Comedienne Whitney Cummings created her own show to star as a freelance photographer who lives with her boyfriend Alex (Chris D'Elia). Her best friends are Roxanne (Rhea Seehorn) and Lily (Zoe Lister Jones). His best friend is Mark (Dan O'Brien).The first season was much more edgy. She was more bratty loudmouth. Obviously it wasn't that popular. It was uneven. Sometimes it was more angry than funny. She was playing the b.It was barely renewed for the second season. They completely retooled it. They dropped Neal (Maulik Pancholy) who came out of the closet in the first season. Everybody got slightly nicer, got more heart. Mark bought a bar that the group hang out at. Generally they dropped the edge and became more mainstream. Nevertheless, they still got canceled at the end of season 2.

I like Whitney. Like Miranda Hart in the UK, Whitney Cummings is playing herself in a sitcom role, written by herself, which is brave and clearly she has talent for comedy. I see many shades of Friends in the set-piece comedy bits in the program's social group but there is an edgier twist. I relate to and am amused by Whitney's fear of commitment and her comedic self-preservation and taking the mickey of everyone. The other characters are funny and witty and I like the twists of partner mix-ups and sexuality questions brought in. Like other good sitcoms, the comedy is mixed with a bit of heart and the relationship between Whitney and Alex (Cummings and D'Elia) is really cute.Not so much a fan of Cummings' writing in 2 Broke Girls, and there is shades of "say it loud with a slight grating voice so it's funnier" in this too but I mainly watch this for D'Elia as I think he's fab, and I've enjoyed some of his stand up - especially his brilliant Keanu Reeves impression/skit. I'm sorry this didn't get further series and is currently cancelled but whilst I enjoy it it's not sufficiently different or original perhaps to stand out from the comedy crowd. An enjoyable watch.

When I saw the adverts for this show i thought it seemed pretty funny, then i saw the mixed reviews and i thought i would give it a chance. However whilst watching from the start the bits didn't seem that funny at all, it was too scripted and the acting wasn't great, very flat and no personality. The "live audience" was very annoying and made me cringe every time a comment/joke was made. I know its in all the great comedies but they are actually funny.I did see some potential from Chris D'Elia's character 'Alex' but it didn't really make much of a difference.

Words like "terrible" and "unwatchable" get thrown around all too much nowadays. At no point during the history of language have we developed words strong enough to describe this abomination.I watched 7 or 8 episodes so I think I gave it more than a fair chance. Also, I realize not every comedy is the same. Some are cutting edge and some are made for a mass audience of the lowest common denominator. This show doesn't even manage that.The show is one giant cliché after another. It is almost like the writers have a competition to see how many hacky jokes they can squeeze into an episode.OK, so it isn't funny, but what about the acting? That is equally atrocious. When you have a main character in your show, please make sure she can act. I have seen 70's porn films with better delivery than this.This show got on the air because of Chelsea Handler sleeping with the boss. That is not a big secret. How it has stayed on the air is a mystery. This is the same network that canceled Harry's Law which got 8 million viewers but kept this show which usually comes in about 400,000 viewers. So your guess is as good as mine.The positive reviews are truly baffling. Well, except for the ones that clearly come from the network. NBC has this uncanny ability to have interns write glowing reviews of their shows without hiding their tracks. In fact, some even use their NBC.Com email addresses. They do not have the best and brightest there. Its no wonder why the network is going under so quickly.You are more than welcome to watch this show, but please, do not confuse it with being "just like my relationship". This show is just recycled plots and equally reused jokes. However, do not come crying to me after you watched it because I am just going to say "Told you so"....
