I think another factor for me is that my wife makes up songs like Jess all the time. So that part of the show struck close to home and we found it pretty hilarious.

I'm probably too much in love with Zooey to really be objective, but I sort of liked it. Can't really get behind the She's a dork who doesn't know she's hot thing, but am willing to ride it out a few more episodes if it's available on demand. Won't fill my DVR hard drive with a season pass of this.

I actually didn't mind this show, i will watch it again
It wasn't great but had it's moment and most of the cast is likeable

I almost smiled at the existence of the douche bag jar. I have no idea where anyone would have LOLed. Won't keep watching.

It was ok. There were a few laughs. Those guys aren't as likable as the guys on Happy Endings (not sure why I'm comparing the two groups. Yes I do...it's Wayan's Jr.)
I Zoey enough to keep watching.

I don't think it's just that though. There is something very similar about the dialogue and the back and forth between the two shows. I guess I'll see if I feel the same way once Wayans is gone.

I read one critics review saying that Zooey's character was so weird and whacky that she seemed mentally challenged. They were right.
With all her random little songs and quirky one liners, she was just annoying.
In spite of the guy with his shirt off most of the time, the guys were very unfunny.

Rich hasn't posted ratings yet, but this got a 4.8 in the demos. For a scripted comedy on FOX, that's pretty solid.

I was going to say the same thing as that critic about her seeming almost mentally challenged. I love Zoey, but her character came off as just a bit too much. It wasn't awful, though, and I can't imagine her character not improving over time. Plus, Tuesday night is one of the lightest TV nights of the week for me, so I'll give it a few more episodes.

i chose this over Ringer, and am not convinced i made the right choice. i will be giving it a chance because i could watch Zooey read the phone book, but something was off/did not click. hopefully they find the right rhythm soon.

Yup. Because of course in real life, when the black guy who shares an apartment with two white guys and a hot girl (which, as we all know, happens all the time) suddenly moves away, he is nearly immediately replaced by another black guy. Probably requested such in the apartment listing.

I hope they make up a lot of jokes for the douchebag jar, that was my favorite part of the show.

Liked it a lot. More than a few laughs and I'm willing to see where it goes. As pilots go, it was pretty solid.

Well, since the next episode hasn't aired yet, I really had nothing to go on.
And I kinda liked the coach character. I would have been happier with a recast rather than bringing in a replacement.
