Are You There, Chelsea?

I'll start by saying in general, I like everything Chelseas's done before this show. I've read the books and watch Lately regularly. This show however is a disaster. First of all, it's very difficult to follow the show when Prepon, who is portraying Handler is speaking to Handler, who is portraying Sloan. It's like Chelsea is speaking to herself and it makes it nearly impossible not to think about while watching the two converse. Also, I feel like i'm on the set watching them act during the entire show. None of the conversations so far have flowed well at all. I really do hate the fact that I don't like this show because the book was a lot of fun to read. Oh well, good luck with your next project Chelsea.

I was also bummed with this show. I was expecting Chelsea Handler to be the main character, but Laura Prepon is. I think Laura can be funny, but they need to chill out with the sexual innuendos. Sex talk ALL. THE. TIME. is not that funny. This was the second pilot I watched this week and all it was about was sex. After awhile, it becomes tasteless. Writers, can you not come up with anything original?

The character Nikki, I believe her name is Natasha Leggero, is completely annoying, not funny. She was in the short-lived Free Agents and played the same type of annoying character. I think her appearances on the show could grind it into the ground even more.

This should could have potential, but without more of Chelsea Handler acting like herself, I don't see it happening.

I guess many of the negative reviewers have never heard of exposition. The first episode is expected to be a little light on jokes because it requires characters, settings, and backgrounds to be explained. The supporting cast is a bunch of circus freaks, which is a plus. The jokes Chelsea bookended on the end of the scenes for obligatory exposition were all very good. While it's too early to make an early good or bad conclusion (in spite of other reviewers' predeterminations), I'm definitely interested.

If anything, Are You There, Chelsea? could end up killing Whitney (a brutally unfunny show that's trying to be Friends...again) because it's actually funny. Hopefully, Whitney won't kill this show by preceding it.

Yawn!! Very disappointing comedy sitcom. There is nothing new written here just a lot of smutty corny jokes. It was flat and unlaughable.

Though I really like Laura Prepon and she was great in 'The 70's Show' she was not good in this. Whoever wrote this has no humour whatsoever!! Its disgusting and shaming to revert to toilet humour to try and get some laughs... they are NOT FUNNY at all. Its cheap, nasty, and badly written and acted.

And so fed up with seeing young women act like mindless bimbo's.

For goodness sake, keep this rubbish off the TV and give us something way better then filthy jokes.

The decor in her apartment was more interesting.

Where do I begin? Laura Prepon couldn't act her way out of a box; the timing and delivery of whatever comedic value there is in the writing is completely lost when it falls limply out of her mouth.

Some of the acting is so bad that I'm in disbelief they wouldn't have done another take; I think they must have filmed the pilot in almost realtime.

The show seems like it was written by a team of 17 year olds. The characters unbelievable, unlikeable, generic cookie cutter stereotypes with about as much attitude as a loaf of bread.

This is probably one of the worst shows on television at the moment.
