Do you think Superior Donuts will be a huge hit for CBS? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As you know Superior Donuts debuts tomorrow on CBS and I think CBS really has high hopes for Superior Donuts because during today's Let's Make a Deal episode every single advertisement was for Superior Donuts and so I think CBS will have a hit on their hands with this awesome sitcom
Will you watch Superior Donuts tomorrow?

I saw the debut episode of Superior Donuts a minute ago and I thought it was so cool and really awesome plus it was great fun to see Katey Segal in the role of a police officer and really makes the show great. On the show itself Superior Donuts really is in one word Superior and the other characters really bring the show to life and adds a true uniqueness to the show. I was really impressed with Superior Donuts and I think CBS is destined to give it another season and it is such an awesome sitcom that really delivers the laughs

I wonder if anybody else got the sense that this show is sort of like an updated version of Chico & the Man but in a donuts shop? There's a grouchy old guy, in this case Jewish instead of Anglo and an enthusiastic, enterprising young black guy instead of a Latino.

I think Superior Donuts was impressive and really cool and I think Superior Donuts will be here to stay because it's a happy and wonderful sitcom and one of CBS's best sitcoms to come out in years
I'm glad you enjoyed it TMC

I saw the first episode, it was OK, I agree the basic idea behind the show is similar to Chico And The Man. Don't know if the show will be a hit or not, time will reveal the answer to that.

It was cute. I don't think it's the show of the year, though

mets82 · 02-05-2017, 04:22 PM

Doubtful. I give it 10 episodes.

i got that sense after the first 10 minutes

The show has potential, but work needs to be done, I hope the show gets enough time to smooth out the rough edges. Judd Hirsch and Katey Sagal are pros who know how to get the job done. Carl (David Koechner) could be the break out character, Maya and Fawz (Anna Baryshnikov and Maz Jobrani respectively) seem to be working into their parts.

The bad news in all this is Jermaine Fowler (Franco), I don't think he has his character down yet and if he can't get where he needs to be the show is doomed.

I'd love to see this show make it.

I thought I was the only one! Both shows are awesome. I've put SD on Series Record on my DVR.

It's doing ok. I love the show. Now, my cousin worker is friend to the male actor who portrays the black cop who told him that the show was destined to get a season two otherwise since Judd Hirsch and Katey Sagal were on board. So, it was pretty much in the bag.
