The absurdity continues. I thought all the scenes with Winston and Schmidt was damn funny. The scenes with Nick and Jess felt a bit forced and I think that was the intent because they are trying to force themselves to be in love with each other because they don't really want to try with anyone else. From a writing standpoint, they are going to fail. It's better if they are apart because the dynamic is a bit weird with them as a "couple". I'm 'puzzling'. Haha.

I hope that they end the story-line involving Schmidt juggle both chicks, trying to keep them from finding out about one another. It could get old really fast. Winston trying to find a way to kill his "girlfriends" cat was somewhat humorous. I did like the punchline though when he breaks up with her and ends up keeping the cat. Curious to see if Dreama Walker and Angela Kinsey will have recurring roles. Eva Amurri Martino ftw! Have her on EVERY episode and I will be happy.

(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


Funniest episode EVER! Where to begin? Was it Winston's ability to get and hold a table for 5 at a posh restaurant? Was it Schmidt "turning the car around" at the slowest possible speed? Was it Cece punching Nick's junk....not once, but twice? Or was it when Nick and Jess were over-sharing their secrets about the moon landing, horses from space, etc....? I laughed out loud quite a few times during this episode. Must watch again! Even though it prodivded a lot of laughs for this one, I am glad that they ended Schmidt's arc of dating both Cece and Elizabeth once and for all.

The Captain
(http://i.imgur.com/SW1TShG.gif)


So. 'The Captain' refers to some sort of depraved sex act that Schmidt convinces Jess that it's the only thing that will get Nick off. His goal is to break them up and he figures that getting them to do something (use your imagination) will be just the trick to do that. Since we never hear exactly what it is...and of course this being TV, we never see it either, all we have left is our imagination. The only clues we get are a Pirate, racial slurs and a Spyglass. It's all meant to be a joke to force the viewer to come up with their own ideas. I couldn't. I was too busy laughing at Winston for being so oblivious to the fact that the hot blond with the cat wanted him and he still couldn't see it. Overall a very funny episode.

Marginally funny. A few chuckles throughout the episode, but I found Schmidt to be really annoying in this one, more so than in previous. He just wouldn't let up with trying to get people to confirm that he was a "good guy". Ack! Jon Lovitz has a cameo, which was okay. Marty Ingels also had a cameo and it really took me by surprised in how much he has aged over the years. Does not look good at all. Yikes!

Keaton loved this episode, but Clooney, Kilmer and Bale hated it. No word yet on what Affleck thought about this though. West didn't know about this as he doesn't have a TV anymore. Schmidt throwing that broom into the wall was a one in a million shot, unless it was a Special FX, but FOX is cheap and wouldn't pay for that. So, one in a million it is.

What an unusual bit of turn around. With the news that Damon Wayans Jr. was back for this episode, I thought it was a bit of stunt casting to have the original 3rd roommate make an appearance on the show he ends up bailing on for another show (Happy Endings). Little did I know prior to watching Coach, that this is actually a "long-term" addition to the show, now that the show he original left for is now cancelled. Did you follow all that? Yeah, neither did I. Anyway, I thought this episode was entertaining and Taye Diggs was funny as well. As for the rooming situation, it looks like Coach will be rooming with Schmidt since he moved out on his own in the previous episode.

Kind of an odd episode, even for this show. An entire plot centered around menus somehow leads to giving kids a chance by allowing them to have a field trip. Yeah, not the connection you would normally think of. Mildly amusing. I did however think that Winston was funny as hell. He is definitely the go-to guy this season for laughs, a position formerly held by Schmidt.

Funny stuff with Winston and what appears to be his new girlfriend. Their flirting was so awful that it even made Nick uncomfortable which is precisely why it was so damn funny. Winston sharing a drink of Mylanta is so odd for sure. But funny as hell. If this is where it's going, I'm all for her having a recurring role on the show for sure. Coach and Cece's date was kinda blah. I get that he was nervous, but him trying to act all cool got old really fast. Schmidt as always provides more awkward moments as he tries to come to terms that Coach and Cece are on a date. This season is definitely Winston's breakout year, even though he has been consistently funny. It seems like he has taken over this season in particular.

Thanksgiving III
(http://i.imgur.com/SfhcoSn.gif)


The show has been more about slapstick humor and they really ramped it up here with the gang heading out to the wilderness for Thanksgiving to "live off the land" as the Pilgrims and Native American's did. This did yield some funny moments, but it felt forced most of the time. Not one of the better 'Thanksgiving" episodes I've seen. Good, but not great.

Very funny episode that takes place entirely in Nick's bar....more or less. The only time we are not "in the bar" is whenever we are revisiting a character's flashback story. each one bringing the funny. But I think the best of the bunch was in fact little Jess meeting little Cece for the first time as "student" and "teacher".

Jess and Nick's idea of "flirting" is both disturbing and insanely funny. They should "flirt" in every episode they can if it guarantees more laughter. Props for getting Bob Gunton on the show as well. Not sure if this is a one time deal, but I would like to see him with more episodes in the future as Schmidt's Work nemesis.

Two really good moments in this one was when Nick tries in vain to "wing it" when trying to play something for Jess' Birthday. 6 minute breakfast, 1 minute sex, Grocery Shopping and a walk up a steep hill. Not typical Birthday stuff, especially when you do all this in record time with the rest of the day to kill be fore the Surprise Party. The other good thing was the Video message on the Movie Screen with everyone wishing her 'Happy Birthday'. That was nice. Great to see Jamie Lee Curtis and Rob Reiner pop up too.

The Superbowl episode. I will say that FOX actually delivered in a big way in the post-game series. Having Prince in this one was and is a big 'get' as he always comes across as being an elitist. So seeing him on a TV show, especially one like New Girl that doesn't have the biggest following is a surprise. I knew about his appearance a few weeks before it aired and my first instinct was that it would amount to nothing more than a small cameo. Well, not only did he have a big part, his role actually drives the plot with regards to him trying to convince Jess to say those magic words "I Love You" to Nick. Overall this was a fantastic episode and Prince was really good for basically just playing himself. The guys were very funny. Everyone was.

An okay episode with Jon Lovitz and Linda Cardellini. Jon has basically been reduced to playing the same type of character where he pops up and plays a grouch that tells one or two jokes and then disappears. It's expected. But it's Linda that I'm more hopeful for. I've loved her since Freaks and Geeks and seeing her playing Jess' sister is a win. Hearing that she will have a recurring role (multiple episodes) is a double-win.

Winston's job interview was funny. But him trying to workout to avoid reading a text about whether or not he pass the Police Exam was even funnier. I just wish they would do something with Abbey. They aren't really giving Linda much to do in the show. So far, it's kind of been a waste of her talents.

(http://i.imgur.com/SfhcoSn.gif)


Ugh! What a disappointing arc! So, this episode is called Sister III, but can someone explain how Linda has even less screen time in this one than she does in the first two episodes? Seriously, what the f*ck are the writers smoking? How does it get from the writing stage to the table read to rehearsals to filming and NO ONE on set says anything about how little she is in this episode? And it doesn't help that by the end of the episode it's mentioned by Schmidt that her character went home to stay with her parents. So, I'm guessing that concludes Linda's "guest spot". Not cool. Not cool at all.
