I’m not from Chicago, but I’m from close enough in the Midwest that I’m a Chicago sports fan. I even look a bit like him, at least in broad strokes, and I share a lot of the neurotic qualities that come off as quirky for a character on a show but are actually pretty debilitating in real life. It’s too much to be coincidental. Hell, at one point in the show he calls himself “Nicky Blue Eyes” in spite of the fact that the actor doesn’t have blue eyes. But you know who does? Goddamn straight. They gave him a nickname that fits me better than it does the character. It’s uncanny.

[@roseyp7047]

I have laughed out loud more times watching New Girl then I have any other show on tv. Not only that, but no matter how many times I’ve seen an episode, I’ll always catch something one of the characters says or does that I missed the last 12 times I watched it. It’s because they allow them to improvise and talk over each other and they even have a certain way they set up the cameras to get those shots. It makes it feel so real and I think why so many people relate to it and want so badly to be friends with them.

the seventh season is filled with content that are basically inside jokes for all who have seen all 6 previous seasons. i actually like it because even though these storylines seem random, a lot of them are actually meaningful to the character development these people have gone through. but i must admit that they did jess’ character dirty and jess and nick deserved a way better wedding

[@Wxyzbbgyk]

OMG I AGREE! I felt like that episode was so cheap when you look at weddings in the past on the show (cece and shivrang for example) and it doesn’t really fit the demographic for the 7th season. People who watched and enjoyed the 7th season most likely watched the show for the storyline as well as the jokes and were more investing in the Jess nick ordeal. So it just feels off to have them have such a small, weird, and kind of unsentimental wedding. Like the eyepatch and the hospital and the dress were all just weird

It honestly took a few episodes to establish Winston as the dorky lovable dude he became. Truly my fave character of the series.

I was thinking the exact same thing and this is why New Girl has such a different feel than all the other comedies. I just watched a video about the best 10 unscripted moments from the show and it talks about their freedom to improv, talk over each other, they way they had to set up the cameras for that. I find that stuff so interesting.

Tran (the silent guy that Nick talks to) is actually such a genius addition to the show. 2x07 Menzies is the one where Tran first debuts and it’s genuinely one of the funniest moments in the series.

I actually read a analysis that said that the writers wrote Winston too serious in the beginning episodes and so they cranked up his craziness slowly by intervals over the next two seasons until he became what he is now. That’s why I think he’s the most underrated character.

[@MiKa_EDS]

Yes and Coach leaving was not planned so that definitely added to wanting to keep him serious since Coach was goofy.

[@LB-tu2fk]

New Girl is like my favorite comedy show. I think it’s top tier comedy. I do think season 6 is like the final epic of the show while season 7 is like the epilogue so it’s not as strong. But I actually like a lot of the final two episodes. I see why w/out context to a lot of stuff, that you’d find it unfunny but from a fan’s perspective, it was a great final episode. It stayed true to the characters. Something Dylan doesn’t know about is the time jump. All the characters have moved on since season 6 so not fully caring about the apartment makes sense. They had to do that long ago. And the joke of Winston’s final prank is great because the whole series run, he can’t figure out when a prank is too far or too lame. So I definitely recommend the show 100%. I love it!

I personally feel like New Girl is underrated, this used to be my ultimate comfort show! It's hilarious but doesn't really rely on punch lines and has more of a slice of life attitude to the episodes (explaining the way certain scenes end on a low). Edit: This show has some of the best character development I've ever seen, especially with Schmidt and Winston (Winston becomes one of the funniest characters since they throw out the masculine basketball player character trope and he leans into his weird, quirky self). Jess does become a bit annoying and there are several cameos from hilarious actors. Also season 7 is definitely a throw away season lol.

[@VoiceGirlx33]

The 7th season is so full of inside jokes that you just wouldnt understand if you didn't watch it all throughout. The 6th season is the one that has many deep closures.

The joke you didn't get "can I get a tampon" was related to Schmith being the only guy in that company, the rest of the employees are women. I liked the show, the first few seasons are more related to jokes, and it slowly starts turning into more meaningful content, they give the characters more depth, and problems, and naturally the characters start "maturing" too. I liked the last episode, the game they played was a game they played each season it was "their thing." Also, Winston's 'thing' with pranks are that he either goes too low scale that the pranks are lame, or goes too hard (hence, him pranking them of getting evicted lol)

the last season is arguably the worst one and many fans of the show felt like i didn't really feel like the rest, it was different. i watched an interview with the cast a while ago and if i remember correctly they explained there that their network cancelled the show after the sixth season and dropped them. the actors fought for another season feeling as though the show wasn't finished yet and they wanted to give the fans a better and more satisfying ending. so they actually wrote the last season themselves which might explain why it feels so different from the rest - it's because the actors wrote it. overall i really really love this show and i recommend that you watch it beginning to end because it's really good. one of my favourites for sure!
