It’s never not going to funny that when Santino Fontana left crazy ex girlfriend they wrote him this absolutely beautiful devastating song about how Greg and Rebecca’s relationship does not work on a fundamental level and they’ve both hurt each other too much to have a fulfilling relationship as a send off to his character. Then the writers probably thought “ah shit we still need more songs for this episode,” and then wrote him a tap dance musical number about all the different places in Rebecca’s house Greg and her had sex and then that ended up being his last song on the show.

It’s insane to me that Crazy Ex Girlfriend isn’t like a well known popular show it’s genuinely one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. So anyways here are some reasons to watch it:

It’s a musical with pretty much 2-3 great songs per episode

It tackles themes of anti-misogyny and mental illness in such a unique and nuanced way

It has an Asian American main love interest which is so rare for tv shows

It got its full 4 seasons so it doesn’t feel rushed and has a fantastic ending

This one’s kind of a spoiler but it needs to be mentioned that this show has a main character with borderline personality disorder and the representation is the best I’ve seen in television.

I still wanna know more about Greg Serrano's alleged cat. You can't just mention a cat as a joke in a song and then never show me the cat or even talk about it again. How does Bruno live peacefully with his dad's birds? Or was this in the past before he moved back in with his dad? Where is Bruno now? Tell me Greg

Thinking about Rebecca and Paula and how Paula is the first person aside from Rebecca to have a solo-- "all your cares will disappear" in the first reprise of "West Covina." She is the first person to step into Rebecca's world, and see her and her goals and desires and she says "This is gonna be so much fun." And then in the finale, she steps into the innermost part of Rebecca's psyche, and she sees all that Rebecca can create and says "this is gonna be so much fun." And y'all have the god damn audacity to say she should have ended up with Greg, Nathaniel or Josh??? Like the best platonic love story between Rebecca and Paula, and moreover the best story about falling in love with YOURSELF and what you can offer the world and the urge to create that is deep in your soul, had not just unfolded on the screen in front of you. I'm crying.

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

Thinking about how crazy it would be if Ted Mosby and late-show Rebecca Bunch interacted. It would go about as well as putting gasoline on a fire. She would tell him to prioritize figuring out who he is and solving the deeper issues in his life that this search for the one is a proxy for and smoke would come out of his ears before his head exploded. A character like her who wants to focus on non-romantic pursuits not because she's canonically using them to try to make her father proud of her cough cough Robin cough cough but because she's come to realize the value of truly putting herself first and not in a sexy way being in HIMYM would be like someone with a gun showing up to a knife fight. Barney would approach her and then burn up in her presence before he could say anything.

on a random crazy ex girlfriend kick and i'm re-bowled over by how gorgeous santino fontana and donna lynne champlin's voices are. like everyone in the cast is excellent but these two are glorious.

When Greg just so casually and with no expectation tells Rebecca, "You're the love of my life, you know" while his car is in the shop and their "competition date" got messed up then they wanted to cancel it anyway is just Perfection. Im crushed and ruined forever because of it. That kind of love is impossible and messy but so fuckin pure and will always hurt a little even if it works out.

I know the whole point of the show at the end is that you gotta make your own path and not rely on romance to complete yourself. But also? I die a little every time I think of it
