Is The New Girl always terrible?

[gozf]

I fear I'm coming to the end of Netflix streaming, and I started watching this show because I guess I like Zooey Deschanel fine.

This is a really dumb show. I'm only a few episodes in. And I hate it. But I can't stop watching. I'm hate-watching. Will I hate-watch all 49 episodes, or does this get better?

I think it's cute and has a lot of funny moments, though it's certainly not a favorite show of mine. From what I remember, it does get better further on - sort of finds it's place and hits it's stride, if that makes sense.

shut up, i like this show! i love schmidt so so much.

[McGavin]

You've only watched the first few? It gets way better, finish the season at least. It's funny!

I hate them all right now, but this gives me hope.

I'll keep watching. Otherwise, I'm gonna start yelling at people in the panhandler thread, and I'm supposed to be relaxing, not getting riled.

[janegold]

It's definitely a polarizing show. I like it though, I laugh out loud regularly.

[wambam]

The episode where they were all telling the stories of losing their virginity - I was crying, pain in my gut, hysterically laughing.

But until that point, I was hate watching too lol.

[Jalapeñomel]

It's terrible. I don't get the appeal.

...But I find myself watching it in the middle of the night when I am breastfeeding...

[pantsparty]

Watch Derek instead.

[shoeless]

I don't love it, I don't hate it.... it passes the time. I can see why people don't like it.

[coribelle26]

I really like it, much more because of the guys (though I have always enjoyed Zooey Deschanel, I just think they steal the show).

My favorite episode is the one where they are at the cabin with Dr. Sam and Olivia Munn and they drink all the absinthe.

Aww, gozf! I like The New Girl! Try some more episodes!

I'm on the schmidt's 29th birthday episode, and I'm still underwhelmed.

It will get better?

I don't even remember that.  LOL.

I just think the show is so cute!

I wish I had hair like her. The hair envy is adding the the venom of my hate-watching.

My hair is thin.

[pugz]

Mindy Project is so much better!

[ErinExpat]

Keep watching!

[W.T.Faulkner]

I refuse to watch this show because my hatred of Zooey Deschanel is blind and unparalleled.

[rosiedozie]

I think it gets much better towards the end of season 1 and into season 2. The current season (that's on TV now) is falling a little flat for me, hopefully it picks up soon.

[gozf]

Ok, I laughed a lot at the episode with the landlord.

[rex]

I don't understand. I love that show so much! I laugh out loud regularly. I have a soft spot for Nick.

DH hates her too, but he tried to watch a few episodes with me.  I think he'd rather put a fork in his eye than ever watch it again.

I forced myself through about 5 episodes and didn't think it was funny at all. I did like Schmidt, but in general I thought it tried way too hard and was too forced.

[liverandonions]

GOZF I get you. I watched three episodes and decided that show is awful!!!

Yes! it's the trying too hard thing that is difficult to get past, especially with the guys.

This is what gets me. It's like she's standing in front of you, waving her arms, yelling "LOOK HOW QUIRKY I AM!"
And her singing is like nails on a chalkboard. Not fingernails, actual nails, like carpenters use.

[janiejones]

Hate watching. It's just not good. I mean, it gets better, but it's still terrible.

I always wonder if they ad-lib parts or if the writing is really that bad.

Omg I was crying laughing watching this episode.
It took me quite a few episodes to get into it and then I was obsessed and stayed up until 2:00 am finishing season 2 so I could start the new season.

[RoxMonster]

It's one of the shows I sort of half-watch as I do something else. I am not a big fan of sitcoms, in general, though. It's OK but definitely not my favorite. I will say I busted a gut laughing at the episode where she was a model at a car show. That was hysterical.

That was my very favorite episode!  I had to pause it I was laughing so hard.  I really liked it from about the middle of season 1 until the middle of season 2.  Now I am still watching it, but about to drop it.
