‘Superstore’ mascot surprises, ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ on FOX, Tom Cruise’s career
With the final presidential debate in the rear view mirror, the TV remote can take a much needed rest and return to regularly scheduled broadcasting. Besides the typical political specials and the lead up to the actual election, the focus of television programming will be on programs. Music to your ears, right?
‘Superstore’ mascot eats people? NBC’s hilarious sitcom
The “Superstore” sitcom on NBS is sidesplitting funny. If you’ve ever gone into a Walmart or a big department store and asked yourself how to employees deal with outrageous customers, then this is the show you need to be watching. As a super fan, I just wish I could be a customer at this store (I’d even bring my list from home) as I would love to eavesdrop on this crew. Which brings me to the “Superstore” mascot. It’s hilarious on so many levels and this week the mascot shared a little love online. Catch “Superstore” on Thursday night at 8 p.m.

‘Late, Late Show’ reenacts Tom Cruise’s career
Tom Cruise showed once again he can act, even if that means reliving highlights of his own career. On the “Late, Late Show with James Corden” the actor acted out snippets of his legendary film career. So many movies to choose from! There were scenes from “Top Gun” to the “Mission: Impossible” series and even Cuba Gooding Jr. stopped by for a scene in “Jerry MacGuire” to share the most famous line from the film: “Show me the money.”
And finally… Television quotes
Last night I was researching a project and came across this quote. It made me realize that perhaps some of the best moments have been found on television when a character babbles out a line for the world to hear. Then again, maybe they share just a little too much. Obviously, this quote is definitely the latter, but it’s still quite hilarious.
“I mean, I can’t compete with these geisha features. He looks like a panda and a Disney princess had a baby.” — Glenn on “Superstore” (played by actor Mark McKinney)
