The ads for that Whitney show are a perfect example of a stand up comic trying to force all of her jokes into a sitcom. - David Sep 12, 14:53 16
- It's also the perfect example of "it will succeed because NBC has crammed it in your face for *months*." - JaxSean Sep 12, 15:06 5
  - Succeed and NBC being used in the same sentence? Surely you jest. - David Sep 12, 15:28 4
    - "Succeed" in the sense that it'll make it at least a full season. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 12, 15:34 3

        I think it's about 50/50. A lot depends on if it's funny. -- nm - David Sep 12, 16:01
- So, which of her two shows lasts longer? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 12, 15:00 7
  - 2 Broke Girls, because it's sandwiched between two of the hottest CBS comedies, and lead into Ashton's entrance. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 12, 15:08

  - broke girls looks like shit -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 15:01
  - everything on CBS succeeds. so that one -- nm - moles Sep 12, 15:00 1
    - But that could also hurt it if it's a bit below expectations. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 12, 15:02
- I think the big fail is the idea that there are jokes about her sort of not being attractive. - pmb Sep 12, 14:59
- I think she'd be fine if she dialed it down a little bit, I've seen some of her standup & it's not bad. -- nm - Remlik Sep 12, 14:54
I figure Pan Am will be too soapy since it is paired with DH. And Playboy Club will probably fade fast after initial curiosity. - bc/nc Sep 12, 14:47 16

    - Well there was that one where Reggie Jackson didn't want to be recognized but then he didn't like not being recognized so we announced his presence - bc/nc Sep 12, 14:56
    - i guess i figured post-Sopranos and Mad Men we were at a point that reheating Aaron Spelling premises in period clothing would be passe -- nm - moles Sep 12, 14:54 1
      - it's about stewardesses. it'll probably be some hoo-ha about 'rights' and 'chauvinism' -- nm - Max Sep 12, 14:56
    - I was promised a bevy of guest stars -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 14:53 1
