Agree with what you say about sitcoms usually taking awhile to hit their stride, but I disagree with you about which is better.
IMO Two Broke Girls shows promise (meaning what doesn't work can be fixed), whereas Whitney is just boring. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Risner Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 12:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] broken? The second episode was definitely worse than the first which I thought was mediocre. I thought the disjointedness and poor timing were just because it was a pilot, but the second episode had the same issues. I'll give it a few more episodes; it has been my experience that sometimes comedies take a while for everyone, from cast to writers and directors, to get the rhythm of the thing, but right now I'm just watching more because I sometimes want to have a half hour show to watch. It won't take much to send me back to my rewatch of Sports Night instead of watching this show though. The other thing I don't get from critics was comparing this show to Whitney. The critics all said that 2 Broke Girls was better, but I felt that just the opposite was true. Whitney wasn't great, but, IMHO, it had better cohesion and rhythm than 2 Broke Girls. -- David Risner On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 4:46 AM, Jon Delfin <[email protected]> wrote: > Last week's premiere of "Two Broke Girls" left me wondering if I was > out of touch with all of the critics who praised the pilot and the > show's potential. > > To be sure, they all expressed some reservations about the pilot's > split personality, saying that they liked the girls together, but that > some of the sitcommy rhythms of the show were a drawback. > > I'm wondering if, after last night's completely laugh-free episode, > anyone still thinks this show can be saved. > > If that happens, let me know.
