    TV Cast Hang: Community x New Girl

    TV Cast Hang: Community x New Girl

    Which TV ensemble would make for a better hang: journalist Candice Lim’s choice of New Girl or audio producer Ronald Young Jr.’s pick of Community? That’s up to Aminatou Sow to decide! Would you rather spend time with a crew who are all at the prime TV cool age (aka late 20s/early 30s), or with people of all ages and backgrounds? Which show had the better guest stars … and the better hijinks? And how does Jess’s quirkiness compare with Pierce’s problematic ways? Aminatou weighs the answers to these questions and more to decide which cast would be more fun to add to her social circle.

This show is so fun!

I hadn’t thought about Space Jam in years, what a throwback! I totally laughed out loud at both episodes. I love how short and snappy they are, and the debate concept is really cute. Excited to hear more!

Just listened to the first episode about New Girl vs. Community. Two shows I love! Great host, great guests, great topic. I’ll be back next week.
