You know how guys always say that they broke up with a girl because, “that bitch was crazy!”? Well, The CW is taking that premise to a unique new level.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is the brainchild of comedian and You Tube star Rachel Bloom. In the series she plays Rebecca Bunch, a high-powered New York City lawyer who happens to run in to an old boyfriend on the street. She hasn’t seen him since he dumped her at high school summer camp.
That’s where the crazy comes in.
When her former flame, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III), off-handedly mentions that he’s moving across the country to West Covina, California, Rebecca gets the crazy eyes going. You know the ones. Everyone has seen the classic crazy girl eyes.
She uproots her entire life to follow Josh Chan to West Covina. Does Josh know she’s totally insane, stalking him on the internet, and desperately trying to arrange a meet-cute? You’ll have to watch to find out!
While it will be interesting enough just to get inside the mind of a crazy ex-girlfriend, the way in which viewers will experience Rebecca’s emotional states is also quite unique; she sings.
No, we’re not talking about chart topping pop hits, like on that other musical show. These songs are original, funny, and help us get inside the mind of a person who’s not just under the spell of love…she’s legitimately experiencing a complete mental breakdown.
Rebecca’s crazy will be familiar to everyone who’s ever Facebook stalked an ex, and her actions might leave you wondering just how crazy you are, as well.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend premieres Monday, October 12 at 8/9c on The CW.
Here’s a photo preview of what we can expect from what is sure to be The CW’s most talked about new show!
1. Welcome to West Covina, California!
West Covina is just two hours from the beach. Well, it's actually four in traffic. Everything about West Covina seems magical from the marching band to giant pretzels. What does Rebecca think is the best thing about her new hometown? Josh Chan just happens to live there. But it's not like she moved there for Josh. That would just be crazy.
2. OMG! It's Josh Chan!
Rebecca's ever-so-dreamy high school boyfriend Josh Chan is the catalyst for her big move to West Covina. Rebecca was totally in love with Josh all throughout summer camp. Sadly, he dumped her once summer was over, so we have to wonder: will he remember his former flame or was she forgotten over time?
3. Rebecca, Meet Greg
In West Covina, Rebecca meets Greg, a handsome bartender (who is definitely NOT Josh Chan). Greg (Santino Fontana) happens to know Josh, which is great news for Rebecca. Will she get to know the bartender in an attempt to get closer to Josh, or would that be considered a little crazy?
4. Hello Paula!
Why does a smart and accomplished young lawyer want to leave New York City and take a job as a lawyer for a small firm in West Covina? That seems...crazy! Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin) isn't falling for Rebecca's ruse that she just needed a change. Will she find out the truth about Rebecca's move and expose her craziness?
5. It's the Sexy Gettin' Ready Song
Have you ever wondered what girls do to primp for a date? We'll give you a hint: It's not pretty, and could possibly leave you forever changed. You might think it's all sexy and fun, but when girls get ready, it's serious (and sometimes disturbing,) business. How does Rebecca get ready? Why, with a little song and dance, of course!
6. What's His Facebook Status?
Facebook stalking is not necessarily a bad thing, right? It's just nice to know what your friends are up to, you know, like, all the time. And if Facebook is down, you can check Instagram or Twitter or, you know, every other form of social media. Just for good measure. What has Rebecca discovered about Josh Chan in this photo? You'll have to tune in to find out!
7. Greg is Super Cute
Rebecca might be totally into Josh Chan, but we're totally into Greg! What's going on here? Is he consoling her, or making a move? Maybe he just caught a glimpse of the crazy in Rebecca's eyes and is re-thinking his decision to befriend her. Does he have a thing for ladies who are obviously having a mental breakdown? Because if so, he might be in luck!
