Cece = schwing

Hilarious first reaction to the smell of the perfume.

for some reason i wanted to dislike this show, and every week it gets better and better.

it never oversteps or overdoes any part. the serious parts are just long enough to appreciate and make the characters feel like real personalities.

they dont over stay the cece / schmidt stuff, and i buy into her liking him, begrudgingly, but believably.

i saw this as time to kill until raising hope, and am starting to look forward to both shows now.

at Jess putting her hands on the bathroom floor and not washing them.

Nick was hilarious this episode, especially the scene where he couldn't open the door to get away.

No kidding. How on Earth do you have Zooey in a show and have her turn out to be the second most attractive female in the cast?

This show is great.

If you can't remember then you have larger problems to worry about.

I love the work dynamic they've set up with Schmidt. Him working with all women that treat him like shit is hilarious.

Not sure why but this show just makes me laugh ALOT.

Loved Schmidt finally taking a stand against his immediate boss, and she liking it.

Loved Nick getting stuck outside in that awkward situation with Jess and the JL character.

Loved Winston getting going to get a job as a nanny? (Remember the Richard Pryor movie Toy?). I expect Winston to have a fling with Schmidt's Big Boss as well.

The Christmas lights thing at the end was kind of overblown, but I loved it.

It was, but I'm willing to go with it as it's kinda the show formula. They always seem to come together at the end and do something crazy that shows they're family.

I think this show is soooo funny when they have a good episode, and they do get better and better.

I just hope they bring Justin Long back. He's a great addition to the cast, super-funny, and helps form that love triangle for Jess.

I've been debating giving this show up after a few of the weaker episodes last month, but after last weeks sex episode and this episode I'm going to keep watching. It's very hit or miss still though...

At least you don't have to worry about possibly getting her pregnant.

Didn't really like this episode as much. The sappy endings are getting to formulaic for me. I like the episodes that are almost nonstop quirky and absurd.

But Cece is always great.
