New Girl Season 1 Review

The show and the season that brought us the Douchebag Jar, True American and everything that is adorkable- let's talk about Season 1 of New Girl!

So this show came out when I was in college and I remember kind of half watching a lot of episodes- especially in the later seasons... and I had kind of stopped watching all together after I finished college because I had forgotten what night it was on and it was on a channel I didn't really watch that much anymore... so I just forgot about it until it was ending. I had tried re-watching it on Netflix before- but I had seen the first episode so many times it was kind of hard to stick with it and keep on watching. This time I actually did finish at least a whole season and I'm still watching season 2 so... I think I'll actually finish the series this time! It's been fun and I've been enjoying it.

I think my favorite episode of the season is Jess and Julia- which is where Jess tries to get along with Nick's Girlfriend Julia... but Jess is bright and sunny and happy and Julia is not... and she really patronizes Jess over doing things like getting her a blanket and giving her a cupcake. It was just a good episode and it was super relatable.

I also think the Fancy Man episodes are funny. I really like Nick's friend Dirk in those episodes... he's a funny and creepy guy and it's funny to hear Nick say "He's the smartest guy I know" because Dirk is kind of an idiot too. I also really liked when Nick found a robe or something and he said that it "Smelled like Shakespeare." Nick's relationship with Jess's boyfriends is always really funny because usually he can relate to them and with Fancyman he just really looked up to him... it was just a funny situation to see them together.

I CANNOT see how people don't see Nick and Jess as a couple... it just seems so obvious to me that they belong together. I mean I haven't seen the end of the show- so as far as I know they don't end up together... but I think I know what happens. Anyway- I think the relationship is paced well and it's kind of believable that their chemistry ends up in a relationship and an on again off again one too. Plus it feels balanced with CeeCee and Schmidt's relationship.

The characters on this show are very funny and kind of over the top... but also relatable and I'm kind of like them and I feel like I know people like them... there are just so many situations they get themselves into that are so funny. In this season one that comes to mind is the episode where Jess and the Loft watch Fancyman's daughter and all of Jess's roommates have something completely inappropriate going on. CeeCee thinks she's pregnant, Nick has a younger girl that he's been seeing over... it's just so many things that are relatable but there's just so much and it's so funny and relatable.

I know the writing team behind this show are now working on the show Single Parents which is kind of a similar show and it's also really funny... so I think if you watch one of these shows you might like the other one. My mom and I like Single Parents a lot- so I think I'll watch this show with her eventually cause she might think it's funny too. And I should probably catch up on Single Parents because I need to catch up on that.

Alright I hope you guys like this!

Bye!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
