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.

It's just brutal. There are 8 ads for it and 7 of them are horrible. The 8th is only funny because of something the boyfriend/husband says.

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
    - FWIW, I put the over/under at 9 episodes. -- nm - David Sep 12, 15:41 2
      - do you think two broke girls makes the year? -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 15:42 1
        
        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
- which show has the girls with the bigger boobs? -- nm - Remlik Sep 12, 15:02 2
  - Well, Kat Dennings is in 2 Broke Girls. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 12, 15:09 1
    - they seem to have omitted the "face" in between Broke and Girls. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 15:10
- 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
