This news ought to put “Superstore” fans on Cloud 9: America Ferrera is returning to the NBC comedy for its March 25 series finale.

Fear not, “Superstore” fans: Amy (America Ferrera) will get the sendoff she deserves — whenever TV production is able to happen again, at least.
Yeah, we thought that news would put you on Cloud 9.
Executive producers, of which Ferrera is still one (for now), told EW that the slightly shortened Season 5 will not serve as Amy’s farewell. Ferrera will bid the NBC sitcom adieu on the Season 6 premiere.
“It ended up not really being much of a bummer at all because pretty immediately we decided that America would be coming back,” Jonathan Green told Entertainment Weekly. “She really wanted to come back and do the planned finale as our first episode of next season. It was a very quick, mutual decision. There was no back-and-forth about it at all. We were like, ‘This obviously has to happen.’ And so we’ll work around her schedule to make sure that happens,...

Review by Mike Gregory
After watching “Haunting Vallisca,” I approached “‘Christmas in the Clouds with extreme trepidation. I needn’t have worried; I liked this movie from frame one. “Christmas in the Clouds” is a low-key screwball comedy that is so likable that it’s almost unfair. The characters are lovable and the whole movie gives off great warmth. It’s not a laugh-a-minute kind of movie (although there are a good few hearty laughs), but it will leave you with a constant smile on your face. Watching this movie, I was reminded of two movies: “City Island” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” I was surprised at the former association because I hated it and really liked this one. Still, there are similarities in the film’s tone. Why I was reminded of the latter is a little more obvious. Both of them derive a lot of their humor...
