I always liked Zooey but this show was written by a someone in stall 3 while taking a dump after taco dinner.No originality, standard visual gags, prefab characters & writing that could bore a death row inmate.Why does Hollywood cancel all the great shows and produce fecal matter sitcoms?"8 Simple Rules..." was a great show with well formed characters.I still watch reruns of it. John Ritter was a great actor - very likeable.Adding James Garner after john died worked for a while but John's character pretty much carried the show.Kaley Cuoco is a cute but Amy Davidson - #$%$ that girl is smoking hot!I watched the show to see her. 5 foot tall redhead with a body that an reroute NY rush-hour traffic! Prettiest redhead I've ever seen!

  because dumb people only watch shows with hot "STARS" in them, and not the script or the great unknown actors...this show is only gonna make it because, as someone else said " I could watch her eat toast and get excited."

  Okay, i take back that they're dumb, but they still watch it for that reason

  VaLeRiA: I never knew who Martain Spanjers was until i watched "8 Simple rules..." - he's actually a very good actor. Very likeable.I don't watch TV shows based on known actors. I watch it if it has an interesting plot.SUCK: The new adventures of old christine (JLD aka Elaine from Seinfeld)GOOD: Supernatural. Jensen and Jarod are great actors and very nice (non hollywood) fun loving guys. AWESOME: Haven: I know Emily Rose (cute nose) only from that show.I could not tell you the other actors names but DUKE is quite good.WWE "Edge" is also someone I never heard of in my life but #$%$ he's a good actor. Kinda like THE ROCK.I lived in Holllywood for 2 years. Been on Loveline, Leeza Gibbons show, background actor for X Files etc...I treat Hollywood as a JOB not a career.I've heckeled Rosanne Bar during her "talk" show and Ive been escorted off the lot at Universal studios for ducking gates on my way to Big Brother. I ve met FONZIE (Henry Winkler - nice guy), Michael J Fox (pre shakes - but also a very genuine nice guy).I have no problem telling people what I think.Told Vin De Bona (American's funniest videos producer) that Bob Saget sucked and annoyed the crap out of me.I've also hung out with (and kissed - pictures to prove it) Nancy "Bart Simpson" Cartwright. Ive met Homer (Dan Castelenetta) and even physically run into Dan Ackroyd while my head was turned to oogle his GF on the way into a liquor store on sunset.Fame doesn't excite me. I'm all about the personality.So I don't follow the Hollywood crowd or care what they think.Side note: Buddy was a PA (personal asst) for Will Smith and he that Will could not have been a nicer guy. He loved working with him.I respect THAT part of Hollywood.

POOR THING! Yes, centaurs usually tend to open mouth and insert foot. I wonder what her reaction will be when she's 57 and someone has her watch this historical recording.

Zooey Daschanel is hot, hotter than Scarlett Johansen, hotter than Megan Fox, hotter than the gal who replaced Megan Fox in the Transformers series. You'd have to go anime wolf girls to find someone hotter than Zooey Daschanel.

Zooey Deschanel is a fox. I'd like to see her with those glasses on and nothing else. Yahoo, can you do that for me? Bring me a pic of Zooey butt-naked from head to toe, with tan lines here and there, and wearing those glasses. Thank you.

I watched the premiere. BORING! She just seems to babble on and the guys act stupid. Not funny at all.

Since Zooey Deschanel appears to only be able to play Zooey Deschanel, I don't see this show lasting more than five weeks.

Absolutely dreadful.
