    not really a shock in my book, i watch one and a half seasons of glee, and then just stopped, not a common thing for me to do, the show took a major dive in quality, it done in 5 episodes what took heroes two season to do,

    The new guy is gonna be a completely different character, all will be explained in the next episode.

    technically they should rename the show to "The Newish Girl and the Even Newer Guy".

    i was a big fan of My Wife and Kids. There's also a fairly unknown movie called Bulletproof starring Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler which is hugely underrated. The rest of the Wayans bros, I don't rate...

    To be fair he's not a Wayan's bro, he's the son of a Wayan's bro. Damon's son to be exact.

    I'm out lads, ep. 2 was just terrible!...no laughs, the new [black] guy....crap!, Wayans Jnr. is badly missed. I said right away i'm not a fan of Zooey, i find her annoying....her quirky oddball "i'm sooo kooky" act she does in everything she appears in annoys me.

    There was zero laughs in ep. 2, i can't be arsed giving it a chance...my gut is usually right, and my gut is telling me to bail [i'm close to this feeling on 2 Broke Girls and Ringer].

    I thought episode 2 was good - show still has potential. I think it's paired well with Raising Hope

    I don't know, I quite enjoyed the 2nd episode. Zooey is great and has excellent comedic timing. Winston is very quiet and not the same "type" of character as Wayans Jr., but perhaps he'll find his stride.

    I only see this show improving - this is almost a second pilot IMO.

    Really enjoyed the 2nd episode.. definitely the most promising of the "comedies" (along with "Up All Night" which had a much better second episode).

    'Girl made a lot of jam, Spence'

    This show is actually pretty good, both episodes had plenty of laugh-out-loud moments for me. Sure, it's not perfect, but given time it could evolve into something great.

    Schmidt's been the star of the show so far.. but it's a good supporting cast to be honest!

    Wahey, Zooey can do no wrong.

    I'd like to see how much of this show is scripted. Because I'd imagine writing for Zooey wouldn't be the easiest of tasks.

    I liked it a lot. Although who ever said it's like a second pilot is spot on. I really hope it starts to move away from the premise they've used for both episodes now.

    Just watched both episodes there. They were grand - not amazing, but what series ever is at the beginning? Kinda crap that Damon Wayans Jr couldn't stay on, I really liked his character (and he is the IMAGE of his dad, omg!).

    I've a feeling there's going to be a possible romance between Jess and Nick... It just seems like they were setting it up a bit in those episodes. I hope it won't be a focus point of the series though, because it could maybe ruin it.

    nice to see they didnt bring back the jar, shows there moving forward and not dwelling on pointless jokes that stop being funny very fast,

    bar the song at the start (sung by zooey) which is a bit cringeworthy, its looking like it can be a good show,

    when she brought her exs new girlfriend to the airport it wasnt really funny, but when she came home and told the guys it just seemed halarious, the way she just clicked how very wrong it was, i wonder if she collected her :confused::D

    I think Schmidt could easily be this year's Burt Chance (Raising Hope)/Phil Dunphy (Modern Family)/Pierce Hawthorne (Community)/Sheldon Cooper (TBBT)/Barney Stinson (HIMYM).
    Can't think of any characters in any of the other new sitcoms that could come close to landing a place in the TV Comedy Wall of Awesome.

    I watched the first two episodes of New Girl the other night. It's got Zoe Deschanelle in it. I really have to say I enjoyed it. The one thing I found a bit weird was that in episode 2 when they introduced the new cast member, I found myself wondering did they dump another one?

    Either way though, it's very quirky and if you like zoe Deschanelle in general, you'll love this! I'm very pleased so far!

    Just watched episode 3, really enjoyed it (so it'll probably get cancelled in the next couple of weeks). Big improvement & the cast are really coming together.

    Oh man, the 3rd episode was effing hilarious. Zooey was insane and brilliant. Love seeing the waitress as Caroline too!

    Zooey looked hot too, so there's a bonus!

    Only watched the first episode, thought it was alright. Nothing fantastic but not having a laugh-track really does massively increase my enjoyment of a comedy.

    She's the image of an ex of mine, always feel a little "uncomfortable" when she's on screen :)

    episode 3 was fantastic! I'm hoping this is the way of it from now on and that the show has gotten into it's stride!

    Nah, the waitress from the far superior 'Always Sunny' guest starred.

    Couldn't think of her name, but it's Mary Elizabeth Ellis.
