Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Yeah. Not again!

 

I'm really enjoying the new season, just as much as the first, and I like that they're moving things along rather than being stuck in the same rut like most sitcoms.

I also think that the last ep was probably one of the best of the series. The song & dance for We Tapped That Ass All Over This House had me in hysterics! (which is rare for me) and the parting song Sh*tshow was just as good and very honest if you dig below the humor.

The reason for Fontana's departure is that right at the outset he only wanted a one season contract because he had other options to explore. At the end of the first season, the show didn't get picked up for season 2 for some time and in the interim, Fontana moved on with other projects.

So the showrunners knew he would be leaving and planned the season around it. The love triangle couldn't last and this was a perfect way for everyone to move on. I applaud them for the way it was handled.

I too am sad to see Fontana go, but there is no reason (if the show continues) why he couldn't come back in some capacity in the future.

 

Thread title is misleading. Never seen the show though.

 

How is it misleading? That is literally what the show is called.

 

Yeah, this is in the video forum. If it were in off-topic, I could see confusion.

 

My wife and I checked this out on Netflix last week, and liked it so much we binge-watched the whole first season. We're now catching up on season two via the CW channel on Roku.

This is such a well-written and clever show, and I love the musical bits. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is what Galavant could have been if it had been more clever.

Rachel Bloom deserves huge kudos for helming, writing and acting in this series. I love it.

 

Rachael Bloom is pretty.

 

...amazing talent.

 

Absolutely brilliant show. We sort of binge watched Season 1 on Hulu during the summer, and are slowly getting into Season 2 now (having a 2-year old doesn't give us much TV time). Had to buy it on Amazon to stream since the podunk network it's on is carried on a sub-SD subcarrier here that's barely VHS quality.

Worth the money, every episode is a minor miracle.

Any fan of Rachel Bloom needs to see this:

 

Some of us read the forum based on "New Posts" and don't notice the "source subforums" involved.

When I first saw this thread, I thought it was about some guy's dating experiences, not a TV show.

Probably be clearer if the thread placed the show title in quotes - or just said "'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' TV Show"...

 

OH. Yeah, not what I was expecting from the thread title either! (I guess I was thinking of the "off topic" forum )

 

Season 2:

I miss Greg.

 

Not to thread digress but the news story linked below immediately made me think of "crazy ex girlfriend."

Just discovered this show. It amuses me so I'll keep watching!

 

That is one funny musical bit! Lyrics aside, I could see Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly doing a number like this! I posted this vid in another thread but it's worth a repost.

 

Me too big time. I was hoping this was a temporary plot device but it seems like he's for real off the show.

Omg that's brilliant. Can't wait for the rest of the season.

Nice double ep, with a change that will certainly shake things up.

Yes, he's off the show to pursue other projects (he only ever wanted to do one season, which was known up-front by the producers).

However, that does not necessarily mean he can't come back at a future date. And there will be a future because the show has just been picked up for another season. Great news!

 

It's for real. Lots of interviews with the actor post plot turn.

 

I gotta be honest. I expected to read some gossip about the OP's crazy ex-girlfriend.

 

Same here, and I was all ready for a great read. Way to disappoint, OP!

 

Well, if you feel disappointed, you should give the show a try - it will put a smile on your face.

 

Love this show and the sometimes demented songs! Such a hugely talented cast. Pleasantly shocked and surprised and delighted that the CW has renewed the show for another season!

 

Me too. It hasn't been getting great ratings on CW, but it is a critically acclaimed award winner and is considered to be a 'premium' property by the network heads.

Also, the show airs on Netflix world wide the next day and a week after the season finale, the whole season goes up on Netflix (US). I read that there was a US based map of favorite Netflix shows broken down by state. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was the most popular Netflix show in California, New York, Washington State and Massachusetts. Seems like a heck of a lot of people are watching it - on Netflix! I'm sure that was also a factor in its renewal.
