It was shocking to hear that Fox cancelled this show days before its season three finale. Why ruin the suspense of a show that’s still currently airing? So many people put time and effort into producing this show and yet all the anticipation built over the season is lost when the show is officially cancelled prior to its final episodes. With the show-runners revealing this season had the biggest cliffhanger yet, I decided to review...
Few sitcoms manage to ellipse the ten season mark, but even fewer do so while continuing to create fresh and entertaining content. Television is a medium focused on the characters rather than the stories they are situated in so at some point sitcoms have to become somewhat serialized to maintain not only interest, but show that these people’s lives aren’t just running in place.
When Superior Donuts was renewed for a second season it was surprising. The show has a great cast, but the stories never really wowed and there was little to no development in any of the characters. However, it was a typical procedural sitcom that had archetypal characters reacting to topical situations so surely a second season could fix those problems right?
