Yeah, I've seen a few episodes of New Girl, too. Danielle loves it. It hasn't really hooked me - my favourite character was in the pilot and he couldn't make it through to a full series, and his replacement lacks the eccentricities the rest of them seem to have. I think I can watch random episodes but not get really into it to the level that I could watch a full season in one go.
I've heard a lot about Game of Thrones and will probably check it out. =]
