"If you see a dollar bill on the floor, don't pick it up - Tracy Morgan as Frank Crutchfield"

Washington DC, October 6

The makers of actor Tracy Morgan starrer 'Crutch' have released its trailer on Monday. The series is a spinoff of the hit sitcom 'The Neighborhood'. The spinoff is set to premiere on November 3.

Set in the world of the CBS program 'The Neighborhood', the 'Crutch' centres on Francois "Frank" Crutchfield, who is played by Tracy Morgan.

The actor plays the role of a brash, yet beloved Harlem shop owner whose world is turned upside down when his highbrow son (Jermaine Fowler) and free-spirited daughter (Adrianna Mitchell) move back into the family home (along with the grandkids), reported Deadline.

In the trailer, Crutch introduces his grandkids to the reality of living in NYC. "Pay attention kids. You all are getting your first lessons in the dos and don'ts of riding the subway in NY," he instructed.

His advice, "If you see a dollar bill on the floor, don't pick it up," he warns. "I thought picking up money was good luck?," questions his grandson (Finn Maloney). "It's a trick. That's how they caught Martha Stewart," Crutch replied as heard in the trailer.

The series also stars Tony Award winner Kecia Lewis (Hell's Kitchen) and Braxton Paul (Sesame Street).

Paramount+ has shared the trailer of the series on their Instagram handle today.

'Crutch' is created by Owen Smith, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner. Cedric and Eric C. Rhone executive produce, along with Aaron Kaplan for Kapital Entertainment, Wendi Trilling for TrillTV, Mike Mariano and Tracy Morgan, reported Deadline.

The series is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of Paramount+ markets.

Finally some good comedy content! We need more shows like this instead of all the reality TV. The family dynamics remind me of our Indian joint families - elders giving wisdom to the younger generation.

The premise sounds interesting but I hope they don't rely too much on stereotypes. Tracy Morgan is talented enough to create nuanced characters. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Perfect timing for a new comedy series! November release means we can binge-watch during the holiday season. The cast looks solid with Kecia Lewis and Braxton Paul joining Tracy Morgan.

The Martha Stewart reference in the trailer was brilliant! 😄 Shows the kind of humor we can expect. Hope it's available on streaming platforms in India soon.

While I love Tracy Morgan's comedy, I hope the writing is strong enough to sustain a full series. Spinoffs sometimes struggle to find their own identity. Fingers crossed this one works!
