Superior Donuts

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.

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!

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.

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.

Just finished the first three episodes of this comedy. Given that I'm a Maz Jobrani fan (and that I've met him in person and watched him live), I have to say he's probably the reason I was even interested in this series. Nevertheless, it's quite funny. The dialogue whilst some may argue is cliché and done before several times, I still think Judd Hirsch brings out a special spark that just makes it funnier.

Crossing my fingers so they don't take this off the air. Jobrani is hilarious in anything he does and Superior Donuts is no exception. I'll certainly be looking forward to this now each week.
