Rolling "New Girl" televison show thread

it's turned a lot into HIMYM for me - it's still enjoyable often enough and i'm invested enough in the characters that i still watch every week. but it's never remarkable. i agree w/ everything else you just wrote.

it's the perfect show to not expect anything from. sometimes it lands, sometimes it doesn't. i fear that they are occasionally joey'ifying nick (i.e. making him more stupid than any human could be for cheap jokes) but so far they've kept that weakness in check. im perfectly content for it to persist or really to wrap at any pt

Peter Gallagher was a nice twist this week, i am not sure when i last saw him in anything

hes in togetherness also

yea I still love this show

Man, the writing in this still crackles in a way HIMYM's never did. Even in the dud episodes, there are a least a dozen brilliant, undersold little lines tucked into the dialogue

otm i watched the entirety of himym and the more i look back on it the more that feels like wasted time on a subpar show

Agree w/ Evan, though it hasn't been as great as I'd like. Also agree about making Nick too unbelievably stupid.

man if you guys think nick is being unbelievably stupid you should go back and watch season 3 for the "suddenly 100% incapable of understanding basic human functions and customs" version of winston

i'm fine with this nick (and this winston, i guess)

it's not as funny as it once was but they've banked a lot of goodwill for "badbye, reagan. badbye."

Winston is carrying this show, and the Schmidt/CeCe wedding arc is weighing it down like a giant anchor

"you know for a guy that eats his raisins hot, your opinion means a lot to me"

you can tell they had megan fox for like one day to shoot all her scenes or else something went screwy w editing

they're putting it down

Had a good run. Jake needs to make more post-mumblecore movies.

6-8 more episodes will be fine, it's time for it to end.

finale tonite

Already!? Granted, it's pretty bad this season.

They've been burning two episodes a week for the past few weeks, including tonight.

oh I think I am missing a few episodes then. thx.

I just checked IMDB, it was just two episodes last week and two tonight for the final four.

I've loved this season. I stand by this show.

Yeah, I am in the camp that thinks it should've ended last season. It's fine now but feels like a different show.

I am trying to remember if there have been outright laughs so far.

I'm enjoying this season, but mostly because the writers have clearly just decided to let it be completely silly and cut the last remaining tethers to believability, which is fine by me.

Nick and Schmidt's interaction over the mustache was great, also liked the Winston masturbation flashback.

I had to google what this masturbation flashback was because I may have fallen asleep during that episode.

The rest of the episode wasn't great, so that's fair, it might just be that college Nick always makes me laugh.

I have absolutely no recollection of this. This was the elementary school episode?

I think so? The B-plot was Nick hiring someone offa craigslist to punch him in the face if he didn't write x number of words and Winston prepping to testify at a trial.

the show is really stupid and really funny. Winston going on the stand and introducing himself as Winston Pants or whatever, that was great.

I have to go back and find this. I had thought they weren't giving Winston enough weird comedy to do this season. I could only recall the thing about his "not dad."

man, those last few episodes were delightful
i hated the cat funeral ep but evetything after was 👌🏻

i want to play True American so bad, it’s my life’s dream u guys

Bim Adewunmi on Buzzfeed wrote a nice piece abt Winston that I enjoyed

I wrote about Winston Bishop, a man I love very, very much: https://t.co/qraKuz7vR7

Rob Reiner's "Oh, NOW you can read the room?" was an A+ laugh line for me.

Gonna miss this show. Winston 4-eva.

Winston was the absolute best character. I would watch a spin off with him.

I am reading the summaries of the episodes from this season. I missed a couple (I really didn't like the first 2 epis) but the wedding episode was great and I am excited about the True American last epi. When I think of New Girl I think of True American and Winston.
