Storyline: This half-hour, single-cam comedy follows Donald Jameson (DJ)as he uses his unique leadership style to make One More Time Sports in Korverton, Ontario, a community destination and profitable enterprise in the modern age of online shopping and big box stores. DJ’s business acumen isn’t the keenest, but his perseverance and desire to make everyone feel special in every interaction make him beloved by his employees and customers. He also wears hearing aids, which can lead to unique situations, including confusing interactions with customers, employees quickly whispering secrets to each other in his presence, and DJ not hearing fire alarms while everyone is evacuating the store… to name just a few. But these setbacks do not bother DJ. His emphasis on positivity and community sets the tone for the whole store as he and his team band together to solve the day-to-day challenges of running a small business with ingenuity and an underdog mentality. Brooklyn 99 meets Ted Lasso in One More Time, a show that proves a semi-qualified, deaf manager can lead a used sporting goods store to the promised land.
