I absolutely love this show. I love the content. It is very up to date and accurate to the African American life in the south. Please continue with this show. David Alan Grier and Loretta Devine are awesome together. I love the relationship they have. It reminds me of the love that I have seen within my parents and other Black relationships that have stood the test of time. I pray that the station keeps this show and give it more advertisement. The comedian Jerrod Carmichael is great, how I myself may have a hard time relating to my siblings on current event. This show is so on point.Tiffany Hoddish is a bit much, but there are some family members that I have are exactly like that.
I got all caught up on season 2 of comedian Jerrod Carmichael's series, and two words keep coming to mind with each episode - Norman Lear. As with his shows of the '70s- "The Jeffersons", "All In The Family", etc.. - this series seems to tackle all the socio-political topics of the day. Each episode takes on a different subject. I won't say this show is knee-slapping hilarious, but it does make you think, and it's definitely not afraid to get all non-PC. Carmichael himself you can tell is still getting his feet wet as an actor, as he has surrounded himself with some heavy-hitters -- film and TV veterans Loretta Devine, David Alan Grier, etc.. so he sometimes can stand out with his acting style. All in all, I'm enjoying this show so far, and am looking forward to what it will tackle next.
The Carmichael Show is awesome. I love the way they show different points of view within the same family. People can disagree and still respect each others opinions, of course since it's family you're going to be teased and tested and that's part of what makes this show REAL - -more REAL in fact, than reality TV.
NBC's new comedy, "The Carmichael Show", is a sitcom played before a live audience. Co-creator and comedian Jerrod Carmichael plays the role of Jerrod, a young man whose girlfriend, Maxine (Amber Stevens West), has just moved into his apartment.
He introduces her to his parents--Joe (David Alan Grier) and Cynthia (Loretta Devine). Joe is never afraid to make his opinions known. He might remind you of a kindler and gentler Fred Sanford. Cynthia is clearly not the voice of reason. When giving advice, she leads with the Bible, and maybe Beyoncé ("Put a ring on it!"). Ms. Devine plays off-kilter characters so well, going all the way back to her role as Marla in "Boston Public". Once in a while, she gets to use that golden singing voice.
Jerrod's little brother Bobby (LilRel Howery) is constantly playing for his father's affection as if Joe might have a dynasty to leave him in his will. The other main character is Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish), Bobby's ex or soon-to-be ex--it's hard to tell, but we know they intend to go their separate ways if they can just finalize the arrangements. Meanwhile, they snipe at each other in a co-dependent way.
The show is centered in black culture, but it speaks to a broader audience. Cynthia says, "Sometimes black people have a tendency to jump to conclusions" and you know it's true, but you know it applies to all of society.
The cast of characters covers the spectrum of political and social viewpoints. Maxine is drinking the left's Koolaid, as if she just graduated from a liberal arts college. Cynthia voices the opinions of the religiously conservative and politically liberal crowd. Joe is something of a pragmatist--a black man who understands the realities of his world and understands that changes come, though slowly. Jerrod is the calm voice of reason--calling out his mother and father for their limited opinions--but also a cynic. He doesn't vote or engage in social protest because he knows the opinion of one man does not matter. Bobby has few opinions of his own and Nekeisha will find a way to justify anything that benefits her.
This range of character outlooks allows the show to approach any topic with balance, which is good because the writers address all of the hot subjects--police shootings, the Trump presidency, the Confederate flag controversy and transgender issues, for example.
I could do with fewer jokes about light skins, but the show aims to represent society as it is, so they are appropriate. Maybe Maxine will take enough ribbing about her skin tone and demand her full due as a black woman. Or maybe she will stand up for her mixed race heritage and point out that she is the way of the future.
But the jokes come first and "The Carmichael Show" has its share. I am hoping that future episodes have more laugh out loud moments, though I am content with the show as it is.
Update 8/15/17: The show is into its third season and it has maintained its balance-- something that is not easy to do. I am upping my grade to "9".

It was refreshing to watch a scripted sitcom, which parallels my experience as a southern-born first-generation African American college graduate. The humor, the values, and the political commentary juxtaposed against their faith takes me back home with every episode! I have absolutely loved both Loretta Devine and David Allen Grier for decades. Few actors can match the comedic expression of David's facial lines and raised eyebrow. The multi-talented Loretta Devine with her soulful voice is the perfect cast for the southern mother.
It has been difficult over the past decade or so to find a sitcom that both me and my extended family can relate to in this new age of "politically correct" and "millennial- centered" sitcoms ("Modern Family", "New Girl", "Big Bang Theory"). While I enjoy both New Girl and Big Bang Theory, I appreciate the NBC network for airing a show which reaches the often forgotten middle-age to older American audience. This show clearly reminds me that there is a great need for multiple voices and experiences to be expressed on network TV. I look forward to seeing the career path that the talented writer/actor Jerrod Carmichael will take.
