Tonight at 9p on CBS, no race, religion, sex, sexual preference or political view is safe on Superior Donuts. When Franco (Jermaine Fowler) feels that Arthur’s (Judd Hirsch) flour guy (Brian Doyle Murray) is making a racist comments towards him, the employee decides to fire him without his boss’ permission. Now Franco must find a new flour person quickly because they need it to make the donuts for the Gay Pride parade that is coming up. Luckily, Franco finds someone but that person makes disparaging comments towards someone else in the restaurant. Strike two, so Sofia (Diane Guerrero) suggests her political correct friends to deliver their flour, but that white powder takes like crap. That is strike three. What will Arthur and Franco do now? You just have to see what happens because it is the perfect ending for an episode that leaves no one unscathed.
What I like about Superior Donuts, it shows all sides of the story to make their point and let’s you decide on what you want to do with it. Sounds serious, but the show is so hysterical and they say humorous lessons stick with you more than ones that are based solely on facts. That way you learn something and don’t feel like you did.
As I was typing this CBS announced that this sitcom along with Man With a Plan both got a full second season pickup. Which means that By the Book will most likely air when 9JKL ends its 16-episode first season run sometime next year. I am still hoping the latter will be back for a second season, but that will only happen if CBS realizes that Life in Pieces is unfunny crap and needs to go away.
