Mr. Robinson

Craig Robinson is a musician leading a funk band playing in a club. He gets a substitute music teaching job to try to win over his ex Victoria Wavers (Meagan Good). It starts off as nothing to him but he soon finds satisfaction in teaching the kids and making friends with some of the other teachers.

I love Craig Robinson and I wish this show isn't so bad. The writing is horrible and all of Craig's charisma can't save it. In fact, Craig is more of a crutch for the show. This school sitcom is easy familiar territories. I think Craig could make that work if he's given the material. The kids have no standouts. The music is a waste of time and only brings the show to a grinding halt. The familiar school teacher sitcom does lead to a couple of smirks but it is no more than that. The show is too uneven and awkwardly unfunny at times.
