This episode was better than the pilot, but it was lame how it ended the same way with all the guys awkwardly banding together behind Jess. I hope that's not how all episodes end.

Did they say where this takes place? That apartment is insane.

A cab for LAX drives by in the pilot, so I'm guessing LA.

I didn't realise this had started. Since it has Zooey Deschanel (who happens to round out my three "celebrity crushes") I'm inherently interested.

Over the summer I bet my friend $10 bucks that this show would be a runaway hit. There's a market for what they're selling, especially with Glee's audience in place.

A 20-something hipster girl living on her own, chillin with dudes. America's young females want to see how fun their lives will be after college. Major untapped market scorage.

It felt like someone found some scripts for a lost Phoebe spinoff from Friends and decided to greenlight it, but put one of the hottest, cutest actresses in place of Phoebe and try to convince me she's a loser.

I like it. I think Zooey is adorable and I'm always up for seeing more of her. Definitely went in thinking the show was going to blow hard, though. And the pilot seemed to try too hard to set up the funny in order to land the joke a few times, but as the show goes on it feels a little more natural. I found myself laughing out loud on multiple occasions.

Guess this another Friends then where there's no way any of them could afford to live in a place like that.

Caught a rerun of the first episode tonight while eating dinner. I think I finally have a new comedy to watch. Found myself laughing quite a bit. Is it just me or does anyone else think the main actress looks like Katy Perry?!

The inside is clearly a renovated school or something - there's lockers, the bathroom looks like it used to be a school gym bathroom. And from the outside, it looks like a bit of an urban wasteland. Just how high would rent have to be that four people couldn't pay it?

Didn't Friends have some kind of explanation about how they afforded the apartment? Well, Monica's at least, something about her grandmother?

I get annoyed everytime I see her. She's always typecast into the "adorable quirky girl" and it is starting to bother me. I don't know how else to explain it, but I just dislike how they write all of these "cute, quirky" things that she does/wears/says..

The commercials were enough for me to not want to see this show.. :\

Example:

"Did you just make up your own theme song?!"

Zooey: :D


I don't know.. just not my thing, I guess.

Damn it, I like Damon Wayans Jr.

I'll see how I like his replacement. Half way through episode 2.

I'll watch the first two Happy Endings shows. Hopefully I like him better in that.

I love Zooey, but this is the dumbest new show this Fall. Her cutesy schtick crosses the line into "too stupid to take seriously" territory.

Felt like every minute in this episode I alternated from "Heh, this is pretty funny" to "this is the lowest of all comedy and I can't see why I am watching this".

This show has a few laughs but is more amusing than funny.

2 Broke Girls is neither amusing nor funny and is jammed with so many flat one liners that it's difficult to watch.

I enjoy New Girl even when it isnt funny because, like you said, its amusing. I agree about Two Broke Girls too. I tried watching 2 episodes now and its just so dull and stupid. Its only worth watching because of Kat Dennings.

Watching this episode after missing every after the pilot. I like it a lot more.

"Like having a hot alcoholic cat"

"Oh Schmidt, one day you're gonna kill the nicest girl!"

Watched last night's episode. I'm intrigued, I'll continue to watch for now but I'm not fully sold.

The awkwardness makes me groan though.

With each episode I'm liking it more and more. The scenes when Jess tries to talk to Nick before he goes on his date
"The adventure begins..."
, and the line:
Let me see the hub - where it connects
were so odd, ridiculous, and funny that I re-watch those parts about 3 times.

That scene with Schmidt and Cece was perfect...

I don't think it could have been any better than that. It was just a really really great episode all around.

Also I need a gif of Schmidt doing that wall walk at the beginning of the episode. I was dying that entire time :lol
