Oh my, what a mess. I am a Chelsea fan and had high hopes for this show. But it just ain't happening. Not at all. If you're going to do an old-school 4 camera, laugh track sitcom you've got to make it really dumb to appeal to the 2.5 Men audience. But if you want to make a smart comedy you will be competing with the likes of "30 Rock" and "Modern Family" which have excellent writing and nice modern production values. "Are You There, Chelsea?" has neither. The writing is just a string of the stalest, lamest sexual double entendres which might amuse middle school children but only elicit groans and cringes in anyone older (chronologically or mentally) than 15. It never ceases to amaze me that nobody associated with productions like this seems to notice that it is drivel with no chance of success. But what do I know? I think "Two an a Half Men" is garbage.
