Rolling "New Girl" televison show thread

The Get Lucky montage

That was one of their funniest episodes

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.

well that was great

Team Winston, kind of amazed they're just making him flat-out bananas and it isn't bothering me

cat brothel

i understood at least 30% of the financial crisis and guess what i got from that u suuuuuuuuuuuck u suuuuuuck so hard

Haha, loved that. Nick's "box" "logic" was hilarious, too.

poor Jillian Armanante

need a montage of schmidt saying words with 'tt' in them

Lamorne Morris + Damon Wayans Jr. + Taye Diggs last night = African-American actors are getting better, funnier work on this show than anywhere else on network TV. Who would've thought so for The Zooey Deschanel Show?

wayans did his best with a shitty script i thought but dang all i could think was how GLAD i was that he got replaced by lamorne morris

taye extending his leg was amazing

yeah that was pretty much a complete waste of wayans, he was much much much better on happy endings.

He's recurring for the rest of the season.

That convo with Coach, Nick and Jess was a thing of beauty, though. "I'm just telling her what kind of cake to make me, son!"

I feel like the original Coach character was closer to Winston. I remember him being weird and awkward in the pilot. I feel like any attributes he may have had were adopted by Winston when replaced, and now that he's back they came up with a new version of Coach who's different than in the pilot. I thought Taye Diggs stole the episode though. Not my fave episode of recent, but still good stuff.

I looove the little "YEAH, we got Bin Laden" flashback, followed by "I thought I was alone for that?"

i did get the impression that they deliberately let the tone of the episode jar a bit to match the (re)introduction of the character. like, ok, here's a thing, then obviously they will compensate and pretty soon coach will probably be entangled in the apartment's neuroses like everyone else.

is coach back permanently?

ish

to the end of the season. note that wayans has another pilot up for next fall

now they just need to cast eliza coupe and we're good

Schmidt pronouncing "Chinese food" with a short "i."

i thought this whole schmidt moves out storyline was going to be dumb, but if it leads to more scenes like him dancing to the workout track through the walls, it'll be ok.

God that was awesome

balls OTM

i liked the restaurant owner

His telling the truth "Chinese food is MSG and we use menus to sell food" or whatever, was great.

A+ episode last night, everybody got good stuff

Yeah, I was really digging Winston's arc. And Wayans seemed a lot more comfortable in his role this time out.

"The musician is reportedly a fan of the show and requested to appear in the episode."

Best is how he apparently pitched the writers the concept, etc. for the episode.

this is everything I love about life

wrong thread, Dan

lol no, Prince swanning onto a hit television show and warping it around himself is actually an example of everything I love about life

haven't listened to the Beyonce album yet

you just know he's written an entire album for Hannah Simone (and hasn't heard her sing yet)

haha OTM

hahaha

who can blame the man?

'anyone else here named after their career???'

this moment is so chill and absent of drama i want to call it tim duncan

haha classic line

Weird how this show is going through a stealth retool in the last month or so

• Coach feels semi-permanent now, probably depends on if Wayan's pilot gets picked up next season
• Winston quit his job at the radio station, now looks like he's gonna be a cop? I guess because having two sports-based characters was overkill and frankly he deserves a push
• Cece inexplicably goes form being a model to a bartender
• Kind of subtle, but the reveal that Nick did complete the bar exam and is choosing to be a bartender is a good step away from a seemingly inevitable "Nick gets his shit together and finishes law school" angle (please don't do this, New Girl)

was cece related to the bits about her job last year? e.g. it being idiotic, no one at the date-a-thon wanting to marry her, etc.

gonna miss her roommates if they're leaving modeling behind :(

mick mouse!

<3 u 4eva lady L

i guess she's getting an arc?
