I've been putting off writing a review for the new NBC sitcom "Whitney" because to be perfectly honest I expected more from the show NBC chose for its 'Gentleman's Intermission' from its marriage to "30 Rock", but alas I was mistaken.
I get that this is probably NBC's way of trying to cash in on some of those sweet sweet laugh track induced ratings that the other networks enjoy. It might even be that this is just NBC's way of proving to everyone that not only can they make brilliant innovative shows like "Community" and "Parks & Rec" but they can also churn out something that appeals to what is unfortunately the majority of the television viewing audience. Either way, I don't care. There is no excuse for the trainwreck that is "Whitney".
So of course America loves it. What's not to love? It's a show about a couple in a relationship (Hey, I've been in a relationship.), their friends (Hey, I have friends...), and how they interact with each other (Hey, I interact too! This show is perfect for me! And it even tells me when to laugh and when to go 'OooooOOooo').
In short, "Whitney" is nothing more than "Mike and Molly" with people that don't sweat when they eat. Bring back Liz Lemon dammit.
