Any watchers of the NBC Network (Yes, I know we are few and far between) have noticed within the last 6 months a reoccurring theme. The name Whitney has been emblazoned within our skulls as the commercials have been running near non-stop in that time frame. Little by little details have been revealed about this new mystery girl with the pretty green eyes. The show is going to run in the same vein as other classic NBC sitcoms. A lighthearted comedy about a couple that has been in a long relationship and is becoming pressured by there friends to get married, but of course, they're in no rush. Whitney shares namesake with her actor Whitney Cummings of stand-up comedy fame. Cummings brings a sarcastic yet very honest charm to her role, and is complemented by her Co-Star Chris D'Elia who plays Whitney's live-in boyfriend Alex. In the show previews these two showcase what seems to be a strong dynamic. Two actors that actually like each other!? Oh My!
The amount of marketing that has gone into this project has been enormous, honestly I haven't been so bombarded since the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants. And that may be with good reason. It seems like NBC wants to tote this girl as the new-age cool female (sound familiar FOX?) and with such a likeable character and a time-slot after it's top-rated comedy show, it may be possible. So here's the question, will we fall in love with Whitney, or will she turn out to be just some girl? We find out Thursday Sept. 22 @9:30 on NBC.
