Sympathetic old-school doughnut-shop owner Arthur, his spunky young employee and aspiring artist Franco, and their friends and patrons keep the shop going in a changing culturally-mixed inner-city Chicago neighborhood.

Jun 15, 2025Predictable comedy not 10 minutes into it and I started thinking Chico and the man, and the character "Fawz" making jokes about Iraqi germ warfare I thought was a little dry. Did anyone else just imagine a bunch of dead kids laying in the streets of Iraq after Saddam Hussein gassed them all? Maybe I'm over critical but that's the 1st thing that came to my mind. I've always liked Judd Hirsch and Kathy Siegel maybe it will get better, I loved Chico and the man!

Jun 15, 2025This show has a classic feel to it. The puns are funny the characters feel authentic. I barely comment on diversity but on this show, everything was so natural that I did not think about it once and it's like no other TV sitcom's out there today which is subtle and one everyone can relate too. I plan to watch it as long as it airs. So I ask everyone reading this review to support it cause there isn't one like it left.

Jun 15, 2025I have always been a fan of Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Dear John) and am thrilled to see him return to sitcom in prime time. As Arthur, Hirsch plays a man who owns a Chicago doughnut shop for 47 years. While Superior Donuts hasn't changed, the neighborhood has over time. Arthur is a widower and hired a young African American man to help him in the shop. Katey Sagal (Married with Children, Sons of Anarchy) returns to prime time as a Chicago cop and regular on the show. The show has some work to do but they have all the right ingredients to be a hit series. The genius, Tracy Letts (playwright of August: Osage County), wrote the play that inspired the series. The play was originally produced by the famous and world renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company, a Chicago institution.

Jun 15, 2025Lots 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).
