NBC announces summer premiere dates for two new comedies

BY JENNIFER MAAS Posted March 26 2015 — 3:25 PM EDT

NBC will premiere a new hour-long comedy block including the shows Mr. Robinson and The Carmichael Show on Wednesday, Aug. 5, the network announced Thursday.

Mr. Robinson tells the story of Craig (Craig Robinson, The Office), a member of the funk band Nasty Delicious who is forced take a day job as a substitute high school music teacher to pay the bills. He runs into trouble with the no-nonsense principal (Peri Gilpin) and develops a crush on the pretty English teacher (Meagan Good) while trying to balance his band life with his desire to teach the kids the joys of music. The series is inspired by Robinson’s real-life experiences as a music teacher. The half-hour show will air at 9 p.m. ET.

The Carmichael Show is a sitcom created by Jerrod Carmichael and Nick Stoller, inspired by Carmichael’s personal relationships with his “say-anything” father, his girlfriend who is training to become a therapist, his brother (a hustler), and his Jesus-obsessed mother. The show also stars David Alan Grier and Loretta Devine as Jerrod’s father and mother. The sitcom will air after Mr. Robinson at 9:30 p.m. ET.

This show been in production for over a year & now it's finally getting a premiere date.........






I wonder why?

NBC had been eyeing the two series as a block of programming. And given that both stars are black men, it fits in with broadcast TV's current push for diversity that's been further boosted by the success of Fox's Empire and ABC's Black-ish. The scripted pair will serve as a bit of a bridge from summer to fall, airing six episodes a piece, as the reality-heavy season dies down.

Oh you know why...

Jerrod Carmichael got a show?

 

[steadyrighteous]

The fact that they're starting both of them in the "summer" and Jerrod only got a 6 ep order smells like a burning off situation.



Maybe they'll be good, but the fact that they've both been in development for years and gone through changes doesn't bode well.

Jerrod should be in a single cam, not a multi-cam.

It's good to see two hardworking brothers get a shot. Even though late summer is a graveyard for TV, I think the shows may have a good shot, NBC is dire need of shaking up it's comedy lineup.
