Watercooler: Why, Whitney, Why?

Whitney Perhaps you have preferred to like someone, but everything they're doing turns you off? Meet Whitney. Usually, Whitney Cummings can be a total scream. Her target the Comedy Central roasts is certainly insanely bawdy. She executive produces the continuously entertaining 2 Broke Women. And she's hot, if that is what you're into. But her eponymous sitcom, which she also executive produces and launched last evening? Yikes. Ironically, for just about any show devoted to some sassy mouthed digital digital photographer, the entire experience is jarringly artless. Shrill to the level of infuriating, outfitted by having an assaultive laugh track and full of clichés (will we please euthanize the "boozy, bitter lady friend" concept immediately?), the pair of laughs that did land without any thud were surely cribbed from Cummings' stand-up programs. The comfort - mostly fatigued gags about Kardashians, Cosmo magazine plus an excessively extended seduction bit that went limp way before i had been uncovered to have an awkwardly emotional dénouement - will be a harsh indication in the talent being wasted before our very eyes. What may have been another one of NBC's great, problematic, relatable female figures, a la Liz Lemon or Sophistication Adler, felt a great deal a lot more like the type of harpy people two would find offensive. It's a shame. We love to Cummings, and her costar Chris D'Elia has charm to spare. Here's wanting they find better material continue and then we can all forget this badness happened to such good artists. Perhaps you have have a look at Whitney? Whoever else think?
