 Re: New Girl
Nah, this show is hilarious and tonight's episode was good. Not the best, but good.

 Re: New Girl
Zooey is hilarious, but not so much on this show. She has her moments, but the material is not very good. It's sad because this role is perfect for her. If it is renewed for a second season, which it should be, I sure hope it improves. New writers would be a start.

 Re: New Girl
I've liked most of the episodes, but last night's episode was pretty bad. The only time I laughed was the line about Zooey asking where the couch and the fridge went, but I can't even remember the entire line, so it couldn't have been too memorable. Hopefully next week it's better, or is it on hiatus?

 Re: New Girl
No, it has a few more episodes before its winter hiatus, including a Christmas one.

 Re: New Girl
I swear, after suffering through "Glee" episodes these days this is such a breath of fresh air. Tonight's episode was hysterical.

 Re: New Girl
Usually for me Glee is the more enjoyable one  . This show is mostly hit and miss. Not like Glee is amazing, but I'm usually more entertained by it.

 Re: New Girl
The last two episodes have been horrible. So far only 2 really good episodes (#4 and #6) among the eight, two decent ones and the rest terribly bad. No wonder the ratings have dropped like a rock

 Re: New Girl
It's definitely understandable the ratings have went down so much.

 Re: New Girl
This show is far better and more consistent than "2 Broke Girls," which can go from HILARIOUS to atrocious about every five minutes

 Re: New Girl
Every other character aside from the two leads is awful on "2BG."

 Re: New Girl
New Girl had one of its best episodes tonight. I liked that they addressed head on that...some people find Zooey Deschenal (or, in this case, Jess) annoying. Kind of an interesting direction for the episode. Lizzy Caplan being awesome helps too, although I doubt she'll stay around for more than 2 or 3 more episodes.

 Re: New Girl
Speaking objectively, New Girl is starting to find a rhythm. They've spent 11 episodes (10 for Winston) fleshing out these characters and now they're finding the right way to use them. Slow and steady... hopefully they keep going in the right direction.

 Re: New Girl
I'm really enjoying this show. Idk if it was a repeat when I last saw it but it had to do with Zoey having to go to court to pay a 800$ fine. I thought it was hilarious. I like the neat freak roommate and when he came in the room after they had just mentioned the word lesbian was too funny. It's a really good show.

Which I think has been improving since the pilot which I wasn't a fan of like most people. But it has found a rhythm now and it's pretty good.

 Re: New Girl
I should give 2BG a try just to see if it's actually funny. It's commericals are not.

 Re: New Girl
Commercials typically overhype every show. I don't recall many properly constructed commercials in the last few years.

 Re: New Girl
The threesome scene was one of the funniest scenes yet on this show.

 Re: New Girl
I've only seen the first four episodes so far and while it's not laugh-out-loud funny for me, I still think it's a very charming show and Deschanel is just out of this world cute.
