Donny hosts a daytime talk show, on which he appears to live a perfect life. In his off-camera life, though, things don't go so smoothly for Donny. The single father faces his biggest obstacles in the dating world. This sitcom takes a look at such topics as wealth, the media, and modern romance through the eyes of Donny, a character based on the life of former CNBC host and ad-agency executive Donny Deutsch, who plays the title character. In a nod to his advertising days, Deutsch breaks the proverbial fourth wall in each episode to plug a sponsor's product.

2/5
"Soft-scripted" series is crass and unfunny. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 11/11/2015
Donny wears tight t-shirts that he takes off a lot, and sometimes he carries a dumbbell around for no reason other than, perhaps, to prove there is a difference between himself and an actual dumbbell. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 11/11/2015
Mostly it's just another comedy with a cringeworthy Dumb Daddy (Donny Deutsch) lead character that's easily skippable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
