On Wednesday (August 3) NBC premieres its new comedy Mr.Robinson starring Craig Robinson from The Office. Here is the basic story as
well as a trailer:
Every struggling artist knows the drill: you have to pay the
bills while you wait for that big break. So when Craig finds himself short on
cash, he takes a job as a substitute high school music teacher. It's an easy
gig, right? Yet when he realizes the kids think his class is an easy A, Craig's
moved to inspire his students.
The school principal (Peri Gilpin, "Frasier")
believes that rules are made to be strictly upheld. She's none too fond of
Craig's unorthodox teaching style, or his crush on the pretty English teacher
(recurring guest star Meagan Good, "Think Like a Man"). It's a
constant struggle for Craig, having one foot in the music world with his band,
Nasty Delicious, and having one foot in the teaching world. But if Craig wants
to get the girl of his dreams and teach these kids the joys of music, he'll
have to buckle down, shape up and get the funk out.
So far I am not reading much in the way of praise for the
show, and it appears NBC ordered only six episodes to date. Tonight may be the start of something fun and
funky, or a slow disaster pushing Mr. Robinson into the background again.
