It's the Sexy Getting Ready Song. Now I have some bitches I need to go apologize to.
EDIT: Oh, and she is totally going to hook up with the bartender by the end of the season.

I just learned about Bloom and this show today of all times, and now I'm a gigantic fan. That was some amazing shit. I love musicals and this is really going to reel me in every week.

This show is awesome.
"Let's see how the guys get ready"
Rachel Bloom is adorable.
Random rapper out of nowhere in the sexy getting ready song.

Just finished the pilot and this slayed me. Also damn it did live up to the hype. And omg the ending hahahaha.
That was fucking phenomenal. The pacing was a little weird (which of course would happen when they had to take it from 30 minutes to 42), but there was so many jokes and it was so inventive and it worked so well.
If you had told me two years ago that The CW would have one of the best comedy blocks on television I would have laughed at you! AND YET HERE WE ARE!

Just finished watching. Loved it. Going by that ending promo, this looks like it's gonna have a great first season.
It looks unreal.

Thank you OP for this post. I'd never have heard about this show without you. It's amazing.

Not sure, but the show did get 5 additional scripts ordered, so probably 18 at this point.

Seriously, they've had some amazing instincts picking oddball scripts with female leads so perfect for their roles that I mourn all those years in the aughts lost on gritty, brooding anti-heroes.
This is the new TV, and I couldn't be happier. Now it's time for everyone else to step up their game.
It's finally reached its destiny and basically become the WB 2.0

Wow, excellent pilot. Bloom is an incredible lead, the songs were fun and very funny (as was the rest of the show), the cast seems good so far. Yeah, the pacing was a little off, but as ivy mentioned that's to be expected when the pilot was expanded a bit in its move to the CW. If the quality holds up, this into Jane into Fargo (albeit on another network) may make Monday my favorite night of TV.

Heard them talk about the production side of this a lot on Scriptnotes podcast. Looking forward to finally giving it a try.

That was great, I could've sworn I've seen the actor who plays Greg before, it was bugging me but according to IMDB I haven't but he was Hans in Frozen. I hope the ratings are good.
Count me out on taint/asshole waxing.

Ratings were expectedly...not good.
I think the CW is likely to keep it around though with the amount of acclaim.

was finishing up AHS:Hotel on the laptop, while my wife turns on this show...we pause AHS and planned to come back to it while on commercial...couldnt stand this show one bit. We put AHS back on before the first commercial....
once that main girl started singing my wife muted it and goes...i dont think this is my kind of show.

The fate of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is dependent on the fate of Jane the Virgin.
Jane pulled a 0.4 for its season 2 premiere. I wonder what Jane's ratings will look like by the spring.
The way I see it: Either both shows will be renewed, or both shows will be cancelled.

Lol they actually followed up the rapper? I definitely need to watch this now.
Jane definitely isn't getting cancelled yet. it's the closest thing the CW has ever had to a "prestige show" and won the network its first golden globe.
Hmmm, I guess you're right.
Generally speaking, I do hope more shows like Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex Girlfriend are successful.
They offer something different from a lot of the stuff currently on network television.

I thought the rapper apologizing to "the bitches" was funny, but it kinda broke my suspension of disbelief a bit. If he appeared in Rebecca's fantasy in the bathroom, how is he a real person in the end? Didn't make any sense 
(It's not a huge thing, but it bothers me the same)
I agree that the pacing was a little bit weird and you could clearly see they had to bloat the premiere. The conversation with a boss went on a little too long and the character himself was not that funny.
Some weird, noticeable censorship too. The "cunt" in the opening flashback was replaced rather gracefully, but just bleeping out the rap in Sexy Getting Ready Song was... awkward. If they could bring back the actor for the tag (just his voice, as he clearly wasn't available to shoot the additional scenes in person), they could have just easily re-record the "dicks" and "bullshits" in the verse. I think it would have worked better.
Apart from that, I loved the episode and I am certain I will stick with the show for as long as it lasts...

which will be to my great sadness just this season
I would totally watch a cop show if it occasionally broke out into song and dance. Not gonna lie.

Just watched it. Laughed my ass off. Can't wait for the next episode.
It's rare that a show like this would ever get my attention, but thanks to the OP I am hooked!

I think/pray it will. 'Crazy' has big potential to catch on (COMEDY SONGS) and a lot of the subjects it covers are ripe for "deep TV show discussions."
