It’s time for “Stumble” to set down the pom-poms: NBC has canceled the mockumentary comedy after just one season, TVLine has learned.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0cancellation comes less than two months\u00a0after “Stumble”\u00a0aired its Season 1 finale\u00a0(which now doubles as a series finale) on March 13.<\/p>\n

“Stumble,” which joined NBC’s Friday-night lineup last November,\u00a0starred Jenn Lyon (“Claws”) as Courteney Potter, a successful competitive cheerleading coach who, after getting fired from her previous job, becomes cheer coach at Oklahoma’s\u00a0He\u00e5dltston State Junior College and attempts to get her ragtag squad to the national championship.<\/p>\n

In the freshman finale, the\u00a0He\u00e5dltston State Buttons did compete at the championship in Daytona, Florida, but the squad ultimately finished in third place. In the episode’s final moments, Courteney was shocked to learn that her former cheer coach\u00a0Marg Hargberg (guest star Katey Sagal) \u2014 who served as a judge in Daytona \u2014 was coming out of retirement to coach the\u00a0Sammy Davis Sr. Junior College squad, with plans to take Courteney and the Buttons down in their upcoming season.<\/p>\n
