    The show is just far too predictable, not funny and the characters are so stereotype that it's almost sad. A big disappointment as it was a great idea.

    Mr. Robinson is hardly the worst sitcom on television currently but is pretty darn awful. Feels like a throwback to the 80's or 90's and the jokes are just about as stale. NBC's lack of comedy successes continues unabated. Good thing Coach is coming to turn their comedy fortunes around :)

    It's been an incredibly odd summer for comedies. It feels like many of them have been odd throwbacks to another era. I could see "Mr. Robinson" succeeding on TGIF in the 1990s, or as part of a comedy block in that era. But in 2015, it feels retro in an odd way. I loved Craig Robinson on "The Office" and in other projects, and he's still a likeable leading man, but this sitcom constructIt's been an incredibly odd summer for comedies.

    What an embarrassment for TV and NBC! silly, stupid, predictable, rehashed material. A teacher comes in to the break room proudly lamenting that one of her students answered the "which weighs more? two tons of this or 2000 lbs of that" question by drawing a dick/penis for the answer. Another teacher chimes in with his two cents worth about the dick/penis being to scale ---or some suchWhat an embarrassment for TV and NBC! silly, stupid, predictable, rehashed material.

When writers have to resort to "penis" jokes in order to get a reaction from a laugh-track, it's time to switch to the Natl Geographic channel to watch a herd of cape buffalo cross a river. It's more interesting. When is prime time TV going to grow up?… Expand

    Mr. Robinson is just pretty goddamn awful and I'm completely embarrassed for both NBC and Craig Robinson. The jokes, if you can call them that, are predictable and just plain flat. I predict a cancellation in Mr. Robinson's near future.

    For every charming and genuinely funny moment--and there is a fair amount--there is a lazy sitcom trope that stunts Mr. Robinson and depletes it of its promise.

    Mr. Robinson is not great, not bad; it’s just okay.

    Mr. Robinson is not horrible; or when it is, it is only in passing. (The cast is good, there are some laughs.) It just feels weak and fatally retrograde.
