The Carmichael Show (2015)
Hope I Get to Love This Show
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.
