"Superior Donuts" Canceled at CBS after 2 Seasons
by Nellie Andreeva
May 12, 2018

It’s official — CBS is not picking up a third season of "Superior Donuts", its multi-camera workplace comedy starring Jermaine Fowler and Judd Hirsch.

After a decent ratings start last spring, goosed by a plum lead-in from "The Big Bang Theory", "Superior Donuts" was renewed for a second season with some casting changes, including the addition of Diane Guerrero, and got a full-season Season 2 pickup last fall.

CBS had been looking to make changes on Monday where the network was once the dominant force with hit comedies and "CSI: Miami" at 10 PM. CBS’ fortunes on the night have declined over the past couple of years, hitting a low point this season. "Superior Donuts" was the lowest rated of the three returning CBS series on Monday which were in a renewal contention, averaging a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating (most recent).

While the cast of the sitcom has been well received, the show didn’t quite gel together.

This stinks! There was so much potential.

I thought it was a pretty decent show with a good cast, don't understand why it was canceled in favor of Life In Pieces which just seems like a complete trainwreck riding off the ratings of whatever show it follows

It wasn't laugh out loud funny. I stopped watching it last year, part way through.

Superior Donuts oddly ended its second season as if they knew they were being cancelled. Franco leaves his girlfriend after Sophia's confession of love and the store is robbed at gunpoint by a homeless man, scaring Arthur into retirement.
