I don't get the "he's underused" comments at all. He interjects crazy, hilarious lines into EVERYTHING. I don't think we would get the same effect from him if it was always straight up story lines from him.

I was WAITING for it. I saw it coming and then NOTHING. I was actually a little disappointed!

His delivery of the line "I still send Shelby's dad a Father's Day card, and he still sends me $5 on my birthday" was absolutely hilarious. His little reflective, giddy smile? I was dying.

"MILLER'D"

Now THAT back and forth is DEFINITELY a cliche I wished the show would be permanently finished with.

I think what I find the most fascinating about the comments after New Girl reviews is the constant overuse/misuse of the term "cliche". In the case of this particular show, I really feel like people are commenting on ONLY the promos and not the actual half hour comedy itself. Is having an ex cliche? Is running into…

This show has actually made it pretty clear to me that there is a distinct difference between a romcom trope, and just general steps to a relationship. I actually have a hard time calling ANYTHING they've done with Nick and Jess "cliche", except maybe the fact that they're the two leads getting together. Certainly,…

He was asking Schmidt if he had the "electronics" (flash drive) the entire episode and Jess commented to Cece that she goes to the same theater every year because of her high expectations of the day. Knowing how easy you can film a short segment on your phone and send it to someone, it was actually one of the more…

Totally agree. It's just not FUNNY after awhile. Save the drama for DRAMAS. Couples are just as funny as "single" characters, they writers just have to *gasp* work a little harder to get the dynamic to work. When it does, it's so very refreshing.

Writers are so lazy. They just drag out the will-they-won't-they, and then they rush the pacing so much that suddenly they're saying I love you, getting married, and having a baby within 3 episodes. You can write a couple at a normal pace and find tension in other ways. Nick and Jess had their first kiss a YEAR…

Because the way TV is today, your show could get cancelled at anytime. Strike while everyone is still interested and actually force the writers to WORK at keeping their show funny and relevant. It's the only way to keep a viewers attention with SO MANY options out there.

I really hope they DID set a new trend, because the old "break up get back together" dance becomes so unrealistic, that it's unwatchable.

They took on SO much story in the beginning of the season, I think they did better than 99% of the other comedies out there would have done in a similar situation. They've ironed out A LOT in 12-20 minute episodes needing to give attention to SIX main characters. They took on the coupling of two of the main…

This episode was just……..phenomenal. I'm blown away with how they can still just shock the hell out of us time and again. The coin? THE.COIN.

They may have had a case if they'd stuck with just the pilot, but they bring in all this extraneous nonsense, that you almost feel like they manipulated their own script to fit the progression of New Girl. Most of the things in the second half of the list you can apply to every rom-com movie and hit at least 75% of…

I agree. It's just too many people to put their entire careers on the line for a virtual unknown.

If you've ever read the original script for Chicks and Dicks, the connections are even fewer. Most of the similarities they're quoting are from end of season 1 into season 3, and the character trait connections are even stranger. The characters that we see on the show aren't even what they are in that original…

Which works fine until everyone you gave it to (aka big corporation/FOX), can deny they ever saw it. If you're passionate about the hard work you've done, then you spend $30 to have the time stamp put on it "just in case". It's actually really easy to do, and the only proof you have of writing something first. …

So we can't own/write about our own life experiences now if it happened to someone else first?

So are they claiming the pilot PLOT was stolen or was it the actual written script? It not clear in the lawsuit. Most of the comparisons they are making are from episodes through the end of season 2, seeing as how very little actually happens in a pilot. We didn't even really get to know any of their personalities…
