SAM_Hard8 50 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I am seriously in love with Zooey Deschanel so I'll watch it anyway but I don't think it will be around long unless they step it up. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hard to judge any show after one episode. If I can get through 3 and it still holds my interest than I am good. I love Zooey as well and have been looking forward to it. I am not fond of the douche guy, but I like coach and the normal guy. I will give it 2 more eps though. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 She's typically a great side character, I don't picture her carrying a show. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 She's typically a great side character, I don't picture her carrying a show.I don't know. She has 3 other co-stars so it might be doable since I don't think she would need to carry it. But the douchey guy might annoy me enough to not see a 4th ep. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I actually liked this a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I liked it, I actually laughed out loud a couple times, which is rare for me when I watch sitcoms. My comment to my wife was "this is a show that could really really suck with the wrong cast", but they seemed to have found the right people and the right note.Hopefully they can keep this going, but it seems like a big challenge because the characters are right on that edge of being too cartoonish. Move one way, they're boring, move the other way, it's just a live-action cartoon. Stay where you are and the joke wears thin quickly. It takes good writers to get a couple seasons out of a premise like this. Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,026 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The Wayans brother won't be on the show--I think he taped the pillot before Happy Endings got picked up.I liked New Girl, but I had a hard time with no one on the looks/awkward ratio of Zoey D. She's a beautiful woman, with a real specific look, and it's weird none of the characters on the screen mention it. Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Episode 2: Dropping off the cliff. I wondered if that would happen, the premise is funny but very thin. Hopefully they can pick it back up. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I thought the writing was clearly better in this ep than the pilot. I enjoyed it. Link to post Share on other sites

SAM_Hard8 50 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 FOX has ordered an additional 11 episodes of the hit comedy NEW GIRL, bringing the series to a 24-episode season order, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “We love the charming Zooey Deschanel and the entire cast, we’re knocked out with the work that Liz Meriwether and the whole staff is doing and we are really psyched about the upcoming episodes in the pipeline," said Reilly. “It's great that audiences have responded so positively so far and we're confident that even more people will embrace the show – and more comedy on FOX – this season." NEW GIRL premiered as FOX’s highest-rated fall sitcom debut in 10 years. Since it launched, the single-camera comedy has quickly established itself as Tuesday’s No. 1 series among Adults 18-49 and this season’s No. 1 new series among Adults 18-34, Women 18-34 and Teens.

SBriand 4 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sweet. I enjoy it. It's not the next Seinfeld but it is an entertaining 22 minutes on a night where I watch nothing else at all because it all sucks. Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I didn't see that much of a difference. How did it drop off a cliff?I'm not sure I can explain it. There's this balance between manic and sensible that this show needs. The first week I thought they found it, this week, not so much. Of course, it could just be the mood I was in, but the interactions with the roommates didn't quite work for me. The interactions with the ex-boyfriend were OK, though.

The show seems to have changed for the better since I last watched an episode.I think the writing has gotten way better since the first few eps. Schmidt is less of a cardboard cut out of a douche. I don't put it up there with AD or MD but I enjoy it. And Zooey is getting a divorce and my wife has given me permission to court her! Link to post Share on other sites
