September 28, 201113 yr Just watched the New Girl pilot. Terrible show but Zooey is absolutely fabulous and pretty much saves it.
September 28, 201113 yr I don't agree that it's terrible, very promising in fact. The supporting cast is universally strong with fantastic chemistry. There are no terrible stereotyped jokes about misogyny and sex. It's all fairly intelligent and well shot with a lovely single cam gloss. Second episode moved things along nicely.
September 28, 201113 yr The cast has incredible chemistry, that is true! But the whole thing so far just looks uninspiring. A girl moves in with 3 guys, so what? We'll see how it goes in the next weeks.
September 28, 201113 yr The jokes aren't. Even the token womaniser character is respectful of women and not just a 2D shag machine. The characters are really well drawn. The set-up is stereotypical but I don't see that as a problem.
September 28, 201113 yr I don't think the second episode was any better than the pilot really. I'll give it a couple of weeks for things to pick up but watching will eventually become a chore if it remains the same and I'll have to drop it. Zooey can only save things so much, I'm not keen on any of the guys right now. New Girl has been given another 11 episodes to bring the episode order up to 24. Edited September 28, 201113 yr by Jáhq
September 29, 201113 yr The third ep of Up All Night was nothing short of brilliant. I loved Reagan dressing up 'fancy' for breakfast and Ava reminiscing over Basically on youtube. Hilarious.
September 29, 201113 yr I gave 'Up All Night' one more chance but no thank you. I'm done with it. I'll give 'New Girl' another episode but even Zooey isn't enough to make me like it. :(
October 1, 201113 yr I take it all back. Up all Night is rather AMAZING. 2 minutes in and I'm properly ROFLing.
October 1, 201113 yr I never had an opinion on it per se though... I am kind of annoyed with camera shaking a lot. It makes me wanna throw up tbh. Edited October 1, 201113 yr by Conderella
October 1, 201113 yr YOU SAID IT LOOKED CHEAP. CBS CHEAP. You were WRONG. :D I've seen a few comments about how people don't like Ava and think she doesn't suit the show. She's the best thing about it! Well actually all three are amazing and super talented but I love the way Ava points when she's speaking like she's always in inspirational Oprah mode.

I've never even seen a trailer before saying such horrible things :o Oh and NBC-cheap, not CBS-cheap. And OMG Ava is absolutely fabulous indeed! *.*
October 3, 201113 yr 'New Girl' is brilliant! It shouldn't work on paper but it does. It is shot so beautifully and all of the cast have great chemistry blah blah. It's all been said. I do think it's VERY quirky and obviously appeals to a certain niche audience, but I just like finding a comedy that doesn't have a laughing track after every other line.
October 4, 201113 yr NBC has given full season pickups to 'Whitney' & 'Up All Night'. 'The Playboy Club' must be gone very soon, after getting a 1.2 this week. TAAHM still getting as high as a 6.1 so I wonder where it will finally stabalize.
