Old ppl (like you and FT) must not like funny shows. Nick reminds me a lot of my college self so I can relate to him.

Young people who think New Girl is a funny show, apparently have not watched any TV prior to New Girl. :)

Counterpoint:
I watched 20 minutes of New Girl two different times, and literally can not believe it is on TV. The two main male characters are the two worst actors I have seen on TV. Steve Carell as Michael Scott was terrible. The character was written well, but Carrell is horribly unfunny. I realize the majority disagrees on Carell, but wow, he's just bad.

What? There's a reason there's a billion Michael Scott memes around and that's because his character was hysterical. His character was hysterical because Carell played him so well.

The Season 1 Michael was a little rough, but I think it's because it was Carrell trying to play Gervais playing David Brent. Towards the end of season 1 and then starting with Season 2 the character really took off.

I think all of them were a bit rough the first season but really grew into their roles, especially Jim and Dwight.

Michael's absolute hatred for Toby and Carell's way of portraying that just kills me every time. The best line ever is when he tells Toby if he had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Toby, Bin Laden, and Hitler he'd shoot Toby twice.

Scrubs, in general, is forgotten about way to much. Show was great.

I could never bring myself to watch that show because after the movie Garden State, I couldn't bear that Braff guy in anything.

Same.
Exact.
Experience.

Garden State, to this day is the worst movie I have ever seen. Period.

I love the line from the second season:

FWIW, I think Office is one of the best shows ever but Parks and Rec might be an easier "watch"(Although it's first season is pretty rough too). I don't think it ever achieved the long peak that Office did IMO, but it also never had the bottoming out that The Office had when Andy became manager.

He is nothing like that in the show. The show is extremely well written and the characters are great. I get yall thought process cause Garden State is awful, but Scrubs is a top show of the past 20 years or so IMO.
