Sorry But Does Anyone Else Already HATE this show?

Yes, if it wasn't a comedy. Is it?

I feel like there are four different shows this season (this, Selfie, Manhattan Love Story, and Marry Me) that are basically Mindy Project clones -- the romance, the clothing, the pop culture references. I'll reserve judgment on Marry Me because I haven't seen it yet, and I like Casey Wilson. But I think Mindy, the fact that she isn't a skinny perfect girl (not to mention the fact that she writes her show and just has a really edgy, borderline-offensive sense of humor that doesn't mind skewing religion, politics, race, class differences, not to mention letting her character get messy and ugly sometimes), is the only thing that makes her show work. I'm picturing all these network execs, going, "What if we could get the rich, educated demographic that likes Mindy's show, but put a WHITE GIRL in it so it would be more popular?" But, so far, they come across as very sanitized generic versions, sort of like all the different Friends clones over the years. Maybe one will work (HIMYM was a Friends clone that worked) but there are a lot of fails.

Of the three clone shows I've seen, Manhattan Love Story is the best because Annaleigh (sp?) Tipton does have a bit of that manic craziness, exhibited in Crazy Stupid Love and this role, that I think is necessary to make comedy work. I'll give the other two one more watch, this one mostly because there's nothing on Thursday nights anyway, but I don't have high hopes.

what sitcoms (present or past) do you like?

I'm probably near or somewhere in the vicinity of the OP's demographic. I watched this season opener for Ben Feldman, out of nostalgia for Ginsberg. All I can say is that Ben Feldman is one fantastic actor, because in twenty-two minutes, I forgot Ginsberg ever existed. I wouldn't say I "hate" this show. I just won't be watching again.

since the first 2 seconds of the commercial I saw for it.

YES. I hate the narration (maybe I would hate it less if it weren't Katey Sagal's voice---it's just too recognizable) and I don't want reminding how long they date every episode. Too much. I'm tired of new shows always featuring trendy, perfect people with perfect jobs, offices, wardrobes, and homes, who never seem to actually work much or have actual problems, and then whine about stupid little problems. "Oh, you have a date you set up before we met? I am going to be snotty back." "Oh you were arrested for something totally benign and not bad at all? I'm not going to listen to your explanation." I HATE Zelda. I don't know if it is the actress or the character or both. She's pretty demanding and I know she's supposed to be straitlaced in response to her upbringing but something about the way she does it is completely off-putting and overdone. And I hate her eyeliner. Does she ever look less than perfect? I have yet to find her very relatable. I like her best friend way better!!

the fact that this show has a 7.3 is completely, entirely unbelievable to me. it's not even funny! the main characters have zero chemistry and none of the episodes have anything to do with the other. i can't see them getting closer over time or having particularly meaningful conversations. the plot lines are meh. there is no character, very little style. the only saving grace is tension between the main characters' best friends. when they finally admit they're attracted to each other, that's when i will turn this god awful show back on. but unlike someone else on this board, i actually really like katey sagal's narration.
