this show is stupid, but dammit, i do love Krysten Ritter in this. feels like a more "it's always sunny"-fied version of New Girl
still not really on board with the van der beek thing, but i did love that indiana jones joke from the second ep

I think of gr8080 as ILX's van der Beek

Ok I really liked this ep. Managed to find myself pretty consistently surprised by the twists. The writing kept things fast paced. I found myself accidentally narrating the action outloud like a young child or something, just sort of to help myself keep up. The humor is still broad and "edgy" not at all like the character-driven stuff ilx/avclub tends to go for.

still haven't watched this, but it looks like there's a chance it's gonna be an either/or situation with this and Happy Endings for renewal.

i seriously doubt this will be renewed, but then again i never expected Happy Endings to come back, let alone be the best new sitcom of the year, so what the hell do i know about ABC execs
― Nhex, Thursday, 3 May 2012 03:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
but yeah, i like this show... i wish they would kinda just let the B be a B without having every episode give her a face turn, but eh

They have an unwavering faith in Tim Allen.

At this point I think she's like less a B than just a self-involved narcissist with the attention span of a gnat. Which is a much more fun character.

Someone in the AV Club comments called this show out as a live-action pastiche of American Dad with Chloe as the Roger character and that image has really stuck in my head, particularly with Ritter's semi-gangly body language.

oh it's really mean to compare this show to american dad
― Neil Young’s social media channels (some dude), Friday, 4 May 2012 02:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
maybe it'll be as good as american dad at some point, but it'll take some time

woah guys! michael bolton! playing himself! i think this whole celebrity-playing-unflattering-version-of-themselves meta thing might finally go semi-mainstream soon!

thanksgiving episode really delivered. they're walking a line between either humanizing ritter too much or just making her increasingly terrible (or just leaving her be and having the character end up one-note), but for now they're pulling it off. it's like if you built a whole show around kramer subplots.

So _Vamps_ is a really good film, and Ritter is perfect for it.

"You from Queens"
in other news, both this and happy endings seem like their ratings are pretty bad and they could be cancelled.

looking at the previews of the 2013 season, I feel like this show was the far end of a pendulum swing now going back towards "mainstream" banality
