Mermaid in a Manhole
Dear Tumblr Followers

I see that a lot of you post gifs from the show New Girl. Zooey Deschanel bothers me sometimes because she’s such an “indie darling” and “manic pixie dream girl” in a lot of her roles but I’m interested in watching it because it looks funny and I do like her about half of the time. Is it worth watching?

  2. thecosmonaut answered: No. It’s horribly cliche and every single joke falls flat. It’s horrible.
  3. catburger said: Oh god that show is just awful. Like beyond awful. She wears cute dresses though :I
  4. lanabstar answered: You’ll like the most recent episode for sure based on your dislike of her. The show makes me laugh, despite its lameness sometimes
  5. maxasaurus answered: I watched the first five or six episodes. It was enjoyable, a bit hokey, but still okay. It gets better, b/c it starts kind of dull.
  6. drcakewhore answered: No. I tried to see if she would at least make fun of herself a little. But it’s all too serious.
  7. nerdygirllove answered: If you don’t like her as a manic pixie dream girl than you won’t like it but it is a funny and cute show.
  8. emimachine answered: Nope! It’s pretty awful. The characters are totally one-dimensional and the plot is boring. Yet I can’t look away because I like bad things.
  9. oliviaelizabethrose answered: mmm its entertaining, but shes that typical character. There are a few redeeming qualities, found in the co-stars. Keep low expectations
  10. blogvader answered: It’s hit or miss. Some of the episodes I’ve enjoyed, and some I hated.
  11. starsarealigned answered: I think it is. I didn’t watch it right away because of the same reasons, but it really is quite funny, and the boys are hilarious in it.
  12. thesearchforsherlock answered: I feel the same way. I don’t like the way it imitates that trope, but it does make me laugh. I think you might like it. (:
  13. teatimewithdinosaurs answered: Some eps are more amusing than others. The best part is watching the clothes she wears. No jokes have been as funny as LOTR one from 1st ep.
  14. mean-cream answered: I don’t generally like Zooey Deschanel because I find her boring… But I love New Girl. The guys in the show are fantastic.
  15. paristomoscou answered: The show has it’s funny moments, imo. Sometimes it just feels awkward though.
  16. jovenistheworst answered: Only sometimes. The guys’ subplots are usually genuinely more interesting, but are never given the attention they deserve.
  17. mentethemage answered: It’s pretty funny though not the best show on earth
  18. incidentally-awesome answered: yes. She plays a childlike teacher. The last episode, she describes her character perfectly.
