Chelsea Handler's new sitcom fires three actors

We have to admit, we didn't totally love the pilot of Chelsea Handler's semi-autobiographical sitcom "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," so we're hoping that a major overhaul will improve the show.TVLine reports that the NBC series has canned three actors -- nearly half its cast -- in a total revamp of the premise. "White Collar's" Natalie Morales is out, as is Angel Laketa Moore from "ER." In a rather awkward move, they've also ousted Jo Koy, a comedian and friend of Handler's, who has appeared on over 38 episodes of her show "Chelsea Lately."
Things are about to get tense around that Round Table of hers.
The characters are apparently in the process of being re-imagined... and re-cast. Still on board, of course, are "That '70s Show" star Laura Prepon as Chelsea Handler, and Chelsea Handler as her frumpy born-again older sister, Sloane.

They should just cancel the show now, its bound to happen anyways.
I rather skip watching WHITNEY let alone not watching Chelsea Handler's new sitcom when it airs by midseason.
A big improvement would be to make it a single cam show with no laugh track.
Two of those people were extremely overacty and their characters seemed way too sitcommy So hopefully this fixes it.
That's sad for Natalie Morales. Maybe she should become a Parks & Rec regular, though, it'd be better for all involved.
I still think that Laura Prepon is a good choice, but she is playing Chelsea all wrong. The thing about Chelsea Handler is that she can seem like a complete *****, but you still like her. With Laura's performance, she comes off unlikeable. Her character on That 70's show was more on key as Chelsea than this version.
People care about this show?
I can't believe they are going to allow this to be on tv while rejecting the wonder woman pilot.
Bill,
You'd cared enough to comment.
Now NBC sit-coms are sucking BEFORE they get on the air.
