The Carmichael Show is finally back with all new episodes tonight at 9p on NBC. This show is not only groundbreaking, it is a well done masterpiece. Each week they tackle the biggest issues of the day, and defend it with several sides of the arguments. Even defending issues you would never think they defend. This is a show that parents should watch with their teens because it is an important teaching lesson on life.
Tonight’s first episode at 9p deals with what is rape. Maxine’s (Amber Stevens West) friend slept with a guy at a party when she was drunk and thinks she was raped. Now, the family debates was her friend sexually assaulted. Then Bobby (Lil Rel Howery) thinks that he might have raped his date from the night before because they had sex and she was drinking. Ever since they hooked up, she hasn’t returned his calls and texts, and that makes him more convinced he forced himself on her. Did he? You will just have to tune into find out with an episode that really makes you question when is it really rape?
Then at 9:30p, they take on supporting the troops. Joe (David Alan Grier) is all about it, but then he gets a test to prove how far he is willing to go. Meanwhile, when Jerrod’s enemy turns out to be a soldier, he doesn’t want to support him and that leads to family friction. When Bobby talks to that friend, he thinks about signing up for the Armed Forces. How will the Carmichaels feel about that?
Like I said this is a show that should be watched by everyone because it shows all sides of today’s issues and it really makes you think. How many shows not only make you think, but also make you laugh out loud hysterically? None and that is why you should watch!
