Potential Retail TV series- Animated or Otherwise- Pros and Cons
Pro- There's definite career movement and relationship progression among the characters throughout the series.
*Promotions, temporary promotions, paid blogging, people moving in together, etc.
Con- There's already a comedy about store workers- Superstore.
Pro- The positive reaction to Superstore might make it possible for another series.
Another Pro- Retail looked at the daily lives of department store employees, including their economic struggles, including:
-Needing a second job outside of the store to pay bills- at least three characters during the run of the strip.
-Struggling with financials after a hospital trip.
I haven't watched Superstore a lot and I don't know if that series- popular as it is- looks at the outside-the-store lives of its employees, but Retail did. Showing their personal lives to the extent that the strip did could make a very interesting show.
Con, however- the Retail strip ended in February of last year, which means there's no new material.
Pro, however- Stock-boy-turned-stockroom-supe Cooper and new hires Donnie and Lunker had an incredible nerd side- think Sheldon, Howard, Leonard and Raj if they worked in a department store instead of at CalTech.
*Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, Kubo and the Two Strings, Star Wars, etc.
