Synopsis:



Episode 3 of 22

In case you were living under a door mat, this got a full 22 episode season.

Just curious, is there anyone here who doesn't think this is the worst sitcom of all time?

Of all time...no.

Okay, maybe worst sitcom of the last 2-3 years. I don't know if this is a fair comparison, but Pefect Couples last season was ripped to shreads here. Eventually people started growing to like it...granted it was a single-cam sitcom shot on location.

I thought that How To Be a Gentleman was way worse than this.

Of all time, no. But it is pretty terrible, and I don't find it particularly compatible with NBC's other Thursday Night Comedies.

Whitney Cummings herself can surely still sleep easy knowing both this and 2 Broke Girls (which she is co-creator and an executive consultant for) have been picked up for the whole season.

Although, I can see this one turning out like Outsourced (run the full season and fail to be renewed).

It's not even the worst comedy on TV tonight!

How To Be A Gentleman is far worse than this. Also, The Paul Reiser Show from last season was pretty horrible. At least Whitney is easy on the eyes and dresses slutty in every episode so far. Even if the show has nothing else going for it, there is that one saving grace.

The biggest flaw with this show is that NBC put it with 3 of the best comedies on TV. Compared to the rest of the lineup, Whitney just comes off looking even worse than the steaming pile it already is. Put it with Up All Night on Wednesday, and suddenly both of those shows look better.

EDIT: Another possible candidate for worst sitcom ever may come next season. I just read on G4s ticker during Attack Of The Show that Snoop Dogg has been attached to star in a family sitcom at...wait for it...NBC!

For shizzle. I always wanted to say that.

I don't think it's any worse than 2 Broke Girls. That's not exactly a complement though

Dr. DVD

Just saw my first ep. Not funny at all.

I liked Perfect Couples, maybe I missed the initial feedback, but I always go the impression that most here enjoyed the show.

I haven't seen Whitney at all.

I watched the pre-credits opening, and there were no jokes. The couple just flirted and then left to go have sex. Not even the audience of retarded tourists laughed at anything. Is this a drama?

Why would the number of cameras used to shoot the show have to do with whether or not it's any good?

Original Desmond

This was a good episode. If they keep to relationship observational humour , it will be cool

Adam Tyner

Disclaimer that I haven't watched the show, but I've read that the cold open wasn't shot with a studio audience like the rest of the show is.

boc4ever

Yes, noticeable improvement in quality. It is a shame because both Cummings and Delia are hilarious in their standup. I wonder if they had to keep Whitney in check. It just doesn't have the same edge.

People in this forum tend to hate multicam sitcoms shot in a studio. Single cam like Modern Family get more respected.

Original Desmond

Whitney is quite a good looking woman, i'd definitely hit it, i think she'd be fun and funny in bed

Double_Oh_7

Shouldn't it at least still be funny??

Double_Oh_7

I honestly think that Paul Reiser disaster was the worst sitcom ever.
