If either of these numbers had appeared on Inside Amy Schumer (rather than this show, which is simultaneously mis-marketed and under-marketed), they would have gone viral for sure, and inspired all sorts of think-pieces on sites like Slate, Salon, and Huffington Post. Amy Schumer is awesome, but her show has never had anything quite so polished and perfect as these two musical numbers -- hilarious, subversive, raunchy, feminist -- all while being spot-on pop music parodies.

Needless to say, I'm enjoying the hell out of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and watching Rachel Bloom in action is like seeing a star being born. What can't she do?

http://www.cwtv.com usually posts episodes the day after they air, which is nice.

I love the show and adore Rachel Bloom, but I discovered it thanks to positive Internet buzz after the premiere. I've watched and enjoyed plenty of shows with bad titles or marketing campaigns that don't accurately represent the shows: iZombie, Terriers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I also LOVE musicals.

But all those factors combined will work against the show finding any kind of mainstream audience, I'm afraid. I am always stunned by how many people vehemently hate musicals, even if they like music just fine when people aren't bursting into song and dance routines between conversations.
