WHITNEY - Season 1.8 - CLARENCE!

Show is starting to drag.  Episode has Whitney and Alex adopting a dog and the gruff they have to take from the rescue shelter that objects since they are not married.

Show takes an interesting turn by having Neal and Roxanne inadvertently kiss and then later having Roxanne accidentally touching Neal's junk.  This could be the source for great conflict although I wouldn't doubt it if this subplot was dropped completely in future episodes.  The show doesn't seem geared for the deep conflict this situation would provide.  They want their laughs light and breezy.

This brings up my point.  The show is actualy about the wrong character.  If you look closely at Roxanne, you'll see she's in a world of hurt and disappointment longing for a real shot at love.  That's a comic goldmine to explore.
