Honestly, such a shame. There was a very unique and comforting style of single-camera sitcom that existed roughly from 2005-2021 that NBC really pioneered that began with The Office and 30 Rock, continued with Community and Parks & Recreation, and finally ended with Brooklyn 99. It was very much shaped by the events of the late 2000s and the 2010s and there isn't a true spiritual successor. AP Bio and Superstore seem similar, but just don't really capture the same feeling.
It was generally light-hearted and effortlessly bingeable while also being great background noise in a way earlier sitcoms with laugh tracks and open-faced studio sets simply weren't. They weren't the most emotionally satisfying TV, but their (hopefully temporary) goodbye has left a hole in my heart.
