So this year I decided to watch some new shows. The first one I watched was The Playboy Club. I heard it didn't do so well in the ratings and had negative reviews, but I actually liked it. Of course, it's trying to capture the successful formula that Mad Men has (same with Pan Am) and there were a few copycat moments. For example, they make Eddie Cibrian (Nick Dalton) look and talk just like Don. He also is a womanizer, just like Don. I would have preferred that they didn't try to portray Nick as Mad Men type. Despite that, I still liked the show. The mob/murder plot line has potential. I am also really intrigued by the lesbian bunny plot line. But as I watched the show, I thought, Eddie Cibrian is really good looking - so why is he with LeAnn Rimes (yuck)? This question will probably haunt me throughout the rest of the season.
The New Girl
So I can't write a full blog about this show because I only watched the first ten painful minutes. This show is horrible. I really like Zooey Deschanel, but she really messed up with this show. Maybe I just don't like these 30 minute sitcoms (although I do love Modern Family). The whole trench coat scene was predictable and awkward. Her interview with her perspective roommates was equally awkward. Furthermore, the three dudes are corny and lame (except for the black guy - he seemed to be the most normal and thus my favorite character, if I actually had to pick one). Maybe if I'm bored and my DVR is cleared out I will watch the rest of the show and update this blog. But for now, I will NOT be watching this crap.
I still have to watch 2 broke girls (it's on my DVR), but I heard that isn't so good either.
What new shows do you like? What are you going to put on your DVR? Why does no one ever answer my questions?
