5 Reasons Why 'Sherman's Showcase' Is Must-See TV

There’s an amazing new sketch comedy show in town and it’s called, “Sherman’s Showcase!”

“Sherman’s Showcase” travels through time via music and clips drawn from the forty-year library of a legendary (fictional) musical variety show.

The series is inspired by shows like “Solid Gold”, “Soul Train” and “Laugh-In”.

Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin are the creative geniuses behind “Sherman’s Showcase,” which is executive produced by John Legend’s Get Lifted Film Co.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Diallo about “Sherman’s Showcase” and he said:

The show is bonkers!

I think one of the things that I like about the show is we decided early on – I used to love that show ‘Community’ and I used to like how they would have stories happening in the background of shots. If you really paid attention, those things would always pay off.

For me, the idea that Sherman was traveling through time and we never addressed the fact that he wasn’t aging up or down until the final episode…I wanted to give viewers a big pay off.

After binging the entire first season of “Sherman’s Showcase,” I feel I am totally equipped to give you 5 reasons why you must watch this show.
