Mr. Robinson - Wednesdays at 9:00PM & 9:30PM ET/PT on NBC
Premieres Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 9:00PM & 9:30PM ET/PT

As lead singer and keyboardist of the funk band Nasty Delicious, Craig knows a thing or two about working the crowd, but his day job is where he really makes the grade. Every struggling artist knows the drill: You've got to pay the bills while you wait for that big break. It's a constant struggle for Craig, having one foot in the music world with his band, Nasty Delicious, and having one foot in the teaching world. But if Craig wants to get the girl of his dreams and teach these kids the joys of music, he'll have to buckle down, shape up and get the funk out.

Mr. Robinson Would Have Been a Good Sitcom 20 Years Ago

Craig Robinson’s new sitcom, which reunites him with Office boss Greg Daniels is not great, not but; it’s just okay, says Matt Zoller Seitz. "Twenty years ago, a show like this might’ve run for four seasons,” he says, "because most people treated TV as an appliance and didn’t especially care what flickered across their screens as long as it was competently executed and either awful or not too intellectually demanding. This one hits the old-broadcast-network sweet spot, and unfortunately that means it’s not good enough.” PLUS: Mr. Robinson is a frustrating waste of Robinson’s talents, and it may be the saddest show of the summer.
