UPFRONTS 2013: TV Spinoffs’ Almost Perfect Year 
OSCARS: Animated Feature Rule Change 
EXCLUSIVE: NBC has given Whitney a pickup for 3 additional episodes, bringing its second-season order to 16 episodes. In May, the multi-camera comedy received a 13-episode second-season. It was originally scheduled to air in the Friday 8 PM slot but in October it was upgraded to the higher-profile Wednesday 8 PM berth, which it previously occupied. Then early last month, before Whitney‘s second season had premiered, the show was given an order for five more scripts. Now that order has been converted into 3 episodes. The back order comes as Whitney‘s fifth episode of the season last night drew a 1.4/4 in 18-49, matching its season high and up 8% versus last week while most other shows were down. It was the series’ second consecutive week-to-week gain. Whitney joins its time slot mate, fellow multi-camera comedy Guys With Kids, which also received a partial back order, 4 episodes, though the freshman debuted two months before Whitney.

Yes! give this comedy a chance, NBC. It’s so real that I feel like they’re writing about my relationship!
PITY!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re not serious, right? Right?
OMG i know!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
NO!
On purpose??? Have they watched it??? Maybe they can change the format like “up all night” and replace Whitney with an actress.
Good news for ‘Whitney.’ Bad news for humankind, America, and television in general.
This isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, these little mini renewals.
It’s more like NBC needs to break up with its boyfriend/girlfriend, but is just staying together out of laziness until they find someone better.
I don’t know one person that actually watches this show. How is it still on the air?
i’m not mentally impaired. i’m really not. but this has to be one of the worst shows i’ve ever seen. how is it on the air? btw, has anyone watched TWO BROKE GIRLS by the same supposed creator. HORRIBLE
YYYYYYYYYYesssssssss! i am so glad they are giving this show a chance. There is a lot of talent there.
Epitome of troll commenting. This show is egregiously awful.
If he is choking her to death in that photo, consider me a fan.
Omg Whitney is awful! And her sitcom is even worse. She is so annoying and so NOT funny!! I don’t get it. Can someone explain it to me?! Please!
somebody loves her, or is currently “loving” her, who is in a position of power.
Ouch
In 10,000 years, after mankind is gone, an alien species will come to earth and dig up a copy of this show, and in an instant, they will know why we perished
The scary thing is, that joke managed to eclipse the sum total of humor on every episode of this show combined.
So we will never see Next Caller, but we get this? Uh… this sucks.
And “Bent” died so this could live. *eyeroll*
I’ll second that. I really liked Bent. NBC seems to really hate Jeffrey Tambor.
Oh my God! Why would they do that?! Jesus! What is wrong with these people!? This has gotta be some kind of sick joke! I know Nbc is desperate,but,why would they order MORE??? episodes of such a godawful program?!? I think I may have just answered my own question. Maybe it’s because Nbc IS desperate. How else can you possibly explain ordering more episodes of this piece of garbage!?Perhaps in the photo above he’s asking her-”How could you do this to the American public?” What is wrong with you?”
The headline and article are totally misleading. Read it through — they ordered 5 scripts a while back and from those 5, they’re only making 3 episodes. This is a diss, not an endorsement.
Still LOL.
Chris D’elia. He is the only reason people should be watching this. It’s the only reason I have this show a chance when it first came out.
The Whitney haters are out in usual in full-force but there aren’t that many of them left.
Smart decision by NBC as Whitney will be an even bigger show than it is now down the line.
awww marvin, how cute. you are either related to her or somehow involved in the show. otherwise, why would you be sticking up for such talentless scheeching? the worst is how hard it tries… oh it tries so hard.
Seriously Marvin? You sound like the equivalent of a deluded William Hung type contestant on American Idol that believes he is the best most talented singer no matter what they say. You must be related to Whitney.
Remember that feeling you had that time you got hit by a bus? And then dragged behind it… and as the skin on your knees and elbows slowly wore away as your near lifeless body began to give up their organs one at a time – first the spleen, then the liver, followed by the lungs — and they dotted the road in your wake? Remember how painful, crushing and awful that felt? Watching “Whitney” is a jillion times worse. And that’s a fact. I looked it up on Wikipedia.
“Jessica” likes it.
Come on, guys. It’s actually not that bad. They’re doing a “Mad About You” thing this year and it’s definitely getting better. How many episodes have you commenters actually watched?
Not to just pile on, but I watched a handful of episodes last season and the show was terrible. I watched a new one a week ago, hoping for some kind of improvement. It was still terrible. I’m a sitcom fan. I root for the multi-cam. This show, the cast, the characters, it’s just no good.
Hating on this show is so last year.
I didn’t even know the show made it to a second season. Haven’t seen any promos for Whitney since they first aired.
God, what kind of goods does she have on Greenblatt?
Watching that show is a painful experience.
Really haters? If you dislike a show that much then simply do not watch it you don’t have to diss a show that is actually funny to some people. There are those of us who actually like it! Apparently the amount of people who like this show and watch it is pretty close to that of those who watch the internet darling Community so eff off!
No One WITH a brain did, is, nor will watch it.
They have nothing better to put there.
You know how the viewers just instantly warmed to Mary Tyler Moore when she first appeared (on the Dick Van Dyke Show)? Whitney is the anti-MTM. She radiates an off-putting combination of neurotic neediness combined with unearned smugness.
