I appreciate it may well just be personal prejudice, but surprising people on the street seems like such low-hanging fruit, comedy wise. I just think he's much better than that.

There's a pretty decent UK sitcom of a few years ago with the same name, which I hoped this was a remake of. But that's dude-centric.
I can't figure out through the layers of snark in this awful "article" what your take on it is. So, the world is bad now, but two committed and progressive people who obviously want to make a show about now, using sci-fi as progressive people have done for a century or more, is just worth mockery?
If he's ever been less than 100% excited by the show he just saw, I will shut up and never mention him again. It's such an absolutely pointless endeavour.
I know they're separate, but if they were desperate for extra content, there was a better route they could have gone down. Well, virtually any route would be a better route than "let's give Chris Hardwick another show", but you get the drift.
So you didn't like the jokes he did that worked and were funny? You preferred the crappy ones that you could tell he clearly expected to land but didn't? I don't understand that.
You know she's black, right? I'm honestly baffled by your reaction otherwise. I thought she was great and the bit killed.
It felt like a reality TV show contestant (didn't she make a reference to not being there to make friends?) but no-one seemed to be all that bothered why she was there, in England, in Victorian times.
Better delivery, for one, and funnier material, for two.
If every event happened the way she described, then she's the unluckiest woman on earth. I think she's harmed her cause by lying about some of the encounters.
But he is in charge now, and it's his fault if things happen now. What the previous installments in the franchises did or didn't do is entirely irrelevant to a discussion on what he is doing.
All good points, but at several points in the episode we see newspaper headlines where "animal attack kills X" and so on. They didn't keep it under wraps, at all, and hunters have travelled halfway across the country for a lot less.
So to sum up: "no, I couldn't find anything".
Completely agree. He's apparently a decent standup, is head writer on the show and he should at least show some spark out of the gate. If all he's going to be is "good looking guy reads out hacky late night monologue jokes" then what's the point?
It would have been a much ballsier move for the show to have her as an unconventional-looking type who's way into guys. Have her be a lesbian almost feels like a safe choice. Heck, having everyone think she's a lesbian on the show would have been funnier than the boring betwen-all-stools that this show is.
Maybe the most embarrassing "journalism" ever produced by this site.
I have to disagree - Caroline's instability has been explicitly referenced in previous episodes, and while Nick isn't the best communicator, there's no real indication that that was the reason (apart from the very last time they broke up).
The triangle was the worst idea this show's had, by a million miles. If I was CeCe I would never speak to Schmidt again and would feel fairly confident in asking my best friend to have nothing to do with him either. That shit was unforgivable!
Samberg did tons more than the Digital Shorts. He was in so many sketches.
