I have watched this show sense the premiere episode and I absolutely love it and I am white yes they joke about white folks a lot but that's the point YOU NEED A Sense OF HUMOR to enjoy the show properly I love the characters they are very realistic and hilarious my favorite is the mother but everyone else is great too the father is equally charming and funny though if you do watch it.warning. the show centers on sensitive subjects a lot and you might want to play it by ear and try it. But I don't think I have been offended really yet I say watch it you might even see your own family in the family

I didn't know what to expect. A lot of TV shows (some sitcoms and popular reality shows especially) appeal to the lowest common denominator. I watched the pilot because all of my current shows are on hiatus for the summer and I needed something to do while I ate dinner. Wow, what a refreshing surprise this was! And it got better and better with each ensuing episode. it takes a lot to make me laugh, but The Carmichaels consistently makes me laugh. The show features a cast (the Carmichael family) that is quick to feel at home with, and I am duly impressed by the brilliant writing. I love that the dialogue is not trite, and that it is deliciously daring. One show, for example, launches the family into debate mode when Jerrod comes home with tickets to a Cosby performance. There is no tiptoeing around this, or any other issue – they come right out and argue about Cosby's indiscretions vs his comedic talent. And it's amazing how brilliantly the writers handle these hot issues. The family is always split on their views – sometimes reversing their views in the process – but always working it out with rare diplomatic skills. Whether the subject is disgraced celebrities or political right vs left, it never offends, and always makes you laugh. This is All In The Family, only better! All in the Family was more contentious and often made me feel uncomfortable. Archie Bunker was a "lovable" curmudgeon who also happened to be ignorant, bordering on hateful. Ditto for his neighbor (and spin-off sitcom star) George Jefferson. Plus, they only alluded to the issues and individuals of the time in a more generic manner. Not so the Carmichaels! The Carmichaels come right out and tackle real life topics and people – by name!I can't wait to see who/what The Carmichaels dish up in their living room next.. I know it's going to make me laugh (but never cringe). Now THAT's a fine art that takes some real skill by gifted writers and performers!

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.

There is something about this show I really like. I absolutely love the parents and the brother. The brother and wife relationship is funny also. The two main characters, however, are just okay. Jerrod's delivery is dry, as someone else already stated. It may be good for stand up but there isn't much difference between his comedic and serious lines.The episodes were just jam-packed with way too much for a half hour; the season packed with too many big issues and back to back episodes every week. Too much too soon. I would have enjoyed it more with less. I would have had more time to savor the really funny punch lines that kind of get lost in the episode.The premise of the the pilot alone could have made for a whole season's worth of material. They could have divided some of those other big issues into smaller bits and incorporated them throughout the season.All that being said, I like it. There's some really good acting and comedy there. I just hope it gets better so I can love it.
