From the comedy of Jerrod Carmichael and Nick Stoller ("Neighbors") comes an irreverent sitcom inspired by Jerrod's relationships with his say-anything, contrarian father, his therapist-in-training girlfriend, his ever-hustling brother and his mother who is always, always, always right with Jesus. Taking the next step and moving in together, Jerrod and his girlfriend, Maxine (Amber West), are your average young couple trying to make it in the city. They’re smart, motivated and looking to build a fulfilling life together. The only thing standing in their way is family. Between Jerrod's larger-than-life brother, Bobby (Lil Rel Howery), and his smothering and passionate parents (David Alan Grier, Loretta Devine), Jerrod and Maxine are put to the test navigating the boundaries of romance, family and sanity.

SnoopyStyle Comedian Jerrod Carmichael tackles edgy subject matters every week in this outwardly traditional network sitcom. Maxine (Amber Stevens West) is his liberal therapist girlfriend. His parents (Loretta Devine, David Alan Grier) are opinionated. Bobby (LilRel Howery) is his loser brother and Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish) is Bobby's domineering ex-wife.Carmichael has plenty of fun pushing the hot buttons. It's deliberately subversive. He's able to survive the network overlords for the most part except for the shooting episode. It never really got great ratings which is possibly its saving grace. Maybe none of the suits noticed what they were doing. It's 3 shorten seasons of funny, edgy material.
Bee Wee 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.
kimberella in what world is it okay to publicly announce that my life matters more than yours? NOT MINE. I am respectful of all cultures and races, I believe all lives matter. So why do I turn on my television when I am ready to relax after an insane day of managing social tensions, and have to read the shirt of an actress that says "Black lives matter". I can understand the weight of cultural and racial differences and support EVERYONE who has had to perform their life with "less than". But PLEASE, there are people in this world who fight these battles everyday, on both sides, can we please sit down to dinner with our families and the watch some television that doesn't spew it back in our faces? Can we please take time to enjoy ourselves and our lives no matter what circumstances we are in? I believe the best time to do this is after we have spent the day waging war on the injustices of the world, and rejuvenate ourselves to be able to fight the battle tomorrow. PLEASE NBC... give us quality night time television back so we can relax and go to sleep, and be ready to fight again anew on the morrow? Please don't be offended at this comment, I just want family and recuperation time to come back to the everyday American life. That is MY American dream.
lorne-sal This comedy is a throwback to All in the Family and The Jeffersons. America needs this real bad now. It is needed precisely because it IS all about race in the age of Ferguson, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland etc. It also had me in stitches as it has some of the same perspective as Boondocks, which always cracked me up as well as being deep and insightful. Like Boondocks, it highlights in an entertaining way the predominance of apathy, fear and short sighted viewpoints that stop people from getting out in the streets and confronting injustice and racism. The parents are brilliantly acted, and the disengaged Carmichael is a perfect foil to raise difficult topics. Recommending this to my politically active friends and family.
