Rolling "New Girl" televison show thread

between the weak shit they're giving him to do on the show and all the movies he's doing, wondering if jake johnston might be David Caruso-ing out the door before long

man i can be super patient w/ shows (himym) but i bailed on suburgatory after like two episodes this season

I made it to the one where Alan tudyk came back and I regret not leaving earlier

i'm all caught up :(

I felt like Bart when "krusty" finally shows up at kamp krusty

Xpost

like i'm more curious about community season 4

yeah i hated when they were finally going to let him show off his lawyer skills when schmidt got sued and he was just an incoherent mess - his save at the end was so weak I thought they might actually just have the actual lawyers be like "well, no. why would we accept that?"

I was hoping Nick would whip out some crazy lawyer skills, get "Where the fuck did that come from?!" reactions from Schmidt and Winston, leave the opposing lawyers in the dust, and remain an utterly hopeless schlub in every other aspect of his life. Instead of "I'm not the guy who puts a toy together!" he could've been "I'm not the guy who's a lawyer!" Or something.

But srsly did I miss some expo on why cece would just be walking in and out of their apt, elevator and building all day?

they're friends? her life is a mess right now?

She didn't interact with Jess once though! Just with the ex who doubletimed her and his roommate who she hooked up with. Just curious if there was a line about crashing there after drinking and waiting for a drug shipment to arrive that would require multiple trips in and out or something.

well they have been working on storylines about her growing closer to the roommates, right?

Hey I'm more than capable of doing their work for them too, I'm just curious if they did it and I missed it. And this is coming from a place of amused curiosity, no need for "it's just a comedy, who cares" responses

i've just been assuming that deleted scenes will show her and daddario lezzing it up and that's why she's there. just closing my eyes and assuming.

lol

Croup as OTM as ever wrt this season.

I'm mainly watching this show for Winston right now. They've messed with Schmidt too much (although he can be brought back).

I assumed Cece spent the night there after playing True American and was too hungover to leave? When I am hungover I don't have a ton of agency.

OTM, it's not an issue.

what is schmidt even doing besides not really living in his apartment

Never forget:

^^^^ winston = mvp

is this just yelling now

so totally down for this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2TpGj6q_qY

aw man that could be so terrible but i want to watch it

that trailer is wall to wall laughs imo

yeahhh but that could easily be all the good moments too
i was wrong about 21 Jump Street so who knows

That looks amazing

was this just made for winston's benefit

very confusing

they broke this show when they broke them up. the inverse of the typical sitcom rule, but the last few episodes of last season were joyless.

"just doin' e and watchin that show ed"

me irl

not only am i mad that they've intentionally crushed all sexual tension between the characters from a shipping standpoint, i think it's also reduced everyone's character to "i'm a well-meaning idiot" lest they accidentally click on any level beyond "amiable roommate"

there are still decent jokes and takes but omggggg why would they delete season 2 from the show's psychological record AS WELL AS season 3?

i wonder if hollywood up-and-comer jake johnston wears sunglasses between takes and lets everyone know he's their shelley long cuz i don't know why else you'd take the show's romantic lead and turn him into a sexless oaf

p much agree, still has lols but its not promising to have as zzzz an ep plot structure as the tinder/weed 1 so early in the season

i was so invested in nick miller's emotional growth, i feel schmidt-level frustrated about this

Croup OTM as ever

not watched the new series yet, but feel they screwed the pooch v badly at the end of s3

yeah.

second episode was better than first, but it's all pretty broad slapstick and sex and wackiness. not a lot of plot or heart.

yeah, it seems they're just trying tobring to yuks now--which is cool--but I'm contnet to catch up on this show next summer on Netflix.

to bring

ugh nm

I lolled hardcore at this week's 'cumin' gag but yeah, this show is treading water and has been for a while. I assumed when it started that the show would be a bunch of nutty kooks yelling at each other and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to have some depth, but now it seems to be devolving into exactly that.

Mostly it just makes me wish 'Happy Endings' was still around :(

Before I start trying to download any of the new episodes, are they giving anything cool for Winston to do this season? Because he was woefully underused last season.

nope :(

They've moved on the Winston-at-police0academy storyline a bit but 'woefully underused' is otm. Which is tragic, because he is one of TV's most wonderfully odd characters.
