What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, The Carmichael Show stars Jerrod Carmichael, Amber Stevens West, David Alan Grier, Lil Rel Howery, and Loretta Devine. This topical comedy series is loosely inspired by star and co-creator Jerrod Carmichael’s life. His opinionated North Carolina family consists of Jerrod (Carmichael); his old-school dad, Joe (Grier); devout mom, Cynthia (Devine); progressive girlfriend, Maxine (Stevens West); and brother Bobby (Howery). Through these characters, the show explores current societal themes, including race, police protests, guns, and religion.

Telly’s Take
To be honest up front, I’m not sure why The Carmichael Show was renewed for a third season. Its first season ratings were low, yet still respectable, for a summer series. So then, NBC moved it to the mid-season for the second installment, but instead of picking up viewers, its ratings dropped precipitously. The Peacock Network later renewed it for a third season and slated it for summer, once again. The numbers are down once again. I suspect the show will be renewed once again but it could easily be cancelled. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and will update this page as need be.
