You dont have to be a hater to be glad its gone



I never saw an episode. Just seeing the ads was bad enough. She just comes ove ras a very unlikable woman. I didnt like Sarah Silverman at first either but she grows on you and can be funny at times. Whitney cummings never made me laugh not on any of the clips that Comedy Central show on ads.



They're Filming Midgets!

The title of your post sums it up for me too, I personally hated the show with the passion! And I'm the type that a. LOVES Whitney's roast appearances/material and b. I appreciate/love TONS of different styles of comedy, but this show was terrible, a hater doesn't root and look forward to the release like I did with this show.

I hate it because Cummings just constantly comes off as so smug and self satisfied, has absolutely zero chemistry with the characters, and is just the most wooden actor I've ever seen. She obviously thinks she's really funny and clever, but the script is akin to something a 15 year old would write.

Everyone else in the show is alright, D'Elia is actually a pretty funny guy - Cummings just tries so hard to be quirky and funny, it's annoying.

Had never heard of this show until today. Randomly caught the 'Alex, Meet Lily' episode, and after no more than 5 minutes could tell the show was a total train wreck. It was so unfunny (even though it tried very hard to be) it was embarrassing. Poorly written, and poorly acted. The tone felt pessimistic too, which is suicide if you're trying to make viewers laugh and enjoy the ride.

Came here to learn it got cancelled on season 2, and all I can think is "yeah, it was lucky to get even that far". Never has a show struck me for falling so short of the mark.

Oh yes I do have to be a hater. I won't get back the time from those 6 episodes I saw. Ugh.

If you didn't run the other way after the first episode then most of that lost time is on you!
