    I think episodes is that Matt LeBlanc show.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

      My GF and I are wavering on this...haven't seen this week's ep yet, but Jess has been almost too annoying lately. For us it's gone from cute/neurotic/quirky to just annoying. We'll probably watch this week's episode, but unless it gets better we'll probably stop recording.

      IMO, the best new comedy this year is 2 Broke Girls. That's just hilarious every week...

        I understand what you mean, but I think she was pretty normal/realistic in this episode.

          We're giving it a bit longer...just something we've noticed, little things over time adding up.

          I think they just have to dial it in a bit better.

            Dialing it back is a bad idea.

            That's who the character is. She's weird, she's socially ********, and she's awkward.

            Normalizing her, even a little, would normalize the show and take away what makes it unique.

              I think sometimes it takes away from the plausibility of the situations. Sometimes it really feels like she's Mork to me, but I won't stop watching if they don't tone her down. If they make it worse that might be problem, but she's been consistent this season.

              I really didn't like Nick spilling the beans. It just seemed out of character for him to make that mistake.

                I had this show added to my DVR list. After the first 2 shows I began to lose interest but still hung around, after a few more shows I wish I hadn't. Once you get past Zooey Deschanel's hotness it's clear everyone else on the show has little to no talent and are not funny at all.

                It really pisses me off that crap like this remains on TV when a show like Detroit 187 gets canned.

                    I like 2 Broke Girls as well but I'd put New Girl easily ahead of it. The jokes and humor in this show seem to flow far more naturally to me and make me laugh harder.

                    I can understand the "annoyed by Jess" angle though. For me, I find the adorkability endearing but I can see how others wouldn't. I guess that's the main caveat to enjoying the show.

                    It's my favorite new comedy of the last two years and one of the shows I look forward to most every week.

                          Hulu's stubborn about New Girl.

                          **** Hulu.

                              We watched last week's ep and it was better. I think we'll keep going since it looks to be headed in a good direction.

                              I like Jess and her quirks, I guess some eps it just gets annoying when mixed with the other characters....i dunno, it seems better though.

                                This episode didnt make me laugh out loud for the first time, but I didn't have to to enjoy it.

                                Captain Obvious says that's it's obvious which four people will end up together on this show.
