I love Zooey so I'll be tuning in, and hope it turns out to be a decent show.

The Bacon thing, I bet it works with practically anyone right? He's just picked for whatever reason like the Chuck Norris jokes or something.

She's kind of cute but the promos really overplay it and the male characters seem really blech. I don't know if I can watch it.

Pilot was terrible, barely even cracked a smile throughout the whole episode. Damon Wayans Jr was the funniest part and he's not actually gonna be in the series. Yikes.

Though I guess I'm not in the target audience for the show, seems more aimed at chicks. I'm sure they'll eat this up especially if it gets paired up with Glee. It'll probably be the biggest new show of the season even though it's fucking awful.

Hate, hate, hate, hate. Or replace with troll if you prefer that word. I'm being serious though.
The entire premise of the show seems to be "Hey look! It's Zooey Deschanel!!!!".
That earns it a pass.

But the incessant, annoying advertising?
That earns it active hate.

Damon Wayans Jr is so damn funny. Why did he shoot a pilot for this when he is on that other show?

Because they didn't know that Happy Endings was going to get picked up for a second season, it was looking really grim there for a bit. Very glad Happy Endings got picked up though.

The reason I'm not watching. And the fact that I find her voice incredibly annoying.

I hate women like that in real life. Describe yourself. "Oh, I'm random."

Also, are we supposed to think that guys wouldn't approach her in a bar, if nothing else, in hopes of fucking her?

The pilot teetered between obnoxiously grating and dirty pleasure ULTRA-FLUFF. The pilot just moved way too fast and nothing made a (positive) impression.

Damon Wayans Jr is a funny guy. I mean, I've only seen him in Happy Endings and New Girl and he's great in both. It's a toss up between him and Adam Pally on Happy Endings as the funniest there.

Watched the pilot. Coach character didn't work (wonder how his replacement will be), Schmidt didn't work. Lead dude could be alright. Zooey's schtick here seemed even more broad than it's ever been, which is a turn-off. Her character just simply couldn't exist.

Keep in mind this is FOX. The show - quality aside for a second - will last either six episodes or eight seasons.

I don't understand how shows like this and "up all night" or whatever Will Arnett's new show is called, expect to last more than two seasons. How long can she be the new girl for? How long will they be taking care of the baby?

GAF needs a douchebag jar. EviLore could make billions.

I thought it was alright. Most of the laughs came from the three guys.

Of course, I also liked Outsourced and that other show that the one dude's ex played on with the three couples, so suck it!
