The second episode of New Girl was different from the first. They swapped out the black actor. Don't know if the guy in the pilot wasn't available for the series or if they "decided to go in a different direction" or what. Felt like the geek references were minimal to non-existent (I'd have to rewatch and I didn't tivo it). There were other things, but overall I think it could settle into a good show. Or it could go frightfully in the wrong direction.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

It was Damon Wayans Jr in the pilot, and I think he was already committed to Happy Endings.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ron Swanson is my great-grandfather! Well, sort of, with the name thing.

I'm laughing a lot more at Parks and Rec. This week's episode felt a little more like the show, and it had its moments, but so far it's not living up to the last two seasons.
