/\ Definately not the target audience for this show. But each to their own....
Brits seem to lean more towards NYC based US sitcoms & TV, rather then LA. I guess it's just (literally and figuratively) "a bit closer to home".

I love New Girl, I haven't enjoyed a show as much in a long time, the characters are ace, especially Schmidt... "Chutney" 
I've watched a few episodes but can't truly get on board with it. I think it's mainly because in Jess they've created a character so likeably quirky that it makes the fact that she's perpetually single somewhat unbelievable.

Schmidt is great... nearly choked at the "Parkour!" bit
It's nice easy watching, really looking forward to the second series.

Love that. All part of the shows sense of humour.
She's barely single at all... I forget some of their names off the top of my head, but in the begininng of season 1 she had just split up with Spencer (after being with him for 6 years), and during the first half of season 1 she was dating the nerdy guy, and in the second half she is dating the rich older guy.

I was disappointed by this 
Thought It was going to be great... but I find it very hard to watch. Not in an awkward must watch kinda way... I just don't think it works well

In the US apparently, which isn't to be discussed on the forums my friend.
The plot, we can talk about the show airing though, and a heads up doesn't go-amiss. I think it's actually airing right now!
I started watching it purely for Zooey, this was about halfway through the season so I ended up watching half the first season in a couple of days which filled my dreams with scenarios of living with Zooey which made me a much more likeable person through the day. Weird how dreams affect the subconscious, if I do the same with Breaking Bad I get called angry a lot lol.

I like it, but as Krooton said, they should've kept Coach, he was awesome
This show simply didn't need another camp/gay stereotype, it's boring and used in so many other current sitcoms. The focus groups obviously came to the same conclusion and so they replaced him with a straight black guy. I nearly gave up on the show because of him, fortunately he was canned by the second episode.

i like this
Indeed, Damon Wayans Jnr went on to do Happy Endings, which i find to be a lot better. As already said, the cast of New Girl just seem really awkward and don't really to gel.
Plus Happy Endings has Elisha Cuthbert in it!
