Last May Whitney received a second season order of 13 episodes causing some anti-fans' heads to explode. Originally scheduled for Friday (though it always seemed that the Friday scheduling was merely a placeholder) Whitney was shifted to Wednesdays where it will make its season debut next week. Now, NBC has ordered 5 additional scripts for season 2 according to Deadline. While scripts don't always equal actual episodes, Deadline says in this case that it makes a full backend pickup more likely.
Outside of Cheers, Seinfeld, and occasionally Friends, everything else reflects poor taste.
@ronnie,
Yes, I like what you like and hate what you hate. You’ll like Whitney.
I see Whitney as a throwback to the Cheers, Friends, Seinfeld type of show. It’s NBC’s best shot right now at a breakout hit.
Whitney is a very funny show! just bought the season 1 dvd! i hope season 2 does well
I love Whitney too, am excited about this news and can’t wait for its return!
@Lee
The Biggest Loser will air when The Voice is on a break!
This is the best news I heard all day! I love Whitney!
“Whitney” has found an audience, so congratulations.
I personally don’t consider myself an anti-fan, I consider myself a hater… of this horrid horrible horror of a “comedy”…
It seems I’m one of the few Whitney fans out there (yeah, I know, roll your eyes. In fact, you can point and laugh if you’d like, I can take it) so I’m pretty happy to hear this.
Why? This show is horrible. Not even my wife, who likes stupid female driven shows, wont watch this show.
I think Whitney is one of those short shelf life shows. I could see it going in the tank much as Up All Night has. For what it’s worth I think UAN is a far superior show.
Horrible Show I’ll Pass
One thing I learned about Whitney is that once it moved to Wednesdays in January it got better and it clearly has grabbed fanbase pretty quickly for a show that was so heavily criticized in the beginning.
I think the fanbase is only going to get bigger this season, that rating on Wednesday will be interesting.
@ Jon
That’s where you’re wrong, UAN never had a true fanbase that would stick with the show, Whitney does and plus Whitney has a lot more going for it in the future than UAN does. You’re comparing UAN with the wrong show, UAN is comparable to New Normal.
I imagine it’s because they’re subbing it in for Animal Practice, so they need to give Whitney what they intended for AP minus the weeks in which AP aired?
@Jon,
UAN was never out of the tank so it was impossible for it to go into it.
@ joel
good point bro, Whitney has life in it, UAN never has.

Witney is a pretty good show. I have watched it a few times.
where’s those extra Community scripts, NBC?
They should focus on Community and not on this travesty
