13083130, Carmichael Show nowhere near as good as Black-ish

The Carmichael Show has it's moments, but like said above, Jerod is easily the weakest link in the show. He's a terrible actor. Plus, I don't like how the show is essentially a conversational-comedy. It's not plot driven in the least. There's an inciting event, and then the rest of the episode is the family sitting in that same living room debating both sides of the topic du jour. It gets old and is not creative at all. DAG and Loretta Devine are all-stars and they do the most with the material. But I feel like the show needs to expand beyond the same, tired premise each episode.

I did a podcast about The Carmichael Show earlier this year. Check it out at the links below if you're so inclined.
