Some great stuff tonight. Held up.

i thought it was decent, though clearly more effort was set up resolving the cliffhanger and setting up this season, which is fine. so much better than that terrible samberg show.

I thought samberg show coulda been much worse. It's not great, but it had some ok lines.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 03:40 (ten years ago) link
the rest of the cast wasn't bad, but samberg pretty much ruined it for me. his whole, "lookit me! i just made a HILARIOUS joke" smirk bothered me so much more than it ever did on snl.

Better than the new Mindy Project though I'm not sure that's high praise

this show's fine. they just added s2 to netflix so we watched like 4 eps last night. do they ever give winston a real plotline? also why does everyone make a big deal about schmidt when nick is clearly the funniest character?
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:26 (ten years ago) link
Winston definitely gets fleshed out, and he gets something of a plotline or two but it's usually the b-plot. Definitely feels like he forced in there at times, no matter how fleshed out he gets. But he's a good enough character and has enough good lines/parts that it doesn't bother me.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:33 (ten years ago) link
feel bad for that dude. he's a funny actor but his character really gets shafted. we watched the one last night where he's bad at pranks, he was great.
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:34 (ten years ago) link
that episode is a Winston tour-de-force
― WHAT DOES SAMANTHA FOX SAY (DJP), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:35 (ten years ago) link
"let's put some juice by her shoe"
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
(though technically that line was delivered by kid-actor winston)
his general prank thing of taking things too far. "Let's stab him...with a knife" or whatever, is hilarious. He was great in the latest episode with the puzzles and the color-blindness.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:37 (ten years ago) link
i didnt really know how i was supposed to feel when they all got away with forgetting winston's bday
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 17:44 (ten years ago) link
This show is kind of like "Moonlighting" in that it got boring quick as soon as the "will they, won't they" suspense was over.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 19:11 (ten years ago) link
I'll give it more than one episode to decide if that's the case.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 19:14 (ten years ago) link
Well, it's been kind of obvious for a while that they were getting together, hasn't it? It seems like the suspense has been gone since midway through last season.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
I really enjoyed there flirting and on again off again weirdness last season, and again this past week. Not sure where it will go. Read that the writers are thinking more along the lines of Jim and Pam and Leslie and Ben instead of Sam and Diane or Ross and Rachel.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 September 2013 19:24 (ten years ago) link
Winston really needs his own show. Schmidt can come. but only if he ditches the love interests.
― Simon H., Thursday, 19 September 2013 05:38 (ten years ago) link
never ditch cece
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 19 September 2013 06:01 (ten years ago) link
Well, no, obviously. But wifey seems so nice. Actually she can do better, losing Schmidt won't be so terrible for her, because she doesn't need to be with someone. But if you ask me who I would rather spend (platonic) time with the answer wouldn't be Cece.
― I have gathered no gaudy flowers of speech in other men's gardens (dowd), Thursday, 19 September 2013 09:31 (ten years ago) link
That scene with Winston, Schmidt and Cece was VERY well choreographed. Lamorne Morris was killing it whenever he was in the background of those shots.

Also Winston wearing a hoodie as pants.

I love that he is this secret weapon the show can break out whenever they need guaranteed laughs.
― Marlo Poco (Phil D.), Thursday, 19 September 2013 14:24 (ten years ago) link
i prefer the kilborn daily show i think its the best one
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 03:02 (ten years ago) link
really do not like what they're doing w/ Schmidt this season. dude was a douche last year but this is next level douchery.
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 03:33 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's kinda ugh
― marky markers & the blinky bunch (some dude), Wednesday, 2 October 2013 03:40 (ten years ago) link
like the whole blaming Jess and Nick thing is so not something he would have done last season, even if it was partially for LOLs. and I still don't understand why he didn't just pick CeCe outright. the dude is vain, he was clearly obsessed with her and only went back to Elizabeth when it was clear CeCe was getting married. yeah, he had that old school connection w/ her, but he never woulda given her a chance if not for CeCe being off the market for real.
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 03:52 (ten years ago) link
watching season 2 on netflix and still laughing over the "we got chokes, hula hoops, and a sitar" thing in the hipster episode.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 05:29 (ten years ago) link
that was probably my favourite line of the whole series.
― koogs, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 08:16 (ten years ago) link
great ep, everything with nick in a motorcycle helmet = A+
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 October 2013 15:55 (ten years ago) link
Winston walking up to the restaurant reservation desk and eating the glass bead thinking it was a mint = greatest thing ever.
― My question is primarily riparian (Phil D.), Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:23 (ten years ago) link
Winston was really the MVP of the episode. His antics to shoo other people away from the community table were the best.
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:26 (ten years ago) link
I really hope the show doesn't go to darker places though, as that's not its niche. Hoping the whole Schmidt thread of trying to break Jess/Nick up doesn't become the prevailing story arc, but I doubt they're likely to just leave it untouched, so I have a bad feeling about it.
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:27 (ten years ago) link
It's the basis of the next episode so def an arc. Hopefully a short one.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:51 (ten years ago) link
it needs some darkness to balance out the preciously goofy antics
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:58 (ten years ago) link
i doubt it'll be long. i hope they stop trying to get CeCe and Schmidt together now, but of course we'll be dragged into that again i'm sure
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 October 2013 17:59 (ten years ago) link
Winston's monologue about the double date was brilliant. At firs they cut away to him and all 4 have these amazing responses, then they go back and it's just him rambling on. He really is amazing. Such a great cast.

That was one of their funniest episodes
― some dude, Wednesday, 9 October 2013 12:34 (ten years ago) link
definitely. it is going to "darker places" though, i think, as neanderthal feared. i can't imagine how angry i would be at schmidt if i were nick or jess.
― Treeship, Wednesday, 9 October 2013 13:01 (ten years ago) link
well that was great
Team Winston, kind of amazed they're just making him flat-out bananas and it isn't bothering me
