Apparently, Mr. Robinson, NBC’s other sitcom that debuted this summer, is now the 2nd highest.
As it premiered in the summer, the premiere of The Carmichael Show starring Jerrod Carmichael was making us a little anxious in how it would fare.
Fortunately, an estimated 4.8 million people watched the series premiere, which are numbers that networks haven’t seem during summer in almost a decade.
We’re not exactly sure whether it’s Jerrod having an HBO special, the search for the next great multi-cam sitcom, or perhaps the notion that The Carmichael Show isn’t going to shy away from controversial subject matter like Ferguson having to do with this good first outing, but we hope that it all fuels the show to avoid getting the ax.
