Whitney

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.

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....

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.
