As usual I’d like to take this
time to ask anyone that has yet to watch tonight’s episode of New Girl, titled ‘Jacooz’, that wishes
to do so spoiler free, to please divert your eyes now. This is not a spoiler
free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN
SPOILERS! Proceed at your own caution.
I’m going to keep this review
short and sweet because I don’t think there’s all that much I have to say about
this episode.
The first ten minutes of the
episode were a tad tedious. I didn’t really care about Jess’s storyline, for
the most part, or the whole Nick thing along those lines. Except for the scenes
with the principal, it wasn’t all that great.
Schmidt’s dilemma in this episode
about the office party was okay at some points, but not great. I did like his
interactions with Eva Amurri’s character Beth, and he did have some interesting
one-liners, and Schmidt characteristics that were funny, but not the funniest
thing about this show.
The highlight of the episode, much
like last weeks, was definitely Winston. I know some like to believe he has
become a bit of the butt of the joke, but his storylines are the funniest. I
loved all his interactions with the cat that couldn’t stop purring, and he is
most definitely the reason I’m still interested in watching this show. I hope that
he keeps on being the funniest character in this series.
To be honest, this series isn’t as
well developed as it could be. Speaking as someone that loves the series Friends, that show was capable of being
funny, but at the same time progressing the characters. I don’t find, for the
most part, that this series is able to do that. Aside from certain characters
dating each other, there hasn’t been all that much change from the first
episode, except that all these people’s lives have integrated together. It’s
almost like with the Simpsons, where
none of the characters age.
My rating: 2.5 out of 5.
Best Lines:
“Why are you talking like a James Taylor song?” – Jess to
Nick in the bathroom.
“I’ll kill her cat.” – Winston, thinking the best revenge
for a broken heart, is to kill the woman’s cat.
“Uhh, don’t get attached.” – Winston telling Jess not to get
too emotionally involved with the cat.
That’s all for now, I’m off to watch and then review Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Then it’s Trophy Wife, with a follow up of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
