Gutsy, innovative, abrasive, funny, at times hilarious, topical, thought-provoking, I can't say enough good things about this show and Whoopi! The only way to improve it would be to have Bruce Vilanch as a writer. Seriously. Courtney and Rita are an absolute delight, and Nassim and Jadwiga provide hilarious views on our arbitrary, confusing society and mores. I could live without the drinking and smoking shown, and hope that quitting these will be future episodes, with Lots of difficulties doing so to show the true nature of these debilitating addictions. The way the gay marriage scenes were handled were in very good taste, and I really like the digs Whoopi takes at Bush and Republicans, and want to see many more. Thanks.
Whoopi!
I didn't catch the show when I first aired. What I was watching at that time I don't know, but I had no idea this show even existed. I only discovered it, 5... 6 years ago, and I think it's brilliant! Love the characters. I love Whoopi and the fact that she owns this hotel was perfect. The rest of the cast are hilarious too! Without going into detail, each have their thing that makes them stand out. Their chemistry works. This show was special and funny. Too bad it wasn't given enough time. It was just as funny as the other shows they had on at that time. π I would buy the season if it was offered, π€
Bring on Season 2
Leave it to Whoopi to toss the "P.C." guidelines out the window. The show is refreshing and drop dead funny. At times the humor is in your face, just as life can be. Can it be offensive? I don't think so. It's just refreshing to see and hear someone say what is on everyone's mind at the time.
The show basically points out that you can't take life too seriously.
The characters are all folks that we can identify with and may even know in passing in everyday life. The cast blends and works well off of each other. The chemistry for this ensemble works.
So tune in and enjoy the show.

A great show
This TV shwo is charming and very funny! Be sure to watch this every Tuesday at 7 on NBC.
Whoopi plays Mavis, a singer who retires after she made it big for a while. She then decided to re-open her hotels lounge. Whoopi's Persian/ Arabian friends is very funny and Rita, her daughter, is hilarious. She is white and she tries to act black. A great show!
Im very surprised that this is TV-14. This should be TV-PG DL.

intelligent,politically incorrect ,smart, funny,perfect casting show
This has to be one of the funniest shows on TV. The writing is sharp and quick-witted and the casting is perfect. Especially the actress who plays Rita. Whoopi Goldberg plays it politically incorrect all the way and offends just about everyone. Every one of my friends who have seen the show love it. If it's cancelled or doesn't do well in the ratings, it'll probably be because she stepped on some higher up's toes in the industry.This show will one day rest beside The Golden Girls, Designing Women, and The Nanny. Whoopi's old series "Bagdad Cafe" was excellent in the beginning episodes but everything changed halfway thru the series and it was eventually cancelled. Hopefully this won't happen to this series.
