Uh. oh. I guess not all publicity is good publicity.

What a pussy......She is unattractive and FAT......................

[SouthernListen]

She's revolting. But the problem with her is not that she's unattractive, but that she writes herself nude into every scene possible. Her mindset of uber-shallow pointless life masquerading as "deep" in her series is also unappealing, though it's unclear if that's a commentary on how good or bad that lifestyle is.

Spot on. I can't figure out if I hate her more for accosting us with the vile affront that is her naked body or her character's entitled, spoiled, fucking skankitude.

She's gross.

[Smartguy]

The show works because she is not hot. That's the point.

Does not compute. If I wanted to watch pig women I'd look out my window. No more pig women on my tv goddamnit!

It doesn't work for me and her looks have nothing to do with it. The show just isn't funny, but I'm not a chick or 20 years old.

I might be out to lunch here. I think the writing is great. I like these kind of shows because they remind me of my life before marriage, kids, and career. The same reasons I come here I guess.

I tried for the first couple episodes, I really did, but it depressed the shit out of me and I just couldn't relate to cast.
Maybe I'm just getting old.

Yeah, but you've always been "off"....................definitely not stupid, but...............well....................I think you summed it up best in your sig.

I'm with you Smartguy, the show is great and funny, but I love self deprecating humor or that Woody Allen style bare honesty observational humor (something Howard used to have, or he was better at lying about it). Some scenes are even more honest than I've seen on film or TV ever. This isn't the show you watch for hot chicks, but if you want hot chicks, there are a few on there, it's not just about Lena only. And her main boyfriend is a funny motherfucker, it just took a few episodes to understand him, I hated him at first, but by the end of the season I was howling with laughter. I'm a 39 year old straight man and even I can't believe I'm into a show about 20 something chicks trying to find their way in life.

Yes, because guys with better prospects are always screwing the cows. Very realistic. She's writing her dream world, where buff young men actually give a damn about her. Fine, but not good TV. Fake, Fake, Fake. Just a cynical appeal to the blob couch potatoes out there.

How does gay-faggot Howard get it so wrong?!? What has transpired here would be like going on a date with Chelsea Handler and not getting blown before the appetizer.

Like j shmuck said, there are levels upon levels here. I'd probably have to be on mushrooms to point them all out...................

So the new and improved, evolved, warm 'n fuzzy, pandering to Main St. America-Howard refers to seeing Dunham naked as "a rape".

He doesn't even know how to "shock-jock" anymore; that's just a retarded line, and the only unforgivable type of offensive; unfunny-offensive.

That was definitely an occasion where he could've used Jackie feeding him one-liners.

In addition to being a bro of the show, Apatow is basically the Don Corleone of mediocre comedies for the masses these days............................not exactly the kind of guy you'd want to piss off, disappoint, or in any way disparage anything he had anything to do with. Not if you're a guy who was looking to break into movies, or producing, or whatever the fuck Howard is actually looking to break into, aside from wallets.

What was the upside there?!?



networking/playing the game
getting women on his side
being funny

It's so ironic that "Girls" encapsulates almost everything that's wrong with today's show-biz, yet Howard still managed to Booey-pitch the target.

this. i don't watch the show either, but i bet lots of 'normal' women watch it.

[Smartguy]

It's a good show, you don't have to masterbate to every program on tv. It is about her fucked up view of the world.

We all have or had a chick like that in our lives.......Why does it make it any more than what it is cause it's on the tube?

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

It is about her fucked up view of the world.

And for that view, I want to punch her in the throat.

[GaryPuppet]

Cant believe hes back tracking. I was reading on different sites today who were giving howie shit for what he said.

Damn google alerts about those articles must have gotten him to take to twitter and say that. What a fag.
