Trivia
Prior to production Rachel Bloom met with a personal trainer who promised to get her ripped. Bloom decided against it, rationalizing that she wanted to portray her character as someone with an average body type. She also insisted on casting actors of all ages, races and body types to try to injects some realism into the show.

Goofs
The show is set in West Covina, California and is described as being "Just two hours from the beach, four hours in traffic." Actually, Seal Beach in Orange County is less than an hour away about 30 miles to the southwest of the city. Also, Santa Monica Beach on the other side of Los Angeles is only 35 miles away.

This is addressed in-show with characters questioning the statement, to no avail.

Why didn't anyone tell me about this show until now?!

"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is one of the best television shows on today....so why is it I never heard about this? Only when my oldest daughter came home for a visit did I learn about this one...after the second season?! Fortunately, the show is supposed to return for season 3...and you should binge on them like I am in order to catch up and be ready once the show returns.

Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) is a super-well educated and successful young lawyer. After all, she went to Harvard AND Yale and now is working a great job in New York City...and is about to be offered a partnership in her firm! Yet, she just ain't right in the head. When she sees an old boyfriend from summer camp a decade before, she learns that he's moving back to his old home town in California...she impulsively quits her job and moves to this city!! Why? Because she is highly delusional and imagines he'll soon fall in love with her and they'll live happily ever after! What's next? See this very weird and surreal show and find out...and it's a show that always keeps you guessing...and is filled with some of the funniest songs I have ever heard.

The writing for this show is amazing. While the show COULD lose its momentum quickly, episode after episode it keeps your interest...and features some of the strangest and most screwed up characters on TV. Well worth seeing...and there is nothing like it!!
