Whitney

I could care less about the negative reviews about the show, not everyone is going to like it. But I find this show very refreshing from what is shown on TV nowadays, when most of them have the same story lines and plots. I have not seen a show with this story line. Whitney is also a very funny comedian I think, a lot better then most the female comedians out there. And even though the "live audience" sounds forced or not real, that shouldn't matter because I'm the one who is laughing and enjoying the show. I am looking forward to more seasons. Everyone has different tastes in shows and comedies and that is normal. But I personally love this show and think it is a nice breeze of a "different" kind of sitcom.

First off, I do NOT usually watch TV, besides Always Sunny, Burn Notice, Community and some other random shows. I laughed at some of the commercials and thought it was worth a look.

I actually laugh out loud at this show. Rare for me. I think they are both very funny and its filmed in front of a studio audience so the laughs are more tolerable and when they get each other to crack a smile you can tell its real.

I hope this show stays for a long time, I really enjoy it and I think the 4/10 is pretty harsh. Its far better, more clever and genuinely funnier and well timed than most other shows out there.

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....

All the negative reviews are astounding! I cannot believe that people think NBC would choose to air a "horrible" pilot. I LOVED the show, from start to finish. Whitney has sharp wit and Chris D'Elia makes the show just as funny. Without allowing my review, nor the several others, give the show a chance and WATCH it!! I don't agree with some of the other reviews. The actors do complement each other, and it is almost as if the show was written specifically for them to be in the show. They have great chemistry on screen. The humor is sarcastic, and on point. The group of girls have funny jokes followed up by great acting. Yes, I won't deny that the laugh track is bad... but aren't they all? I must say, I am a fan of the humor for sure! I will continue watching the show, and I may not always be home to watch it, but will DVR it. It's nice to be able to look forward to getting home, to unwind and watch a good show.

Hmm. A lousy rating and a bunch of bad reviews. Personally, I give it a 6 1/2 - which rounds up to 7. Whitney (who I hadn't seen before, that I remember, anyhow) is very funny. So is her boyfriend. And there is some good writing - as in good lines, principally. It's main fault is the laugh-track -- which they should - if not eliminate altogether - lower the volume on by 50% or more.

Great sitcoms don't need laugh tracks at all - None in Modern Family, for example, and none in the later episodes of Sports Night (better to cut it later than never). Whitney may well never be great, but it's good enough to sharply limit the track. (While it's touted as being recorded before a studio audience, I cannot believe that there isn't an "augmented" track involved; and even if there isn't, they need to cut the "audience track" down appreciably (and/or populate the audience with considerably more actual natural humans. English-speaking. Adults).)

The second most-serious deficiency here seems to me to be in weakish story-telling, but it's early days yet. And even if it is and is to stay a "6.5" rated show - that's not so bad.

Anyway, Whitney seems worthwhile, and much better than the averaged rating here so far reflects.
