Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - anyone watch? — Page 5

Hey Gang, me again. Next week the show is back, picking up on dribbles and gossip on line and it sounds like CEG is going to be just as good (or maybe better) than S1. One of the very interesting tidbits was a photo of a very nice yellow gown that Rebecca (Rachel) wears during a take off/parody of Beyonce's Lemonade. I can't wait to hear those lyrics. Friday 10/21 at 9:00pm CW

Well, it's about time CW. "CEG" premiere is Friday night 10//21 at 9:00pm ( DVR "Hamilton" and sing along later!); they've finally started to turn up the publicity for Season 2. It's starts off with an absolute bang. This is a 3+ minute music video parody of "Lemonade". I think it's called "Love Kernals". The song is hilarious and the costumes and sets look great. There's even a line in the song about this.

Can't wait! Yay Musicals! (and SNL stole the hamster and water bottle bit from "Crazy EG"

Also, Vulture has leaked word of the new opening credits theme song and that it's been done ala tribute to Busby Berkeley and now "She's Just A Girl In Love"

Well, we're finally getting some love (and publicity) from Playbill. Today's edition touts, "How Rachel Bloom MadeA Musical Comedy The Best TV Show of 2016". So that's a very nice and accurate thing to say.



The article gives background, highlights actors and guests, like Tovah Feldshuh, and links some of the music videos.

So 2 more days! Yay Musicals! 9:00pm Friday night.

Hi Gang! I forgot to post this from the NYT. Great little snippet and "heads up" for what to watch this weekend. (and what's at the top of the list? yep, Crazy ExGirlfriend).

Of course they also included Hamilton and Walking Dead. I haven't watched whole S2 premiere yet, getting ready to DVR now.

Enjoy; any thoughts?

I was just able to watch CEG from 10/21 and it does not disappoint. Every crazy is getting slightly "crazier", a lot to cover in S2 premiere so side stories were only touched on, Paula is getting motivated, Darryl and White Josh are co-noodling coupling...and poor Greg (Santino Fontana) is in AA meetings! Let the "fun"begin. The songs and videos are very good and funny. Reviews are of course, very enthusiastic ...this from TV Line...Rachel Bloom "Performance of the Week"

(The ratings were on par with last year, but then, it was opposite Voice, Dancing Stars, Big Bang, Gotham...so who knows?) It's hard to believe that a series like Crazy with a smaller broadcast audience, even with awards and streaming services, Netflix and being in about 30 countries, still has to fight to be considered a success. So tell your friends to watch.

Also, just found a nice interview/article from GeeksOut with Pete Gardner who plays bisexual Darryl.

Here's hoping that the viewer numbers go up without Hamilton to compete with - or that if it does get cancelled, Netflix will pick it up.



Fingers crossed and keep spreading the word!

Not a lot of time for me to post right now, but I wanted to get this out...Fanfare!!!

Patti LuPone and Tovah Feldshuh will be guest stars later in the season. I haven't got any more details but TF posted this photo on instagram today....

I can't wait to see what they do! TF already plays Rebecca's mother from last season. More later..

The ratings for this show have always been low, but the ratings for last week's season premiere were not on par with last season's averages. They were dismal -- the lowest rated episode in the show's history. CW has done them no favors by giving them the literal worst time slot possible, but any idea that the show's Netflix debut would improve ratings for the new season appears to be wishful thinking.

Hi Kids! You won't believe the great "homage" to Marilyn Monroe and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" that Rachel Bloom and company have put together for this week's show. This is an article from the LA Times that includes two videos, one is a 2 minute "making of" with the composers and orchestrators, the 2nd one is the song. It's about 3 1/2 minutes. They've done a great job recreating the set but this time everything is blue instead of red. "Rebecca" sings about being in her "Love Triangle" in a stunning azure/palatinate satin blue gown like MM. They are really going all out with the music this year...and in the right show, Rachel Bloom could hit the Broadway stage and I think she'd be a "MM Smash!".

Here are the videos and article.

Yay, Oh Yay! And thank God! They use a real orchestra!

Hey baby, I think CW knows it's a niche show but it seems like they are throwing some more money toward CEG this year. (and Friday night had a World Series game also) I didn't see them but RB was on Dandy Cohen, and Kelly Ripa and a few others this week. She was even at 54 Below. I would hope that iTunes and music downloads, a Netflix following and being shown in 40 other countries is enough for CW to make a profit. Plus it's winning awards for CW. They just got another Dance/Choreographers/Achievement Award for the show and choreographer.

In addition to PR they are spending money on the music videos this year too. Tonight's show has the Marilyn Monroe song with a dozen chorus boys!

(and check out her All Star Funny or Die song on Trump; it is WTF hilarious).

anyone still watching? i caught up on the last few episodes last night and thought they were great. Valencia and Rebecca as friends is kind of fantastic tbh. ratings have been not-so-good and i've heard it's a shortened season but i hope it gets brought back. i was however sad to learn that Santino Fontana has left the show permanently, especially since he kind of seemed like he would be Rebecca's "endgame." Looking forward to more of season 2!

The ratings are dismal. You're deluding yourself.

As much as I love this show, I highly doubt there will be a season 3.
