Grady, it looks complete garbage, c'mon. That's why I said I was surprised! Don't be a jerk.

x-posts You too, Jon.
Thank you, Lamp. Everything about it looks like it would be painful to watch but, like I said, I'm willing to suspend disbelief and give it a shot.

I have seen the show twice: once b/c a girl who was in an improv class I took 3 yrs ago had a small role in it (she was one of the bell ringers) and then the most recent ep, b/c I heard it was self-aware abt Zooey's image. Both eps were funnier than I expected but also not really essential.

i havent seen any of the nu-era new girl episodes i saw one abt a wedding and one that was the pilot and one abt finding a dead body or s.thing

Mostly I'm just not a big sitcom person these days. This better be good now.

I get dismissing it out of hand, I did too until my wife made me watch a couple episodes with her. It was just the part about being "aghast" that someone would like it was kinda nagl when you hadn't seen it yourself.

I was about to be all "... dead body?" but then I remembered, that was the Thanksgiving episode

Admittedly that was a pretty strong word but I was genuinely surprised! I was just being honest. Also, I would not go around ILX calling people out for posting things that might not be AGL if I were you. Just saying.

yeah i mean...pretty much nobody defending the show right now really WANTS to or was rooting for it to be good itt last fall. i feel like that kind of grudging, hard won appreciation should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Was Squirrel Police someone's sock or an old poster I'm just not aware of?

JonChi, of course you can post around me - I often like your posts. I just wouldn't get snippy with me because, as we all know since you so astutely pointed it out, I can be a total bitch.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
That's the first picture I've ever seen of her that makes her look semi-cute.-- Squirrel_Police
Although she looks way older than she is. I'll buy the alcoholic thing on that basis alone.
-- Squirrel_Police
I must assume you're joking.
-- Johnny Fever
she probably doesn't want to be fancied by someone wearing a little police uniform with acorns embroidered on it.

x-post - OK that was sort of bitchy. I'm just in a shitty mood and maybe that wasn't called for. I will watch the damn show and report back. Since the recent ones are better can I just watch those? I mean, I won't be lost or anything, right?
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
It wasn't meant to be "snippy", I was just quoting what I thought was a funny way to word that, like you immediately undercut your own argument with that next sentence.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, no I get that. Like I said - I'm probably prone to overeating right now. Sorry.

take it to the diet thread
― buzza, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's a definitely a trad sitcom in that any episode works as a standalone, not really any long term plot to worry about

You won't understand anything about the drug cartels and the Lake Tahoe suitcase if you start with later episodes.

While my language was a little dramatic, I still think that it's OK something looks like crap before you've seen or heard it and you're all lying if you claim to never have done/thought that.

"that it's OK to think that something looks like crap . . . "

Of course thats OK to do! Just don't cast aspersions on how other people might possibly be enjoying said thing though.
