NEW YORK (AP) — Bodies go flying and tumbling in NBC's latest comedy series, “Stumble,” a mocking but loving look at the competitive world of cheer from a brother-and-sister writing team.

Jeff and Liz Astrof have created a mockumentary about a ragtag group of recruits building a cheer team from scratch at a junior college in a tiny Oklahoma town with an unpronounceable name.

“Liz and I both love having heart, and we believe that if you have a really silly comedy like this, it has to be balanced by heart,” says Jeff Astrof.

Jenn Lyon stars as a determined coach who needs to win one more trophy to be crowned the winningest coach in college cheer history. She finds herself in a gym with a dead opossum and some gnarly, would-be team candidates.
