There is still one solitary Blockbuster store, in Bend, Oregon (Wiki-diki), a onetime farm-team city for MLB's Phillies...

And after Netflix did a docu about it released early in '21, they've turned that into a sitcom made at Universal, originally announced in November (Nellie)...

Execs are David Caspe, Jackie Clarke and Vanessa Ramos ("Superstore," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"), and the cast is led by Randall Park ("Fresh Off The Boat", Peacock's "True Story..." with Ed Helms) and another 'Nine-Niner, Melissa Fumero... recent Caesars pitchman JB Smoove is among the co-stars...
