Season 1 - Episode 8
Fox (US)
This wasn't a great episode by any means. But put Zooey Deschenel in her underwear several times and I will watch. Possibly several times.
The episode saw Jess attempt to start a sexual relationship wth Paul (the returning Justin Long), but finds herself struggling to know what to do after getting stuck in a rut with her ex. She tries a variety of things to get ideas on how to spice things up, including going shopping for ridiculous underwear with CeCe, watching Schmidt's increasingly depraved porn collection and eventually asking the guys for advice. Of course things don't go according to plan when she manages to scare Paul off, but by the end of the episode they're going at it in the lift, so I guess it worked out ok.
Elsewhere there is a tedious subplot where Nick needs a haircut and goes to Winston's all black barbershop, and another silly B-plot where Schmidt tries to bond with his female boss and colleagues. Which has some funny moments, but nothing great.
"Bad in Bed" wasn't an awful episode by any means, it just wasn't that good either. It had its moments, but not one of the best of the run.
Episode: ***
Zooey in underwear: *****
