Whitney Cummings was not a name most of us knew before this TV season. Now, thanks to the annoying and ubiquitous ads for her eponymous new show Whitney, she feels like a familiar and annoying relative. Still, Cummings is the driving force behind not one, but two new shows starring women and about women, […]
The lunch jam was annoyingly over-processed, no one cares about Emma and Will, Santana’s betrayal is unbelievable and the rejection of Vanessa Lengies was just sad (how many years has that girl been playing a teenager? 13 years!)
