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.

Unoriginality plagued this show, and it was often boring. There were a few funny parts of the show, such as the songs at the beginning of the first two episodes and the PE teacher, but these were not enough to make me stick around for more than three episodes. Each of the episodes that I watched was worst than the last. The first episode was bad, the second and third were very bad. While the other teachers at the school that Craig teaches at (minus his love interest and not including the principal) are decently funny, the other characters are not. In two of the three episodes I watched, it took too long to set up the episode's plot, and the main storyline for each of the episodes was something done a million times before in other sitcoms. There is very little originality in Mr. Robinson, and really no reason that I would recommend it to anyone.

OK so I have watched the first two episodes of this show and I am kinda sad to say that I really am not likening it I am sad because the ideas great Craig is a good actor and comedien just doesn't seem to work I wish Craig had a better chance he really is a likable guy but this show sucks big time I am. Watching the 3rd episode now because of nothing eles being on but it still isn't really doing it for me I liked Craig on the office this is the end etc but he can't even fix this stinker its sad as I Sayed I wanted him to Achieve great success but this isn't the way its looking so I say skip it trust me I know funny and this isn't it

The show is mildly funny, but Craig Robinson could do better. The show format is regressive, it feels like something that would have been made 10 -15 years ago - complete with the male Asian character that is effeminate and constantly ridiculed. According to IMDb, the only writers listed are white. Not surprising. With Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, shows like the great but canceled too soon Outsourced, aren't we passed all this? The two writers do look like the type of douche bags that would have picked on Asian kids in high school (dude, hi-five bro!)The show started out funny and promising when it was all Craig Robinson making music. Then they introduced the rest of the cast and it got dumb real quick. Again, this show is racist towards the Indian character on the show.
