My God!! This is easily the most brutal show on TV. Lame writing, cast of morons, and a poor Cheers type knock-off!! Throw in the mundane laugh track, and you have the makings of a show that should be on PBS!! Do us a favor, and cancel this trash!!!
i just can't understand any attraction to this crap!! It's vulgar, it portrays Laura Prepon as a slut, the asian girl looks like a circus freak, and NO ONE would put up with a stunned room mate like that skinny, "wanna be" naive girl. Flush...watch it spin around the bowl, and then it's gone!!!
This is nothing compared to Whitney's horribleness.
Whitney is absolute crap. At least Are You There? has a premise and some decent actors. Whitney's premise is...that she has a boyfriend? That's seriously the whole premise of Whitney.
Not only that, but plot lines and jokes in Whitney are often lifted identically from other sitcoms and other stand-up comics without their permission. So, not only is it not funny, but it's also a rehash of everything that sucked being made suckier.
Exactly what is the premise of "Are You There, Chelsea?"
Are you sure you mean "premise" - which is defined as "A proposition upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn."
Both shows are sitcoms, situational comedies - take a bunch of actors, and (try to) write funny situations and lines for them ... sitcoms don't really need premises, as defined above.

It's based on the book, which is about a 20-something(sic) Chelsea Handler, who works at a bar and makes sarcastic comments about people to get by, meanwhile everyone else around her seems to be doing better but she's at odds with society.
It's actually not a bad premise. The execution is terrible, but there is some substance to this show (and I'm saying this as a 'hater').

Wrong. The whole point of making a situational comedy is because there is a premise that is supposed to be a set-up for funny events. This is not an alternative comedy show, like Louie, Wonder Showzen, or Tim and Eric. It's a sitcom.
Are You There Chelsea makes Whitney look like a high brow comedy sitcom, which is hard to do. Has anyone else noticed that Handler looks like David Letterman and Alfred E. Neuman's love child? And not a single joke of hers is original. The funniest thing about the show is how overdone the laugh track is.
There is another show that is equally as bad. It's called Chelsea Lately. I bet you could have guessed that CL is crap considering it's on the E! channel.
Chelsea Handler and her blue waffle make me sick.
