    You may laugh, but you'll hate yourself afterward.

    The show's just not as funny as Chelsea Handler is when she's playing Chelsea Handler.

    [Laura Prepon] doesn't have any of the original's bone-tired, hard-earned scorn. [19 Jan 2012, p.42]

    In place of dialogue, we get one-liners.

  1. I absolutely love this show. Laura Prepon is hilarious in this part. I would be super upset if this show gets cancelled. I don't get it, when Charlie Sheen plays a womanizing, alcoholic he gets paid a mil an episode, and he's a real life drug addict. But when there is a character that is a promiscuous woman who drinks a lot, people are suddenly not interested. They only had half a season to be watched. They should be given at least another 10-12 episodes to establish a bigger following that I know is out there. Good luck cast and crew I'm rooting for you. Expand
  2. I love this show, I watched both this and whitney . You have to have a sense of hmor and knowing chelsea and her comedy well what do you expect. Plus its a half hour show im sure you can find something else to watch for 30 mins and let us who enjoy the show have it to watch . Expand
  3. Like "I Hate My Teenage Daughter", this show has mostly its funny moments, but then has some unfunny moments, which can be a problem. I really think they miscast Handler as her sister, which isn't really that funny of a character. But I must say, I love Dee Dee, she always keeps me laughing. All in all, its a funny show, but not "Modern Family" funny. Expand

    Rarely do I find a TV sitcom unwatchable but this one is it. Someone forgot to tell the producers and writers that a sitcom is supposed to have people in it the audience likes. Lots of shows handle drinking excessively with humor but in this case I felt like I was watching a documentary about alcoholism. What a totally unlikeable show. Can it. Expand
