TV Review: Whitney - "Up All Night"

Season 1 - Episode 9
NBC (US)

This show is really starting to suck.

I mean, it started off pretty bad, but it always had something that kept me interested in watching. Whatever that thing was though, appears to be gone. Chris D'Elia as Alex is trying his best to keep things interesting, but with the material Whitney Cummings and her "writers" are giving him, even he's starting to struggle.

Basically, Lily has asked Whitney to be her maid of honour. This has caused her to sleepwalk and go see a therapist. Played by Chelsea Handler. Yup, that's where they've gone with it. And you know what? They managed to waste Chelsea Handler. They have succeeded in possibly one of the hardest things in the world. They have ruined one of the worst comedians in the world. The jist of the episode is that maybe Whitney would be more receptive to getting married and having kids than she thought, as long as it's with Alex. Aww cute. But still shit.

I'm not even going to talk about the rest of the characters this week. MArk is made to look like more of an idiot than usual and Lily and Neal are just sort of there. I've been saying for weeks that this show needs to improve. There's one episode left before the Christmas break (and Jane Kaczmarek shows up, which should at least mean there's 2 talented people on screen) and if it's not a good one, Whitney may go bye bye from the rotation.
