Whitney

I like the show because I can relate to the awkward relationship humour. I don't know why everyone is so insistent on bashing the show in these reviews. It's a sitcom about two people learning to co-exist and navigate each others personalities and idiosyncrasies. A laugh track is on EVERY sitcom, so not sure why people insist on pointing it out here.

Anyways I like the show, but perhaps you need to be able to relate to it to get some of the humour. I think it's funny, lighthearted and I like the characters. I think the actors play the character's well and deliver the lines as naturally as they can considering it's a sitcom and all sitcom character's tend to be kind of overly emphasized.

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.

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.

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.

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.
