    Just looking at that image makes me want to hurl. See this dude on Morning Joe every now and then - self-aggrandizing, etc. etc. His show? Come on USA. You've done so much better. Mr. Robot, Suits, Burn Notice. Now Donny? ugh

    I could've done better recording with a rock, that doesn't even record. This show is just so bad. I literally lost knowledge after watching this show. I'm surprised this wasn't produced by Adam Sandler.

    Translation: I have lost my sanity and all knowledge of the English dictionary and grammar after having watched this season. None should watch this unless they want to literally loose mental stability and all knowledge. Please don't watch this. 0/10

    I may have seen a worse show in my 74 years but if so, it must have been before my conscious memory. This show is embarrassingly unfunny not to mention boring.

    Strangely enough, I find this series sexually arousing in a very intimate way. Can't say im going to watch this anymore due to its aphrodisiac-like affect on me.

    Losing brain cells and being aroused by something like this is downright dumb. I ended up with my dick in a tree.

    I am not sure what these reviewers are looking for. Do they think they where going to get something intellectual or informative? It is just a funny, slightly crude, decently acted comedy with a whole lot of laugh out loud moments.

    Maybe it's because I watched with low expectations, but I found it funny and look forward to future episodes.

    ProGamer7 claims he watched the season, but there had only been one episode when the review was written.

    It's just funny .. don't look for too much folks ... it's just funny.    … Expand

    OK...is it natural to want to route against a guy worth millions and who then stars in his own tv show? Sure it is. But once you get past the desire to see an already successful guy publicly fail, there is a very, very funny show here. Donny is surrounded my women who call him on his BS and at least 75% of the scenes make fun of him in a way that made me laugh both at him and with him.OK...is it natural to want to route against a guy worth millions and who then stars in his own tv show?

This supporting cast of women is absolutely hilarious (his new assistant and producer are standouts) and the show has a really fresh point of view. It is ironic without being cynical and the comedy is broad without being dumb. My favorite underdog show of the year!… Expand

    This show has A very limited,repetitive formula to it.As far as the character goes,I like Donny Deutsche and He comes off as believable an d real to Me.However,the same old archetype of An older egotistical television

    obsessed with himself and Women gets tiresome when essentially that's the premise every single episode.Ronny's assistance (four younger Women by the way) is what truly makes the show worth watching in my opinion.Their counterpoints to his misguided crusades and the results of them is what makes the show truly funny.I would love for the show to focus A few episodes on just one of them or maybe focus one Ronny's Russian Girlfriend.In other words,the supporting cast is what makes Ronny funny as A catalyst to all of Ronny's shenanigans.Ronny himself is interesting and funny,but his story lines are just A cookie cutter scenario.One-Ronny does or says something offensive on his show or in social media,two-some is offended,three-he gets lectured by his assistance,four-He attempts to apologize or make amends,five-no one really believes him and six he is ashamed and rinse and repeat for 3/4 of all the episodes.

    This show is entertaining and quite funny at times,but the reason for the modest score is that so many of the episodes are alike interchangeable that there's just not enough uniqueness after the third episode.I hope Season two will explore some different possibilities like perhaps him temporarily moving his show in the show to Hollywood or having it cancelled and he shops around for A new network and hi-jinks ensue.The bottom line is that there needs to be better writing and more diverse story lines and characters for this show to continue any further.    … Expand

    On “Curb,” audiences can relate to life’s minutia as dissected by its lead, as he tackles everything from rude manners to a bloated sense of self. Donny! is more difficult to relate to, but at just six episodes, that might be OK.

    There's little in Donny! that's surprising or unpredictable but as "soft-scripted" comedies go, it has the occasional funny moment. But mostly it's just another comedy with a cringeworthy Dumb Daddy (Donny Deutsch) lead character that's easily skippable.

    "Donny!" would be as bad as you could imagine except ... it exceeds even your imagination.
