Administrator Toups Posted May 12, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 12, 2011 WHITNEY A hilarious look at modern love, “Whitney” is a new multi-camera comedy series about Whitney (Whitney Cummings, “Chelsea Lately”) and Alex (Chris D’Elia, “Glory Daze”), a happily unmarried couple. Together for five years, the duo is in no rush to get hitched. However, after attending yet another one of their friends’ weddings, Whitney realizes that she and Alex are dangerously close to relationship boredom. Determined not to let that happen, Whitney consults her close circle of opinionated girlfriends -- including Lily (Zoe Lister-Jones, “The Other Guys”) and Roxanne (Rhea Seehorn, “The Starter Wife”) -- and then snaps into action. A few awkward sexy costumes and one botched seductive evening later, the couple ends up in the emergency room. Even so, Whitney and Alex realize that while their relationship might not be perfect on paper, they really do love each other -- and that works for them. Also starring are Maulik Pancholy (NBC's “30 Rock”) as Lily's perfect boyfriend, and Dan O’Brien (“How I Met Your Mother”) as an eternal bachelor. “Whitney” is produced by Universal Media Studios and Scott Stuber Productions. Stuber (“The Break Up”), Quan Phung, Betsy Thomas (“My Boys”) and Barry Katz (“Last Comic Standing”) are executive producers. Cummings also serves as executive producer/writer. Andy Ackerman (“Seinfeld,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine”) is an executive producer and directed the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 23, 2011 Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like her too, and I like whatever his name is, but I found it pretty awful. before this I had read an over the top column about how it was a throwback to early sexism "men are like this women like this" humour, and i thought they were exagerating, but... Yeah that's pretty much what it was. Whitney's other sitcom (which she writes for but isn't in) 2 Broke Girls was actually much much better.

Members jcar03 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 All the little funny moments were included in the trailor but the whole episode was very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 25, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2011 I didn't think I would like it....but I did! I LOL a few times. I liked the supporting characters too and I liked the perverse/sex humour (the cop LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 YES! And they played FAR less funny in context (but maybe that was because I saw the preview so much). Though it's not my kind of humour, I found the little bits in the ads amusing--so that was a big disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Agreed Eric! I didn't laugh as much or at all when I heard them in the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 I am really kinda shocked at that--it seems to be getting muchof the worst hate of any new series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
