Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Steineded How sad is this?

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

chrisdye-62271 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

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.

Hunter Vogt While not every episode of The Carmichael Show's first season was good, all the episodes had good funny moments, and many of them discussed some very real issues. It is far from a perfect show, but if it becomes able to consistently present good episodes that explore serious issues I will be very pleased. While some characters are more entertaining than the others, specifically Jerrod's parents Cynthia and Joe, all have their good moments. From the first season, the forth episode, "Gender", was mediocre, and the second episode, "Protest", was alright, but episode six "Guns" was pretty good, the pilot episode was good, and episodes three and five, "Kale" and "Prayer", were really good. If you want to try out The Carmichael Show, I would start with either "Kale" or "Prayer", and if you like those, watch "Guns", as the order of the episodes does not really matter, and the episodes "Gender", "Protest", and "Guns" are the more strongly issue focused ones. If you like shows that are funny, but also talk about issues that are real, such as protesting, gender identity, and gun control, from a fairly unbiased perspective, then The Carmichael Show is one that you would enjoy.

atlasmb 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".
