    Nice Show

    Lots 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).

    Definitely, laughable

    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.

    Love this show

    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.

    Rare to get a good wholesome show these days...

    It really is rare to get a good wholesome show on TV these days. The pace of the show is very smooth and the content is not raunchy or over the top like you see in a lot of other shows these days. I would go so far as to say that you could probably watch this as a family.

    The stereotypes are funny, but they're not offensive. A Jewish donut shop owner, working with a black guy, and a middle eastern business owner next door who all make cracks on each other all around. It's downright funny.

    The show itself addresses real life issues like stereotyping, racism, and the decline of small business as it's overshadowed by corporate America. The show conquers these issues in a funny, yet respectable way and the way they bring these issues to light to viewers is well thought out and not offensive.

    I really think viewers would be missing out if they didn't at least give the show a chance. My family was hooked from episode 1 and we plan to watch if for as long as it airs.

    Great comedy

    This 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.
