I wanted to like this. I really did. The show felt me feeling like the creators didn't trust in it's audience's intelligence to be amused at the right spots - with the addition with the god awful canned laughter.Laura Prepon, while having the right physical attributes for the role (i.e. looks like she could hold her own), left something to be desired. The character just didn't seem to come naturally to her.Lauren Lapkus' character felt a bit unnecessary. In fact, I would say that it was this character that had the show feeling insanely formulaic. I kind of think that making this character not nearly so quirky and having her as a real character rather than just comic relief would have given this show much needed depth.
... View MoreI just love the show, love the actors, love the story, love the humor, love the characters. love love love OK, so its not big cinematographic art, but WHAT IS in sitcoms? Friends is also at the end more bad comedy than good acting, how i met your mother has weird plot mistakes and character mistakes throughout the seasons, supernatural doesn't know where to stop (also true for Buffy), don't get me started on Seinfeld and stuff like that, which is really just boring and maybe adequate for their time, but not in this decade For me, "Chelsea" is just a perfect way to chill. The only bad thing is that it takes them so long to get a new episode out, real bummer.So all you haters out there: i dare you to name one G O O D series without mistakes in plot and flat storyline or characters! love love love Chelsea :)
... View MoreIts pretty simple. If you love Chelsea Handler you will love this show. IF you do not like her, then you will not like this show. I wish they would have kept the original title, but didn't. This show is Raunchy, Blunt, Witty, Sarcastic and a little Taboo. I love the chemistry of the characters. I having worked the bar scene have had co-workers similar to them, and enjoy the subject matter that comes up because of its real world similarity. i didn't think that Laura Prepon could pull off the sarcasm but as the episodes progress, she gets more and more comfortable in her alternate skin. i hope you enjoy this show as much as my partner and i do.
... View MoreWhere 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.
