Crutch Season 1

"Crutch" is a fresh sitcom that premiered on Paramount+ on November 3, 2025, and immediately reminded us why Tracy Morgan is the king of comedy. At the center is François "Frank" Crutchfield (Morgan), a widower from Harlem who inherits a house in Columbus, Ohio, from his aunt and dreams of a quiet retirement. But plans fall apart when his adult children — millennial son Jake (Jermaine Fowler) and free-spirited daughter Jamila (Adrianna Mitchell) — suddenly move in with him along with grandchildren and chaos. Frank, used to the street life of New York City, must now adapt to suburban realities, family dramas, and unexpected neighbors, including the eccentric Antoinette (Kecia Lewis) and chatty Adrian (Adrian Martinez). Each episode is a burst of humor from cultural clashes, generational disagreements, and warm moments where Frank learns to be a father again. All eight episodes were released at once, so you can dive in without waiting — from the first, where Frank arrives in Ohio and faces reality, to the finale, where family ties undergo a true test. Morgan shines as the grumpy yet loving dad, his improvisations add charm, and Fowler and Mitchell perfectly complement as children bringing modern issues like social media and careers. The creators, including Owen Smith and producer Cedric "The Entertainer," tie the show into the "The Neighborhood" universe, adding crossovers and references. Why will the season be remembered? It mixes Morgan's classic humor with relevant themes — from loneliness in retirement to intergenerational understanding, without excessive sugar but with plenty of laughs. If you're a fan of "The Last O.G." or "30 Rock," it has the same energetic style but in a family format. In an era when people search for "Crutch Season 1 episode release dates," the show delivers a ready binge, perfect for weekends. Review: the 4.9 rating on IMDb reflects polar opinions — some criticize the predictability, but fans praise Morgan for his authenticity and warmth. Downsides: sometimes the jokes are simplistic, but this is compensated by the cast's charisma and short 23-minute episodes. For whom: sitcom lovers about family who want to laugh at life's absurdities without drama. Will there be a continuation? Not announced yet, but Morgan's success and the connection to "The Neighborhood" give chances for a second season in 2026. Watch on Paramount+ to get a dose of positivity and think about your loved ones — after all, family is a support, even if it seems like a burden at first.
