Tracy Morgan Stars in 'Crutch': Paramount+ Spinoff Details & Review
'Crutch,' a new comedy series on Paramount+ and a spinoff of CBS's 'The Neighborhood,' stars Tracy Morgan as Francois 'Crutch' Crutchfield, a Harlem shop owner and widower whose life turns chaotic when his adult children and grandchildren move back into his home. The show, premiering on November 3, 2025, features 8 episodes released simultaneously, and explores themes of family, generational clashes, and community with a mix of humor and heartfelt moments. Morgan, also an executive producer, leads a talented cast including Adrianna Mitchell, Braxton Paul, Finn Maloney, and guest stars like Cedric the Entertainer and Tichina Arnold. The series is filmed before a live studio audience, with a comedic style that includes colorful language and social commentary, reflecting modern family dynamics and cultural issues. The show has received mixed reviews, with praise for Morgan's charm and the cast's performances, but some critics highlight its reliance on lazy jokes and racial stereotypes.
