Agree with Qwiss and Quincy on Superstore, it's probably the best non-animated American comedy around at the moment.
I always found John Adams incredibly overrated though, contrary to all the great reviews. It has a reasonably good cast and a decent budget, Stephen Dillane is especially good as Thomas Jefferson, but the story jumps through time in a very incoherent manner and some of the stages of Adams's life and career that they choose to focus on truly boggles the mind. It started out well enough but lost steam just a few episodes in. I think it's a bad show from a technical perspective too. The way they constantly tilt the camera in situations that don't call for it just makes it look like a parody of prestige tv after a while too. It reminded me of what Roger Ebert wrote about Battlefield Earth: "The director has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."
