Stuart Fails to Save the Universe
ComedyAdventure2026Rated 6.7
Stuart Bloom runs a comic book shop in a ruined Pasadena. After he breaks a device built by his friends, he sets out with his girlfriend Denise, Bert and Barry to put reality back.
Starring Kevin Sussman, John Ross Bowie, Lauren Lapkus
Next season
Season 2announced, no date yet
Weekly, 10 episodes, last aired Thu, 24 Sept 2026
Is it for me?
Genre fans get a loose, absurd sci-fi comedy that jokes about its own plot holes, with or without Big Bang Theory history. In Stuart's shop, customers pay for comics with canned goods. Kevin Sussman plays him as a well-meaning bumbler who keeps making the wrong call, and Lauren Lapkus gives Denise easy chemistry with him. The opening credits get sillier every week.
Before you start
The opener is the slow one; after it each short episode visits a new universe and ends by leading into the next.
1 season, 10 episodes, 20 min each, about 3 hours so far
