    This is a formulaic, laugh-track comedy that wastes the talents of its actors--Katey Sagal is a sharp-tongued Chicago cop--who deliver inane, see-them-coming-from-a-mile-away one-liners.

    I like Judd Hirsch and I tuned in just to see him.
    Sadly, this show is not nearly good enough to give it a pass.

    Sadly, this show is not nearly good enough to give it a pass.
    It feels too calculated and uninspired. An old white guy with a young fast talking black guy.
    Felt a little too stereotypical.
    If it just were funny enough, I could have accepted all that, but it isn't.
    It's run of the mill, a couple of oneliners and that's it.
    Katey Sagal is in it, but she doesn't get good lines or a lot to do.
    David Koechner is a bit more lucky, getting better lines.
    I liked Maz Jobrani, though.
    Still, the main characters and the supporting cast can't pull the show out of its mediocrity, to say it kindly.

Judd Hirsch can be funny, as he proved in Taxi, when surrounded by a talented cast. Unfortunately Hirsch doesn't have the "Sunshine Cab Company" ensemble with this show. Instead of "Superior Donuts" the donuts are a bit stale.… Full Review »
