Danny: Whitney Survivor Seeking Gainful Employment


Recommended Posts

Funny you call him the "Whitney" survivor, was it just me or were the sets the exact same ones from Whitney? Large apartment with light blue walls and white trim, big sub-street level bar with green interior and dark trim... it's like they were going to use the old Whitney set and found Chis D'Elia living there and gave him the job out of sympathy.

Yeah, but I was surprised at liking him (and his performance) too.  It must be Bill Lawrence elevating things a bit, because I loathed the Whitney TV show and everything attached to it (then again, I like Whitney Cummings herself, off that horrible sitcom).

Hey, guys! You watched Whitney, too? I didn't think it was that bad. True I didn't totally know why I was watching it and I think it was largely curiously and after a while habit but it wasn't any worse than most sitcoms. People were unnaturally hard on it. That's what you get after you watching too much prestige TV. You develop those annoying thing called "standards" and lose your tolerance for dreck. I have worked very hard to build this tolerance to get me through life. And pilot season. Anyway, I thought Chris was actually pretty good on Whitney so I perked up when I heard he got a new show. But the premise does not sound good and this doesn't really seem like a show with legs. Should I even risk getting invested or just skip it?

Remember when Whitney Cummings had two shows picked up at the same time?  "Whitney" and "Two Broke Girls."  I thought the first one was horrible and the second one was funny.  Then Whitney Cummings finally relaxed and stopped being a broken shard of insecure glass on her own show and the ensemble started being really good--about two or three episodes before it was canceled.

 

And now "Girls" has three lines in each show that aren't, boob, genital or Han height-related.  Sigh.

 

But anyway, Chris D'Elia is the person I liked most from both shows, so, yay, I'm glad he's back.  (LOL at finding him in the back of the set.  Good one!)
