Winter Midseason Television Preview: Do We Have New Hits?

Are You There, Chelsea, January 11 @8:30/7:30c on NBC!

Inspired by the best-selling books from actress/comedian Chelsea Handler, “Are You There, Chelsea?” follows the exploits of the twentysomething Chelsea, an opinionated and unapologetic young woman who lives life to the fullest as a cocktail waitress, friend, daughter, sister and sexually dynamic “advanced drinker.”

Chelsea’s life revolves around her work at Jerry’s Ultimate Sports Bar in New Jersey, where she is surrounded by an eclectic group of friends and co-workers, including Rick, the handsome bartender; Olivia, a fellow cocktail waitress and Chelsea’s best friend since childhood; and Todd, the bar back who is always ready with a quick comeback. Chelsea and Olivia have recently moved in with Dee Dee, a sweet and somewhat sheltered young woman who could be considered the polar opposite of Chelsea. And then there’s Chelsea’s dad, Melvin, a man with a big personality and a big heart… and all too often – a big mouth.
