    GROSS!! PATHETIC! BORING!

    This show is so so so good until this very season and specially this episode...I didn't laugh in the whole episode! There was not a single enjoyable moment. They were friends for 10 years but that didn't look like it. Like seriously,Who are the best friends who tries to do some stupid things to break his 2 bestfriend's relationship! This is not Schmidt! This is not how Schmidt would do! Terrible story.

    Unrealistic

    The show was so good until this episode. It's so unrealistic. If your best friend cheats on your best friend you're not going to speak to them or go anywhere near them for a very long time. In real life Jess and Nick would never talk to Schmidt to quickly after cheating on their best friend!

    Winston and his cat? really?

    This delightful sitcom has me smh in its idiocy in season 3. Winston having a sick relationship with his cat is sooooo boring. Who even cares? Idk if I should waste any more time on what used to be my favorite show

      Nick Miller: I really like when a rap song uses a choir. It makes me feel really happy with all those ladies' voices coming and then the guy's rapping. I think it's awesome.
