I love Zooey so I'll be tuning in, and hope it turns out to be a decent show.

 

[blame space]

lol, i'll probably check it out for a few minutes.

Replace Zooey on the poster with her friend. Magnitudes hotter she is.

get a load of this guy

are there "official" rules for the six degrees of bacon.. like is it movies only?

 

[StuBurns]

The Bacon thing, I bet it works with practically anyone right? He's just picked for whatever reason like the Chuck Norris jokes or something.

 

[brianjones]

"Simply Adorkable"

good lord

 

[Solo]

Cancelled within 10 episodes, I'm guessing.

 

[Pachterballs]

used to think she was really cute.

til the episode of top chef where they had to cook for her and then now I just think she's dreadful and precious.

 

[Hot Coldman]

OK, Damon is like 50% of the comedy so I may find myself bailing out come episode 2. Fuck

 

[Poyunch]

She's kind of cute but the promos really overplay it and the male characters seem really blech. I don't know if I can watch it.

 

[nitric0]

Pilot was pretty awful, didn't even crack a smile

 

[Wario64]

Terrible pilot, it was basically an extended preview of what we saw

 

[7Th]

That's one of the worst posters I've ever seen. What the fuck were they thinking? Did they even see it before releasing it?

 

[StuBurns]

Ten minutes in, it's fucking gash.

 

[Tobe]

going to watch just cause its zooey but from looking at some trailers this shit is going to go down HARD, as in 5 episodes max.

 

[Hot Coldman]

well that was shit

 

[Chamber]

I thought she was ok. Her hipster buddies on the other hand...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I actually laughed a few times. I'm in.

 

[StuBurns]

Finished, I hated it. The whole Liz Lemon shitck poorly performed, Scrubs style side flashes, awful forced 'heart', hot girl can't get laid in a bar stupidity.

Out of interest, Dirty Dancing is shit right?

 

[Sean]

Pilot was terrible, barely even cracked a smile throughout the whole episode. Damon Wayans Jr was the funniest part and he's not actually gonna be in the series. Yikes.

Though I guess I'm not in the target audience for the show, seems more aimed at chicks. I'm sure they'll eat this up especially if it gets paired up with Glee. It'll probably be the biggest new show of the season even though it's fucking awful.

 

[Barrett2]

On one hand, she is ridiculously gorgeous. On the other hand, the 2 min clip I saw was super grating.

 

[dream]

You guys are nuts. Adorkable women are the best type of women.

 

[Mudkips]

I think I'm over Zooey. The whole acting cute thing is contrived and hipster chicks in general don't do it for me anymore. She's not even that cute now that I'm actually articulating my feelings and writing this opinion out. Neither is her sister, or Katy Perry. Just a bunch of average looking chicks with makeup on.

Hate, hate, hate, hate. Or replace with troll if you prefer that word. I'm being serious though.

The entire premise of the show seems to be "Hey look! It's Zooey Deschanel!!!!".
That earns it a pass.

But the incessant, annoying advertising?
That earns it active hate.

 

[FaidSint]

Seems like the most annoying show ever. Zooey needs a new character to play that's not the cute hipster.

Damon Wayans Jr is so damn funny. Why did he shoot a pilot for this when he is on that other show?

Because they didn't know that Happy Endings was going to get picked up for a second season, it was looking really grim there for a bit. Very glad Happy Endings got picked up though.

The reason I'm not watching. And the fact that I find her voice incredibly annoying.

 

[dream]

There's a Damon Wayans Jr? :/

 

[ThisWreckage]

I hate women like that in real life. Describe yourself. "Oh, I'm random."

Also, are we supposed to think that guys wouldn't approach her in a bar, if nothing else, in hopes of fucking her?

 

[Big Baybee]

There's a Damon Wayans Jr? :/

Its cool. He's a legit funny Wayans.

 

[rollingstart]

The pilot teetered between obnoxiously grating and dirty pleasure ULTRA-FLUFF. The pilot just moved way too fast and nothing made a (positive) impression.

Damon Wayans Jr is a funny guy. I mean, I've only seen him in Happy Endings and New Girl and he's great in both. It's a toss up between him and Adam Pally on Happy Endings as the funniest there.

 

[giga]

Couldn't even finish the pilot. All the characters are atrocious. Never let the writer do anything ever again.

 

[triplestation]

 

[big ander]

Watched the pilot. Coach character didn't work (wonder how his replacement will be), Schmidt didn't work. Lead dude could be alright. Zooey's schtick here seemed even more broad than it's ever been, which is a turn-off. Her character just simply couldn't exist.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Sad to hear it sucks. I like Zooey alot and I really wish she would, I don't know how to explain it, be less bad?

 

[IndieJones]

Keep in mind this is FOX. The show - quality aside for a second - will last either six episodes or eight seasons.

Sigh. There's really no point in even doing the info dumps in response to (incorrect) posts like this any more.

 

[Parallax]

Its cool. He's a legit funny Wayans.

is there a non funny wayans? theyve all shone potential for funny

 

[Mr.Swag]

I don't understand how shows like this and "up all night" or whatever Will Arnett's new show is called, expect to last more than two seasons. How long can she be the new girl for? How long will they be taking care of the baby?

 

[ivysaur12]

Nope. Same thing with sci-fi on Fox. Oh well.

 

[chalkitdown1]

Nope. Same thing with sci-fi on Fox. Oh well.

Perhaps he's thinking of CBS.

 

[Escape Goat]

They lost me at "adorkable"

 

[Robot1X]

The pilot is on Hulu. It's bad. She can't sing. That is all.

 

[KibblesBits]

I'll try it if she's not singing.

Damn, I'd rather hear Emily sing in her Brennan voice than hear Zoey sing anything.

 

[JDSN]

That voice man, that fucking voice.

 

[big ander]

The pilot is on Hulu. It's bad. She can't sing. That is all.

Eh, no reason to just stream it when it's on iTunes for free.

 

[Irish]

GAF needs a douchebag jar. EviLore could make billions.

I thought it was alright. Most of the laughs came from the three guys.

Of course, I also liked Outsourced and that other show that the one dude's ex played on with the three couples, so suck it!

 

[Magnus]

So, even though I thought the formula of 3 dudes, 1 girl couldn't work....I really enjoyed that half hour. Was almost as entertaining as Happy Endings.

 

[-Mikey-]

I really liked it. Quite a surprise honestly and I thought GAF would have more to say about this.

 

[3N16MA]

Watched because of Zooey and she was cute and slightly annoying at the same time. Did not like how they seemed to be longtime friends after one week.

 

[Ashhong]

I thought it was decent. Had some laughs. Do not like that Coach got replaced because of Happy Endings. I liked him..

 

[Ryaaan14]

I was pleasantly surprised. Will continue to watch.
