New Girl on FOX HD - Page 12

Best line IMO was Nick at the end after swigging some Absinthe: "Well, I'm gonna poop funny tonight".

Wow, I don't get all the hate. I don't think Munn was a great addition to the cast, but she didn't bother me either. She's cute, she's mildly funny, the dynamic with Nick seemed to work. I wouldn't have minded at all if she hung around a few more episodes. Of all the various character's girlfriends/boyfriends featured so far, she has seemed the least offensive.

My experience with absinthe is that there is not enough wormwood in the stuff available in the U.S. to give you more than a slight buzz. Green faery indeed.

Still, a funny show. The guys continue to endear, Zooey, not usually.

Right there with you... I've become a Munn fan since the Newsroom (on HBO) actually. There were parts of this New Girl episode where some drama came through... not sure if it was intentional or not, but you could kind of feel like she really felt bad there before taking off the next morning.

I kind of figure the Nick's girlfriend role will be a transient thing, though... keeping him happy wouldn't work with his neurosis.

I liked Olivia Munn on Attack of the Show. It seems like a lot of nerds are mad that she bailed on the show and went to make movies.

Just watched this last night. funny episode. The whole Winston story line was hilarious. "You know Schmidt, Winston has been black for a while now" or whatever Nick said, funny.

That is certainly not the case with me. Although I loved TechTV and lamented its demise and conversion to mind-numbing content, I never cared to watch "Attack of the Show" even with her on it. I just never liked her as an actress, but I'm sure she's about as fine a human being as one could be.

I gave up on "Newsroom" too quickly to catch Munn's role, so I can't comment on her performance there.

I thought she was miscast as a stripper, but I do not get all the hate either.

I thought this week's episode was easily funnier than last week's episode. From the sad off to win a girl, Nick's fancy coat, and the return of the American game. This was a strong episode from beginning to end.

Best episode of the season so far. I love when they do "True American". Zooey in that push-up bra for about half the episode gets a big thumbs up from me. Maybe the best kiss in sit-com history at the end.

+1
Lots of really funny stuff in this episode.
Nick went out the window rather than kiss Jess under duress

Indeed, very nice kiss...

So Cece is realizing she's missing out with Schmidt right? or she's going the "arranged wedding" all the way?

Really good episode from start to finish, great kiss especially after what he went through to avoid it but left the door open by saying not that way. I think cece realized she wants Schmidt back by saying I will always love you to help him out with that other girl, so won't be surprised personally when they get back together in future

.... And Schmitt passing out!!

Good to see Winston get some too for a change..

Ohh yeah, that was hilarious! So much to like in this episode with a ton of "eye-candy" for the guys

I really prefer Jess and Nick to stay friends though and not upset the great chemistry/dynamic they currently enjoy.

I kind of agree. We've had an awful lot of Friends clones...

Schmidt: I don't really know what that accent is.
CeCe: English.
Schmidt: I speak English. That isn't English.

Schmidt: Dammit! Been trying to get something going with myself for a full hour. It's like a taffy pole on a hot summer's day.

Jess: "Howard Dean scream!" Everybody in response: "YEEEEE-AAAHH!"

- "Hey, Schmidt, your butt just violated the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act!”- Jess.

Nick: This foot stool really reminds me of my ex.
Schmidt: Holly, look at these abs. Hard to believe that I used to be such a great big fat person. [Pulls her hand to his side] You know where the fat used to be? It’s been replaced with phantom fat. I still feel it jiggle.
Nick: Holly, he’s really happy! He’s got a 401k and a six pack!
Schmidt: I’m at least 10 percent sadder than Nick right now.

"You love that small shiny man?"

Clinton rules, pick your intern.

Schmidt: “I can’t believe you got us kicked out of the discotheque, Nick.” Nick: “I didn’t even do anything!” Winston: “Dammit, Nick, take the coat off. It freaks girls out.” Nick: “Maybe they’re freaked out because you’re not wearing a trench coat!”

"It's not you. It's the the way that you behave, and the things that you say, and the look on your face."

Brooklyn Decker making the rounds on some of my favorite shows....first the League and now, New Girl. That asian girl that was into Winston looked familiar too. Wasn't she Eduardo's crazy girlfriend in the Social Network?

EDIT: Looked her up and her name is Brenda Song. I was right in that she was in the Social Network. Super cute!

Also, both Eva Amurri and Allison Williams on The Mindy Project this week.

.....

The kiss... guess this look kind of says it all...

Another really funny episode last night.
Best line: "turban on or turban off?"...... "I'm going to hate myself for saying this but... turban ON!"

Although different types of comedy- at this point I thing New Girl is consistently better/funnier than Big Bang Theory.

I think watching the grass grow is funnier than the Big Bang Theory, but I digress...

I thought Nick moon walking away from every difficult conversation was funny. Winston had some really nice moments as well. I like the way the deflated the kiss aftermath.

At last Cece has a surname (Parhak, was it?).  Schmidt will never have a first name, though: if his parents visit, they'll call him "son" or "kiddo" or the like.
