NBC has made the unfortunate decision of having Whitney Cummings headline their first multi-camera sitcom in years! Now, that's not to say that Whitney Cummings isn't an extremely talented comedian, but her comedy is just not suited for a broadcast network show in the same way that Louie C.K. or Larry David's brand of humor wouldn't fit a broadcast network. Because she isn't on cable and she has a team of writers writing lines for her, Cummings' comedic talent is not being displayed, and that has made Whitney one of the worst shows of the new fall season.

Makes sense. The previews look horrid and even the ads for it are borderline offensive. I hear she's funny, but the sitcom itself doesn't look so great. I don't think it will last.

My dad already has a crush on that girl. He finds her "hot, hot, hot"! (His words, not mine. :lol:)

Well, for NBC's stake, it BETTER do good in the ratings because it was the one show they really promoted the heck out of. lol

The trouble with "Whitney" that it's hard to separate Cummings the standup comic who's recycling her act from Whitney the photographer and sitcom character. As Robert Bianco notes, "The main character is too loud, too dominant and far too central; the lines all sound as if they were written to be delivered by a performer rather than spoken in conversation; and the supporting characters are ciphers who exist merely to reflect or foil the star."

"Whitney" may be "the most unself-awarely retro-sexist show on television"

"Whitney" doesn't fit in on NBC Thursdays with its stale sitcom cliches

Whitney is writing for herself as a standup, not "Whitney"

Seems like NBC hasn't taken the reins off Cummings
