Alex und Whitney - Sex ohne Ehe

Based on the other reviews on here, this show is not for everyone. However, I really enjoy this show. It has some very funny one-liners and the cast is enjoyable to watch. Whitney Cummings (Whitney) and Chris D'Elia (Alex) are great comedians and have good chemistry! The relationship situations they get themselves into are totally blown out of proportion, but I think that is part of what makes the sitcom funny. The sarcasm at times is hilarious! I don't think it has been on long enough to really hit its stride, but it has been picked up for a full season, so I am sure it will be even better by the end of the season. I will definitely continue to watch. If you have never seen it... please give it a chance!

Sometimes I can't believe the crap people write in these reviews. I'm convinced that the same people slamming this show are the ones writing how wonderful Glee is. Unreal. I personally love this show. There's one reason in particular that warmed me to it. They laugh and smile at jokes during the show. It has always bothered me that in popular shows such as Friends and Raymond when a character says something hilarious that nobody in the show ever laughs or seems to even pay attention to the joke. Super phony. In Whitney they not only acknowledge jokes but they seem to almost come out of character to laugh or smile a little at them. This makes the characters even MORE likable and keeps me thoroughly interested. I enjoy Whiteneys attitude towards romance and the typical "women" things. It makes her interesting. Her bf on the show is great as well, probably even better than her. I'll continue watching to see how it progresses.

Specifically, why are the reviews either "love it completely" with a rating of 10/10, or do they hate it, with very little in between? Just think about that one a while.

I, for one, hate this show. The writing is boring, the jokes are stale and ones you've heard for ages, the acting is unimpressive and, oh, good God, the laugh track! Laughter for everything! Not even just for jokes! It's supposedly live but that makes sense, since the laughter sounds very forced, and not genuine at all.

What's worse, I see nothing redeeming in this show. It's simply one of the least valuable shows I've seen in a long time.

I don't understand why most people have given this show bad reviews. This show is awesome!! Its a show for young couples that have been living together for a few years. My wife and I are always watching it, and we are amazed at how similar this couple's relationship is to ours. There have been some episodes where the main story does not involve the couple's relationship, and I have to say, those episodes were incredibly boring. But when the story involves the couple's relationship, the show is incredibly accurate and funny. If you are in a relationship and you have recently started living together, this show is for you. I am actually writing this review as I wait for the show to begin.

I turned on this show on demand tonight, and it is absolutely brutal.

It seems like Whitney Cummings would be far better off as a secondary character on another show because this show just doesn't work.

She's a woman in a relationship and she doesn't get enough sex... Get it? That's the whole plot line. Then toss on a forced laugh track that rumbles every 15 seconds at jokes that simply aren't funny.

I am figuring that they gave out drugs to the audience for them to be laughing at any of this show. Or, the audience is laughing at how bad this is... Or they are watching another show in a different room.

I really can't even begin to describe how painful this show is to watch....
