"Whoopi"
 

Wow, no discussion about Whoopi's new show? And by that I mean those awful commercials. They're running quite a bit now. And each one is worse than the last. The writing (and acting) looks pretty embarrassing. Any bets on how long this one will last?

"I will CUT you!!"

Am I mistaken, or is this show supposed to be an American version of Fawlty Towers? If it is, I wonder if it could possibly produce less than FT meager 12 episodes.

Another TV board had a review from someone who saw either the tapings or screeners of the ep or two. He said it was completely unwatchable; only saving grace, IIRC, was her brother (not sure if that meant the actor or the character). He also pointed out that if it wasn't a star vehicle, the series would have been scrapped or completely retooled by this point.

Knowing how shrewd Whoopi and her people are, I'm assuming she has a great commitment and/or a golden parachute.....

Looks decent enough that I'll give it a try. When does it premiere?

I'll watch it once, but I'm not optimistic.

Its starts Sept. 9th. I've only seen a couple of promos, but I have to say it looks horrible. It doesn't look good when they can't find one funny moment to put in a promo.

This show won't last long, but I think NBC will give it more time than say "Emeril" got. Whoopi's star power alone should get her a few extra weeks. After all she is an "Oscar-winning acress".

I'd set the over under at 5 episodes.

The only reason I would watch this [with the sound off] is to see that white "ghetto" chick..

She's cute..
