Peter Gallagher guest-stars as Whitney's dad and gives a perfect example of an actor bringing an underwritten role to life. He makes the character memorable opening the door for a recurring part.
Episode's about Whitney and Alex not wanting to be with their parents this Christmas so they make up a lie about going on a cruise.
This brings up a lying issue that Whitney feels she's learned from her parents. When the cruise ruse is exposed, she vows to tell the truth.
Episode is a standard sitcom episode. Doesn't go too deep but by being this way, the show becomes faceless without a pulse.
Series has a lot of possibilities but instead of veering off into different directions, they're content to drive safely down the middle of the road.
