New Girl (spoilers)

did you watch the premier of the show?

I had been really excited for it and felt disappointed.

I will give it another chance though... I'm hopeful.

  • I felt the same way.  I thought Jess' "geekiness" felt forced at times.  I really liked the ending though.  I'll probably give it another chance and hope it will get better.

  • I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was awesome, but pilots are usually a bit awkward. I will watch again.

  • I thought it was really cute. I admit I had low expectations. DH is a big fan of Zoey Deschanel - I'm...not. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised. 
  • The LOTR references had me really loling.  I'll keep on watching.

  • I liked it! I thought it was silly and cute, though not like earth shattering with originality, but I'll watch it again.

  • It was on demand this weekend.  H and I watched it yesterday.  I really enjoyed it.  It got me giggling a few times.  H didn't seem to enjoy it so much.

  • I actually thought it was going to be kind of dumb, but it had me laughing quite a bit.  It was a good pick me up after Glee being ultra dull, and a good lead in to the hilarity that is Raising Hope.
  • I enjoyed it and will watch again.

  • I enjoyed it but I'm a Zooey Deschanel fan.  It had me laughing a few times and even had DH cracking up though he won't admit that he liked it.

    I laughed so hard at the Smeegal comment that I woke up my two year old! I was DYING!

  • I had low expectations but found myself enjoying it. I got interrupted half way through though--can someone please tell me what happened in the rest of the episode?
  • Ditto pp.. I also felt that some of the geekiness or some of the shenanigans of the roomates were a little forced, but overall I liked it. DH and I lol'd to a few things especially the Douchebag Jar.. hilarious! I'll definitely give it another chance.
  • I thought it was cute. Not LOL. But I'll keep watching...

    I agree.  The characters need time to evolve.  I think it has potential and there were a few parts that I LOL'ed to.  I like Zooey D. as an actress.  I think in the pilot, sometimes they try to cram in too much to get you hooked.  Although I liked the ending, I really don't think they should've "advanced" the roomies relationships that fast.

    Also, and maybe this is something that won't bother me with a few more episodes, but the whole "coach" name for the one roommate - along with that and his "tough guy" act, kinda annoyed me...actually, the only roommate that doesn't bother me (aside from Jess), is the bartender guy.  The other one was *trying* too hard to get into character...I think he may have been trying to be like Joey from "Friends"?

    MH and I lol'd @ the Douchebag jar idea too!  Would it be rude to gift that to someone for Christmas?  (I'm kidding).

  • I liked it! It was on Hulu this weekend and I actually watched it again last night. All in all, a decent night of tv (Glee, New Girl, and Raising Hope was absolutely hilarious!).

  • I'm in the minority of those who didn't like it.  I thought it was forced.  I'll give it another shot but so far, it's on my list to delete.  
  • I liked it.

    Coach won't be on anymore for those of you who didn't like him.  He's on Happy Endings so next week he will be gone and they will have new (old) roommate back from somewhere overseas or something.

  • What? Coach won't be back on? That's a pretty good way to lose viewers, as he was hilarious! Why change the whole dynamic of the show? I mean, I know it was just the pilot, but still. Zooey D. is cute and was pretty funny, but I agree with PP about the geekiness being forced. The show as a whole was amusing, but I had higher expectations primarily because of her. FI is in love with her but didn't even care too much for the show either lol. I'll try to keep watching, but I'm really hoping that it gets better.

    At least the show on after it, Raising Hope, which I had never seen before, was truly hilarious!

     

    And on another note, I'm really excited for new episodes (finally!!) of The Middle and Modern Family! yay!

  • Noooo I really liked Coach. That whole "STOP THAT RIGHT NOW" thing cracked me up!

    We need a token black guy!

    new roomate is also a black guy.

    they shot the pilot with "coach" when they thought happy endings (his old show) was going to be cancelled. so of course he took a new job. but then it got picked up for another season, so he went back to that show, and thus a new roomate comes into the picture, because the pilot had already probably been sent out, and promos made and whatnot.

  • It was ok---funny in some parts. I don't love it, but I will keep watching because there's nothing else on.

  • bummer i liked coach a lot. 

    i thought the show was cute. i liked it and lol-ed a few times.  

  • I'm kind of meh about it. I want to find it cute and endearing, but I don't find the character of Jess that believable. And if I knew her in real life I might smack her lol. We'll keep watching because it's between Glee and Raising Hope (and DH loved it) but I'm not convinced it will be a fav.
