Not since Barney Gumble burst on the scene in the early 1990s has a show so consistently mined alcoholism for "funny" content. The difference is that Barney was a minor supporting character who was often genuinely hilarious and sometimes tragic, but who was also pretty authentic: obese, mercurial and desperate. The catalogue models playing addicts in Single Drunk Female, on the other hand, are cartoonish postmodernists who sardonically quip their way around consequences. It's not funny, it's not insightful, it's not compelling; it's just some cynical profiteers exploiting and mocking the process of recovery to promote a lousy CW-tier young adult dramedy.
