The Donut Man is a Religious Edutainment series created by Rob Evans. It first started in 1981 as "The Donut Repair Club" from a series of music albums and live tours, but it wasn't until the 1990s that it was turned into a series of home video specials.The series is about the Donut Man who runs the Donut Repair Club which consists himself, his friend Duncan (a talking donut) and a group of kids (some of them are Rob Evans' real children). Their job is to help others who are need or help or just down, as the donuts are used to represent life without God and Jesus (due to the fact they have holes in the center). Each episode either revolves the club helping those in need, or someone within the club.The series lasted up until 1997 after the last video was "Duncan's Greatest Hits", which was a a clipshow of Duncan talking about himself. It wasn't until 2017 the series was revived as "Massterpiece Donut Shop" on EWTN. In this series, the Donut Man and Duncan are running the Massterpiece Donut Shop. Unlike the original videos where they're made for any form of Christianity, "Massterpiece" focuses more on Catholicism (Rob Evans converted in 2006). Also the series is mainly set in a few locations unlike the original where they go to different locations. Despite the changes, the videos still give out the same message about God's love. | |

| The Donut Man / int_309edee6 | comment |
Divorce Assets Conflict: Part of the conflict in "The Donut All-Stars" deals with Matt's parents being divorce. His dad was suppose to help coach the team, but he moved away, which Matt feels upset and tells the Donut Man the truth. The latter understands as his parents were divorced at the same age (Rob Evans stated this happened to him in real life) and assures Matt that God will still love him no matter what. | |

Written-In Absence | |
| The Donut Man / int_499499e6 | comment |
Written-In Absence: "After School" is the only video to only feature just one kid from the Donut Repair Club to appear, as the Donut Man tells Duncan that the rest of the gang are meeting others. Considering that the three are trying to help convert the troubled kids at dentition as a new Donut Repair Club, this is understandable. | |

Edible Theme Naming: The series revolves around doughnuts. Rob Evans states that doughnuts are used to represent lives without God and Jesus, and the club is there to help fill the empty hearts with love and passion. | |
