC.” Maybe it’s just the mockumentary style, but really, the humor is also super on brand for NBC.

Obvious and subtle jokes... have to pay attention to the background stuff too.. watch for the "door" in the earlier episodes

Thank you for reminding me! I genuinely enjoy this show yet somehow keep forgetting to watch. I don't have Peacock which is part of the problem. I watch it... elsewhere every couple of weeks when someone awesome like you reminds me to. The fragmentation of tv is really becoming a pain. I'll rotate services to get in my favorites but have zero desire to pay for ALL services to just watch a handful of shows.

Fair! Parks and Rec had a really rough first season but I think this one is good from the start.
However, it does appear that episode 1 isn’t for everyone. See: this thread, haha

Does it get better after the first episode? Because I tried to watch it but wasn’t feeling it, but I know a lot of the other shows you mentioned started off rough too.

In my experience, most comedies need at least three episodes to really sink their teeth into you. This one is no different -- give it another shot, I think it'll be worth your time

Greyshot2611 hr ago

I thought so. It really hits it's stride in the back half. Like most sitcoms, it needs time to find its footing but it gets there around episode 4 in my opinion.

If you at least laughed at the joke’s about the main character’s husband forgetting everything, yes, it absolutely does.

My biased opinion is yes. I was only "hmm, maybe" after the first episode, but was hooked by the 2nd.

Have you seen the show? Because that’s definitely not the case. It’s f****** hilarious and this person describes it well. It just autoplayed one day on my tv and I was shocked at how funny it is. Peacock did a terrible job marketing it

It’s because the show hasn’t been renewed yet but it has a pretty solid fan base that wants it to continue. Plus, NBC sucks at promoting it, so the fans are trying to up the numbers to get it renewed.

I wish I were paid to comment about Stumble. We out here doing it for free because NBC is busy focusing on off-season tennis and developing Chicago Waterway System.

Trailers best joke was a racist one about an Asian girl. Also Kristen Cheneoweth is a right wing tool. Hard Pass
