It documented The Store's origins well, and it profiled the most famous comics from the '70s and '80s well. Then it sort of lost the thread. The last few episodes are scattershot and disorganized.
It glossed over every decade since the '80s to focus on the present-- you will learn details about every unknown regular and perpetual open micer that you didn't want. I know from listening to The Comedy Store's podcast that there are MUCH more interesting stories about obscure names from the '90s and '00s-- stories that director Binder could have discovered if he had done cursory research about them.
This doc often unexpectedly bored me.
