Zooey D. bugs me but there are not a lot of nerdy girls on TV so I may give that show a watch.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think of her as particularly useful in clearing the way for nerdy girls. She's the poster child for quirky...moppet as outlined beforehand.

I haven't watched a 1/2 hour tv comedy in years, but I might have to give that show a chance for the same reason -t mentioned.
I just had an okay grilled chicken breast from the cafeteria--it would have been better if they hadn't dried it out. The saving grace was the corn salsa they put on top.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What ita said. Those shows are both hilarious and amazing, and I hadn't watched a 1/2 hr comedy in years, either.

Thrive to spite them
My old job was pretty casual on the end of business casual. And Casual Fridays sometimes looked more like Casual Saturday. BUT very rarely did anyone come in from outside the office. There were a few people who pushed the boundaries of the regular dress code but it was relaxed. Generally people dressed up more on Mondays and then things got more casual as the week went on.
When I worked for the airport, we were the only City division that did not have Casual Fridays with jeans. We were only allowed khakis on Fridays, except women could wear denim skirts, but only skirts. Other division I think were allowed to wear khakis on other days.

Sounds like a fun event, Hec! Very cool.
It just popped up on my Google Alert so I didn't know anything about it. I wonder what section he'll read...

Punishingly Intricate
I've been taping a bunch of Raising Hopes and watched the pilot and wasn't impressed. But I did the same thing with Community and now love love love it. So I should give it another shot!
Parks & Rec is another one I love (that wasn't so great at the start).
Oh my god there is a car outside with a horn that won't stop beeping! ... I guess that will be something I won't have to deal with as much when I move into the cube. Or the shredder truck that always parks right outside my window.

I wasn't thinking about The New Girl clearing the way for nerdy girls, just that Jess's description makes me think I might enjoy it more than I had thought. I've been FFing past all the commercials on kneejerk Zooey avoidance.
