With 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation and Community all leaving NBC in the past few years, the peacock has been searching for its new, breakout comedy. So far, it hasn't really found it. 

This summer we'll see the premiere of another new NBC comedy, Mr. Robinson. This one will star comedian Craig Robinson, known for The Office and This is the End, as a music teacher at a middle school. Unfortunately, it's a three camera sitcom, and the trailer released from NBC makes really heavy use of the laugh track.

But Craig Robinson is a really funny guy, and the show is executive produced by Greg Daniels of The Office and Parks and Recreation. Will it be yet another NBC comedy that's cancelled pretty much immediately, or could this one have legs?
