ABC's fish-out-of-water sitcom Suburgatory, starring Jane Levy and Alan Tudyk, is now available to stream for free on Tubi. The series, which aired from 2011 to 2014, follows a teenager adjusting to suburban life and features a cast including Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines.
Suburgatory centers on Tessa Altman, played by Jane Levy, a precocious teenager who relocates from Manhattan to the suburbs with her single father, portrayed by Jeremy Sisto. Alan Tudyk appears as Noah Werner, a quirky dentist who befriends Tessa's father and forms a dad band with him in the show's second season.
The series ran for three seasons on ABC, capturing 2010s cultural touches such as a twee indie-pop theme song, humor about upper-middle-class mothers sipping oversized iced coffees, and jokes involving text messages. Joining Levy, Tudyk, and Sisto are actors Cheryl Hines, Ana Gasteyer, and Chris Parnell.
Critics and audiences have praised the show, giving it an average 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans on Reddit have echoed this sentiment. One user noted, "That show was so funny. Great spin on a lot of old tropes." Another observed Tudyk's pattern in projects, stating, "Things with Alan Tudyk usually are underrated while they're on and appreciated when they're gone. Suburgatory, Powerless, Firefly, Rogue One..."
Originally airing from 2011 to 2014, Suburgatory offers a nostalgic yet fresh take on suburban satire for viewers seeking overlooked gems from the era. It is currently streaming for free on Tubi, making it accessible without a subscription.
