He is asking if some of us also believe Abbott to be overrated, no one claimed to have an objective take on the matter.

If you had no idea what other people thought of it then why did you say that it’s underrated?

Sitcoms have been dying a slow death for quite a while now. The formula is just a lot less preferable when you can make narrative shows that are just as funny but can also hit any other note.

Disagree. I find it just as good, and even a tad warmer/cozier to watch.

If you read the article, you’d know that the show was averaging less than 200,000 viewers. That isn’t even close to “popular”

Infact I didn’t like Superstore as well and for the very same reason.

It's crazy they basically finished season 2 but decided to not put it on the platform. Such a waste

It's good but it's way overrated

US ghosts is trash compared to the original though

I find it basically identical in feel to Superstore. A good solid show with very likeable characters that you root for, with a lot of heart and you learn something about the discipline they work in. But you tend to forget about it afterwards and it isn't one you'd bother to rewatch.

I think AE is particularly strong in its characterisation - they're all very very different people, even the guest roles. Superstore was less strong in that sense. So I think I prefer AE.

But at the end of the day it's just another workplace comedy with a will they/won't they storyline in the middle.

How can you admit comedy is subjective and still claim something is “overrated” in the same post? If it’s overrated that means there’s an objective correct rating that people should be giving it, but instead they’re rating it too highly. But there’s not “too” anything if we admit that artwork is subjective. You don’t like it as much as many other people but no one is under or over rating it because that’s not possible.

It probably won't quite scratch the same itch and is much less thoughtful but if you have Disney+ and need something else after Pantheon, you could do worse than watching Tron Uprising. Good voice acting cast, distinctive art style, and a sound track that is working with the same musical themes as the movie.

AMC+ should just rename itself "Don't get attached to this show+". After they renewed but then unrenewed Moonhaven I am not ready to be hurt again.

Interesting side trivia about Pantheon: I believe the main writer also is responsible for one of the major translations of The Three Body Problem.

Cult following specifically means something with a small fanbase.

I’ m not sure what you are implying, I just named shows similar in humor and style, I would have added Atlanta which is one of my favorite shows ever but I find it more deep and dramatic.

It looked intriguing but I'm not watching a canned show.

I agree on this (and I loved Leslie Odom Jr. as guest star).

The principal gets me to laugh pretty consistently. I almost never laugh at anyone else.

Popular can also mean Cult Following. But that doesn't always mean a show had high ratings.

Yeah, I'd agree. I think it's just too wholesome for me. I really liked it in the beginning. I even rewatched the first few episodes but then I found myself hitting the pause button and doing some other stuff before I'd come back and watch more. It was taking me an hour or more to watch a 22min show so I cancelled the recording on the DVR.

Anyone else watching American Auto with Ana Gasteyer? It often makes me laugh at loud.

>it's how many people watch the show.

...that's what popular means.

Now all we need is Bob Odenkirk

Say what you want about Scientology, and rightfully so, but the guy genuinely seems like a decent person and a lot of people say he’s really respectful to the crew on sets and gets to know most people…. And hes a great actor. He really is. He puts out hit after hit so he’s doing something right. He’s shown plenty of range before. Now he’s at that age like many A listers and they pay him to be him. Like DiNero, Denzel and Pacino.
