Like so many comedians on TV, Cummings plays an off-brand version of herself, an acerbic photographer with a live-in boyfriend. She resists pressure to marry; she and her dude bicker over household habits; they party with friends at a local night club. But, while Cummings is lacerating and deadpan, her fictional avatar reminds me less of Roseanne, or even of Silverman, than of someone much older: Lucille Ball.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #cbs #comedy #entertainment #nbc #television #whitneycummings</p> Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:24:26 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19830 cbs comedy entertainment nbc television whitneycummings http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2011/11/17/nbc-rebooting-the-munsters NBC is desperate for a hit.

Pulling it off the schedule temporarily given the ratings is understandable; pulling it off the schedule while leaving "Whitney" on is not. Either show is going to do the same pathetic numbers on Wednesdays at 8 - away from its "Office" cocoon, "Whitney" could easily do worse than "Community" would - and one move at least buys continued goodwill from the press and viewers, whereas there's no one outside the immediate families of Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia who will be happy that show continues to air, week after week.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #comedy #community #entertainment #nbc #tv #whitney #wtf</p> Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:46:45 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:19688 comedy community entertainment nbc tv whitney wtf http://www.metafilter.com/109464/Brittad-it NBC's Community is being put on hiatus.
