7 Best (But Lesser-Known) Sitcoms Like Superstore, According to Reddit

Can you believe Superstore ended over two years ago? The NBC workplace show aired its final episode on 25 March 2021, and fans have been binge-rewatching the beloved sitcom ever since. What viewers love most about Superstore is the close-knit community among the employees of the fictional large chain store, the light tone, and the positive vibes.

For those looking to take a break from Superstore, Redditors have come up with a list of seven other shows with similar qualities. Here they are, ranked by average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

American Auto (2021-2023, 2 seasons, 76%)

Created by iconic writer Justin Spitzer, whose credits include Scrubs and The Office, this NBC sitcom follows the employees of Detroit-based Payne Motors as they adjust to a new CEO from a different industry. American Auto shares the overall vibe with Superstore and features Jon Barinholtz, who played Marcus White. The show has aired for two seasons and has not yet been renewed for Season 3, so don’t get too attached.

Kim's Convenience (2016 - 2021, 5 seasons, 86%)

This CBS show is both a family and workplace sitcom focusing on the lives and relationships of a four-person Korean-Canadian family and their convenience store in Toronto. The sitcom is highly addictive, and many Redditors regret that it only has five seasons.

Abbott Elementary (2021-present time, 2 seasons, 90%)

This ABC mockumentary, set in a fictional Philadelphia elementary school, is also somewhat reminiscent of Superstore. Quinta Brunson created the sitcom and stars as Janine Teagues, a second-grade teacher who stays positive despite poor funding and other hardships. The ensemble cast has received high praise from both critics and viewers.

What We Do in the Shadows (2019-present time, 4 seasons, 92%)

Although this FX mockumentary is about vampires, fans say it has a very Superstore-like atmosphere, hilarious absurdist humour, and an amazing cast. The show has been renewed for at least two more seasons, with Season 5 to premiere on 13 July 2023.

30 Rock (2006 - 2013, 7 seasons, 92%)

This NBC show is another perfect workplace comedy created by and starring Tina Fey. Based on Fey's real-life experiences as head writer for Saturday Night Live, it revolves around the lives of the team working for a fictional live sketch comedy show. Fans say the show is packed with jokes and hilarious one-liners, making it a must-watch.

Schitt’s Creek (2015-2020, 6 seasons, 93%)

According to Reddit, one of the best modern television comedies is Schitt's Creek, created by Eugene and Dan Levy. The story follows a wealthy family who must rebuild their lives from scratch after losing everything they owned except for a remote town. The sitcom has a positive vibe similar to that of Superstore and offers plenty of funny, endearing moments.

Better Off Ted (2009-2010, 2 seasons, 95%)

Better Off Ted is an ABC workplace satire comedy with elements of futuristic science fiction. The show focuses on the employees of a stereotypically evil megacorporation. Redditors praise the first-class humour, the dynamic between the characters, and the relatable vibe for anyone who has worked for a multinational corporation that makes its profits off starving nations.
