    I love this show. It reminds me of the Roseanne show. The parents, Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier, are hilarious. Jerrod is great and the brother is a black version Drew Carey. Highly recommended!

    Very surprising GOOD comedy!
    Wasn't expecting much going into this show to be honest. Most comedy shows these days have the same ol' sex oriented jokes and just get cheesy really fast. This show hits on today's major issues but keeps it funny! Definitely deserves higher than the User Score of 4.8 (as of 9/16)

    This show is hysterical. As a black guy I really love the thorough blackness of the show. My parents are religious and I totally relate. It's smart for a sitcom and does a good job hitting on relevant topics.

    Cannot say enough amazing things about this fantastic show. Hilarious, intelligent, edgy, perfectly cast. I look forward to this show every week, every season so far. Have yet to be disappointed! I can't wait to see what the rest of season 3 has to offer. Comic relief in the middle of the work week with this show is highly recommended!

    More thought-provoking than the typical current sitcom and with more laughs per half-hour than most, The Carmichael Show deserves more than a short summer run.

    Although the series is not as philosophically unsettling or politically unpredictable as his stage comedy, which gambols in the depths of human self-deception, it is unusually topical and thematically pointed for a people-on-a-couch comedy in the year 2015.

    The Carmichael Show improves as it goes, especially when veteran performers Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier come on screen.
