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.

I barely watch this show but Schmidt seems the funniest to me. There was an end sequence where he complained that he couldn't find his driving moccasins and I was like "Oh shit, he is basically Tom Haverford."
― ban opinions (reddening), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah Schmidt is definitely the best part of the show, the montage with the douchebag jar was great.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
imo the funniest episodes are "Bells", "Bad in Bed" and "The Landlord"
honorable mention to "The 23rd" and "The Story of the 50"

Watched the first four episodes of New Girl a while back. It was horrible. Did it improve like 1000x?
Yes. I'd probably recommend "Jess and Julia", actually. It's a total trad sitcom though.

zooey is pretty much exactly the same, but they've done a decent job fleshing out the guys
― Nhex, Thursday, 9 February 2012 04:54 (twelve years ago) link
I thought she was slightly less ditzy in the last two episodes, but that could be a transient thing.
― trishyb, Thursday, 9 February 2012 09:30 (twelve years ago) link
i think they realized she can't be that one-dimension AND stay the main character, it's like if "Friends" was called "Phoebe"
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Thursday, 9 February 2012 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
one-dimensional
Yeah, I don't think she's stayed exactly the same either. She's much less awkward and doesn't randomly burst into song nearly as much. I feel like she even dresses differently but maybe I'm misremembering.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Thursday, 9 February 2012 16:32 (twelve years ago) link
She doesn't seem to dress quite so hideously as she does in the opening titles and did in the first few episodes, when she wore clothes that seemed specially designed to make her look gawky and terrible, like Harrison Ford's clothes in Mosquito Coast.
― trishyb, Thursday, 9 February 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
Now I feel like creating a Harrison Ford in "Mosquito Coast - damn, damn, damn does this man look good" thread but I will abstain.
― A funnier, sunnier (Nicole), Thursday, 9 February 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link
they really need to ditch those opening titles
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Thursday, 9 February 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
or at least play the whole thing so it's clear the guys are very obviously being put upon
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Thursday, 9 February 2012 18:13 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, that's the thing: the show initially seemed to be making the bold move of casting a popular attractive actress as a fairly unattractive character who was almost painfully awkward. ("Bold" != "fun to watch") The character seems much more comfortable and conventionally feminine in some ways now, more of a 'cute girl who likes ribbons and cupcakes'. (And it happened too fast to fall into an 'ugly duckling' narrative arc.)

Alessandra Rizzotti is a former child model who currently works for the R-rated cartoon show Family Guy. She’s written for Smith, Heeb and Neave's online magazines, and has been published in two Harper Perennial books. Alessandra lives in Silverlake where she makes terrariums and spends time with her five animals, Maude the dog, cats Hunter, Max and Princess Bunny Buttons, as well as her boyfriend, who she affectionately calls "Bear". You can see more of her work here and there, but maybe just follow her everywhere.
I can't.

i know! i too was terribly bothered by the missing animal. maude, hunter, max and princess bb = four, only four!

It's confusing.
I would say "...spends time her five animals: Maude the dog; cats Hunter, Max, and Princess Bunny Buttons; and her boyfriend, whom she affectionately calls 'Bear.'"
― Ascot Fitzgerald (jaymc), Friday, 24 February 2012 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
what a surprisingly horribly formed joke from someone who thinks it's funny to name their pet "princess bunny buttons"
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
can I just say, byline photos like hers are one of my biggest pet peeves
like, if that's what you're going to go with, why don't you just put up a picture of smiley face and rainbows wrapped around a unicorn and call it day

i mean TV 14 is probably the closest analogue to an R rating if we're comparing TV content ratings and movie content ratings (xpost)

where she makes terrariums
How does someone 'make' a terranium? You fling a load of soil and plants into a fishbowl, that's it!
