Note to the reader: We are those girls. And by “those girls,” we mean Lizzy Caplan’s character, the kind of the girls who don’t really like other girls. Especially not girls like Jess. Neither of us have “rocked a lot of polka dots” since our mothers stopped dressing us. This means, essentially, that we aren’t… [Read more…]

So this semester I’ll be living without a TV. Well, not without a TV. Just without any American channels. So since I won’t be blogging as much (basically at all) about TV or movies, I might as well blog about what I am doing, right? And it just so happens that I’m in Rome for… [Read more…]

Apparently, the absence of the douchebag jar was noticed by more people than just us, and last night’s episode of New Girl resurrected it in a big way. We start off the episode knowing that Schmidt has done something so terrible that it merits fifty dollars in the jar. The show does a classic flashback… [Read more…]

It’s Christmastime in the apartment of New Girl, and that means Jess got all the boys roller skates. Winston is completely joyous in his (hinting at his childlike spirit that will later come in handy), but Schmidt is unsurprisingly the real pro. “I had figure skating lessons until I was 13 and my mom sobered… [Read more…]

This week on New Girl, Justin Long came back and brought with him a whole slew of sex insecurities for Jess. Unfortunately, Long wasn’t able to bring much comedic relief with him, leaving Zooey and the boys to do the heavy lifting. Thankfully, the boys have enough sexual insecurities of their own to make the… [Read more…]

To the untrained, non-obsessive TV-watching eye, this week’s episode of New Girl might seem like a success. There were some funny, quotable lines (“It’s for moisture, Nick! Not for cleaning!”), and a little heartfelt conversation that gave the show some of the friendship depth it claims to be all about. OK. We accept that. That… [Read more…]

After finally showing some actual sexual tension between Nick and Jess, this week New Girl brought a New Guy into the picture with Justin Long’s character Paul. As Nick so correctly states, “Oh my God, there’s two of them.” After which we said, “Oh my god, what have they done?” In theory, Justin Long’s character… [Read more…]

I think I have finally finished processing last night’s episode. Let’s get the main event out of the way first: our favorite characters all lost their V-cards last night! Thank god for that. Yes, we’re all happy for Kurt and Blaine. Yes, Darren looked super hot. Yes, that appears to be a shirt he actually… [Read more…]

Sexual tension—brought to you by Jess’s best friend CeCe! Hooray! Who would have thought that throwing a model into the mix would give New Girl a hard shove in the right direction? Certainly not us, but it would seem that CeCe’s presence in this week’s episode brought some much needed gender balance to the show’s… [Read more…]
