you can grab the first episode of this new series with a quick google......it looked from the preview a while ago that this could be a fun prog.....but the preview i saw turns out to be all the funny bits.....its like seeing a trailer for a film and waste your money going to see it and find out the trailer showed all the best bits.......i can see this being chopped very soon.....a lot like the paul reiser show.

For a pilot i'd give it 6/10.
Agree with all you said, except I didn't really mind the singing. Will give it another try as it's Zooey Deschanel, but might wait until it's on E4.
It's already obvious who she will get together with, the one who was hesitant to start with will fall in love her but the "douchebag jar" one will get there first. Hoping she doesn't get together with any of them, but we know it's going to happen eventually, either that or it's cancelled before that happens.
Although they're on different networks, it doesn't give me hope for the other comedies I'm watching just because I like the lead actress - 2 Broke Girls (Kat Dennings), Apartment 23 (Krysten Ritter).
It's already been picked up for a full season, so it has plenty of time to improve, if I still not keen after the next episode, I'll give it a few months and come back to it as I want to like it.
Back when you made this comment I rolled my eyes. I knew this show was not only NOT going to get chopped "very soon," it would be a hit. And that is what has happened.
Suprised at it's ratings in the US though:eek:
Nice article from the guys at TWOP on how Zooey always plays the same character: http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/new_girl/new-girl-shes-just-being-zooey-deschanel-characters-photos.php
From the article:
Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds her both adorable and irritating. I find her cute act cheap and manipulative, but somehow that doesn't stop it from working even if I resent it. But I won't watch a show that looks pretty bad just because of the lead.
well thats very big of you......its not original or ground breaking in any form though......just right for the average american or canadian
I haven't even watched it. I don't care about it, but I knew it would be popular, because it really IS the kind of thing that appeals to the average American (Canadians aren't counted in the US ratings). Your original post seemed to imply that just because you didn't like it that meant it was bound to fail in America.
i mentioned canadians as your the poor cousin but i wanted you to be involved.......and then i learn that you have not even see the prog......please dont pass judgement untill you have done your due diligence.
I didn't pass judgment on the programme. I passed judgment on you for assuming that just because YOU didn't like something that it would be be a flop.:rolleyes: Of course now that it is a hit, are you at all humble about making a dumb prediction? Nope, you just have to lash out at somebody who notes what you said at the top of the thread.
if you read my opening again....i dont actually say that i dont like it.....i was pissed off that the preview showed all the quirky bits and nothing was held back for the main show......i got the same impact that the new paul reiser show gave.......and it will end up the same way.....mark my words
Best to watch the episode rather than judging from the trailer. It's not about a pretty girl who's overlooked because she wears glasses, more that she's a bit of a fruit cake, which undoes her hotness. Something the episode makes.direct reference to. Personally, I loved it. Funnier than the majority of UK sitcoms which we're subjected to here.
That's just your opinion. I think it makes her even sexier.
Oh, I agree. That's just how the show's pitching it.
I'm another one who started watching just because Zooey was in it, but I'm actually really enjoying it. I don't think there's a lot original here, but it's pretty well made, and I'm warming to the characters, especially Schmidt. Just hope the writing picks up a bit, because there's so much potential for this show to be exceptional, it's just resting at quite good at the moment IMO.
