Superior Donuts

Arthur Przybyszewski (Judd Hirsch) is the longtime grumpy owner of Superior Donuts in a poor Chicago neighborhood. Business is stagnate and greedy developer Fawz (Maz Jobrani) is trying to buy him out. Arthur hires young graffiti artist Franco Wicks (Jermaine Fowler) eager to improve the business. The regular customers include college student Maya (Anna Baryshnikov), laid off factory worker 'Tush' Tushinski (David Koechner), beat cop daughter of Arthur's late best friend Randy DeLuca (Katey Sagal) and her new partner James Jordan (Darien Sills-Evans). There is also Franco's slacker friend Sweatpants (Rell Battle). The second season has Sofia (Diane Guerrero) moving in with her new age food truck.

This is an old fashion workplace sitcom. It's well supported by a few sitcom veterans. I had no expectations from this and it manages to clear the low bar. Jermaine Fowler has a nice easy happy charming personality. They figured out how to give him a rom-com partner in the second season. They slow play that romance but it has potential. It's not the best show around but it's a solid network sitcom. It's canceled after 2 seasons which is good enough for what it delivers.

Now this is comedy. The way the owner and the kid engage is really cool. I like the old guy because he is cranky and difficult and I like the kid because well I just like him. He reminds me of Reno on Mike and Molly. Don't get me started on that UPSET though. This show I hope will make up for my Mike and Molly rip off. I think Katy will make a splashing comeback in this sitcom that is well suited for her. And the Starbucks guy is funny as well. Iim looking forward to this weekly and hope it does well and stays on the air. I hope that this show gets placed in a good time slot and gets good ratings. I need the laughs and this show hits me in all the right places. My stomach usually hurts from laughing after watching. Really Really good show.

What i hate the most is the review process that this website makes you go through. THis place bites. I just want to tell everyone to watch the show not get hyper-regulated.

The first season of this was great - like most who LOVED it - I loved it within the first two episodes. I knew I loved before the opening 'credits' of the first episode. The only character that was out of place was Maya... I really loved the first season, great to see Judd Hirsch back. He had a lot to work with in the first season... Then I started season 2 and it's trash. Losing two cast members and adding a latina character that added nothing - I REALLY don't like her - I'm just not diggin it. The 2 second season was all whiny baby PC crap - and Hirsh has nothing to do. James Burrows direction in the first season - I can see now - was a BIG reason it succeeded but man season 2 is flat and preachy. I love the laugh track (anyone over 40 should feel comfy with it, kids today have taught to hate it) and performances in the first season but season 2 is painful after the first 2 episodes. It really has lost it's way and I'd almost say don't even bother after season 1... VERY disappointed with season 2, it seems like a totally different show now... I'm almost ready to bow out - I'm really torn cuz I'm so happy to have Judd back. The entire cast deserved better - and so did we.

Lots of Love/Hate for this little show with lots of heart. It translates well across the pond. Thought i would make that clear. Two show's with heart are "Superior Donuts" and "Kim's Convenience" as for the other comedy shows i have seen in the last 3 years.. none compare. As a former stand up and sinner of stage and screen by far the best acting. Cliche's sure but not swearing to get laughs, no outrageous sexual deviance for laughs. Clean is a much harder form of comedy.. a little campy is cool. Times have changed as ethics are a thing of the past with comics.. a true comic uses timing not "f" bombs. Kudos on those shows trying hard to bring back playful and endearing happiness, something much needed everywhere. Happy humor is my choice for a winning shoe (w).

They've learned one thing after season 1. Getting rid of the bad apples. And that they did, too bad that wasn't the only thing making the show unwatchable.

Political Correctness simply killed this show.
