Superior Donuts

This show has a lot going for it! Judd Hirsch, Katey Sagal just to name two.

Reasonable comedy, OK jokes, etc.

However, the one character I DO NOT see as viable to the mix, is the blonde girl who is always sitting at the same table. She interjects, between jokes and, in my opinion, does NOTHING to add to this show! Her character is boring! Please take her out if this show makes it to a second season!

It really is rare to get a good wholesome show on TV these days. The pace of the show is very smooth and the content is not raunchy or over the top like you see in a lot of other shows these days. I would go so far as to say that you could probably watch this as a family.

The stereotypes are funny, but they're not offensive. A Jewish donut shop owner, working with a black guy, and a middle eastern business owner next door who all make cracks on each other all around. It's downright funny.

The show itself addresses real life issues like stereotyping, racism, and the decline of small business as it's overshadowed by corporate America. The show conquers these issues in a funny, yet respectable way and the way they bring these issues to light to viewers is well thought out and not offensive.

I really think viewers would be missing out if they didn't at least give the show a chance. My family was hooked from episode 1 and we plan to watch if for as long as it airs.

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.

I've only seen the first two episodes of this new CBS sitcom starring TV legend, Judd Hirsh, and so far, so good. This, in many ways is your classic "workplace comedy", with an assortment of characters -- in this case set in a Chicago old-world-style donut shop. Hirsh plays it's old- school owner who takes in a young protégé to help bring his place (and himself?) into the new century!

One character I find particularly amusing is played by David Koechner. He plays a laid-off factory worker, who now works an assortment of different "for-hire" jobs, and has his own portable fax machine! LOL

There's nothing wrong with "Superior Donuts". It reminds me of "Cheers" with an ensemble cast of customers who seem to spend their lives at the store, each with their own backstory. Judd Hirsh plays the main character and Jermaine Fowler is his main foil. Chewing the scenery are Maz Jobrani, David Koechner, and Darien Sills-Evans.

The action takes place almost exclusively inside the donut store, which can get a little claustrophobic after a while. Most really good comedies today (Big Bang, Life in Pieces, Fresh Off the Boat, Mom) give us a variety of places and situations, so the single-set Donut store seems a little retro.

Most of the comedies I enjoy nowadays have much snappier dialogue. Donuts generates snickers and a few laughs, but rarely anything else. And the few attempts at "meaningful" moment s really fall flat.

Superior donuts is not superior, but it's OK.
