It's another crap part of the Nielsen ratings process I think - February/March is one of the yearly "sweeps" periods so most networks tend to hold back episodes (as there are not enough episodes to cover new episodes every week to the season finales in May) and then air new episodes every week during the sweeps periods:

Each year Nielsen processes approximately 2 million paper diaries from households across the country for the months of November, February, May, and July—also known as the "sweeps" rating periods. Seven-day diaries (or eight-day diaries in homes with DVRs) are mailed to homes to keep a tally of what is watched on each television set and by whom. Over the course of a sweeps period, diaries are mailed to a new panel of homes each week. At the end of the month, all of the viewing data from the individual weeks is aggregated.

Sweeps for this year are apparently:

2 February – 29 February 2012
26 April – 23 May 2012
28 June – 25 July 2012

Fun show alright, better than I first thought it'd be.
The intro is crap but at least it's short.

Yeah I agree. It's short and has a cathy tune. Perfect!

Episode 11 was great. Loved seeing the more external characters involved more.

FouxDaFaFa

Another great episode. I liked Julia and Jess' little skirmish. They are so different so it was inevitable they wouldn't jump into being bosom buddies.

Excellent things:
Cece wearing the ridiculous ribbon hat completely dead-pan.
The Towel Revelation.
Schmidt: "Guys? Can someone get my towel? It's in my room next to my Irish walking cape!"

nkay1985

Really enjoyed that episode and the towel revelation and ensuing discussion, as FouxDaFaFa so excellently put it, was top class.

I'd put this show up there with Community, has been very good so far.
Simple premise to every episode and some great jokes.

Nowhere near Community/Parks & Rec, or even Happy Endings for me personally. It's a good show, and I love seeing what Zooey wears (I likes mah fashion ), and Schmidt is awesome. But it just seems to lack something... I still watch it and enjoy it, but I don't really care about the characters, and I think that's where it's downfall is for me.

irish son

best line of the episode which was very subtle so people may have missed it Scmidt: "from now on ill keep my towel in my room where nothing ever gets wet" brilliant still not sure with this show yet, i like it but you get the feeling that it could be a lot better. Scmidt and Nick are the best so far, Winstons storys are never really that funny but i think he will get better, they are slowly building him after initially not knowing what to do with him after Coach left. I dont really like Jess that much, i see that Zoey is a producer and i feel she is having to much say in her character, overplaying the quirky, singing, just making noises instead of actually talking. but thats just my stupid opinion.

FouxDaFaFa

The last episode of this was fantastic. Too many things to mention, yet again. Favourite things:
When that guy pulled a gun on Jess and Nick and Jess yelled "Oh my God, it's The Wire!"
Cece slipping on the motion sickness bands while talking to Schmidt.
Everything about the landlord. "I can't wait until we're menaging!"
Schmidt's ill-fated dash to seduce his boss.

Also, Nick's pained: "Jess, any time a guy shows you how to do something from behind..."

FreudianSlippers

Agreed, strong episode this week but it seemed slightly out of order for some reason.

tomissex

"Find out where Winston gets his sparkle. And then steal it."
"Nick would make a great underpants captain"
"There goes the chinos!"

My favourite lines this week!

Yeah bit of a standalone episode but still excellent.

opr

I have to say this show has improved immensely. Another solid episode this week but I watched the last two back to back and last weeks was so good.

im kinda happy and disappointed cece slept with schmidt,

funny how she just waved bye to the first guy she chatted with at the bar :D:D

stormcloud

This show is getting better and better. All the scenes in the one night stands house were very funny.

Will defo rewatch tonight

The show is making massive improvements week on week.

"Any of the scripts from the first season of The Vampire Diaries."

Schmidt is funny that quote makes me want to watch The Vampire Dairies

hahaha! That was brilliant! Love this show

Yes, the show is definitely on an up spiral. It was good early on but I wasn't sure it'd have the legs in the long run but now they're fleshing out the rest of the cast besides Zoe it's really starting to come into it's own. Schmidt sleeping with Cece ratcheted things up big time. The show is going somewhere now. I'm delighted!

vader65

Good laugh, feel good tv show, great tv

FouxDaFaFa

I'll tell you something, they're choosing their guest stars extremely well. They blend in very well with the cast when they're there. Loved Ryan Kwanten.

SirDelboy18

This is without question my favourite show of all genres. The comedy is genius, the characters are amazing, in Schmidt they have one of the funniest characters in the previous decade. Dare I say, Schmidt is even funnier than Gob ( A.D ).

Not only Schmidt, the other characters all stand out. I can safely say that I have a vested interest in all of the cast.

Thought that they would slow burn any Schmidt-Cece hookup but very excited to see where they take it next

"Youths" - That line still makes me smile

Definetly the most quotable show on T.V, and cannot praise it enough.

SirDelboy18

Also looked through the thread and surprised that this hasn't been posted yet.

FreudianSlippers

oh man, when the Hills music started I actually spit on my screen.

Skinfull

Really enjoying this show but its becoming less and less abotu Zoe and more about Schmidt for me. He is the stand out character and generally commands laughter week to week. The rest of them are a little 2D.

Basq

Nick can be hilarious too... the scene with the cockfight proved that!

don ramo

i think all the main caracters work well together, and the one or two bit part caracters are great aswell, like cece and nicks girlfriend,

i think winston if anyone would be the weak link, coach was great, was a shame he couldnt stick around,

I'll give you that. The cockfight scene was brilliant!
