Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Season 1, Episode 4

Rebecca does a terrible, terrible thing!

In rewatching this after doing a random deep dive into the US presidents - I stand by Rebecca's choice of Rutherford B Hayes. He was a sweet optimistic doof who found the joy in everything and barely even wanted to be president. His diaries are very endearing and hilarious. He's very much a breath of fresh air in a sea of... well, politicians.

I wish I could say that sleeping with the vegan guy is the worst decision Rebecca makes, but......Anyway, I love this episode. "Settle For Me" is a great song to show how much the songs are still very much from Rebecca's perspective. SHE interprets his date-proposal as suggesting that she settle, but later he contradicts it when she called it his "settle for me vibe". He says, "Okay, well, that's not quite how I remembered it..." Such careful writing in this show....

Your reactions are so terrific in terms of seeing that everybody on the show needs to work on themselves, and that that's purposeful on the part of the writers. There's a lot of nuance in everything, and you get that. "Audra Levine" is Rebecca's (in effect) arch-nemesis back East. They were rivals in school, then she took the promotion that Rebecca refused (and her mom delighted in pointing out to her). We haven't heard the last about her. Isn't "Settle for Me" a wonderful song? One of the best of the whole series, which is saying a lot. A perfect evocation of the world of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in B&W, music by Cole Porter or Irving Berlin. And yes, Santino Fontana (Greg) has an outstanding voice (and some tap skills as well). He deserved the Best Actor Tony Award he won a year ago (and in Tootsie he sometimes had to realign his voice as an alto -- which he did expertly). Rachel Bloom has remarked that one of the things she wanted to do in writing that song was point out how often those (great) old songs use rather condescending words like "sweetie pie" or "little girl." So in this song he addresses her as "shmoopie pie" and "sugar jugs"... and then sings "little girl", but there's a twist and it turns out that HE's the one feeling like a little girl. As he then remarks, "demeaning terms are all that I have left / of my masculinity, so settle for me."

A couple of production points you might find interesting (from Rachel's interviews over the years). Remember that Jason had those balls to help his carpal tunnel? Those were written into the script so that the song "Sex with a Stranger" could have lyrics about his smelly balls and still be allowed on the air. Each time she makes such references, we clearly see those balls onscreen. The taco festival scene filmed on one of LA's rare drizzly days, and having organized all the extras etc.for that day (and having very little slack in the schedule and budget), they went ahead and wrote the weather into the script. All the songs have different style references, as you've noticed, and the ones done music-video style often parody very particular video models. You noticed Katy Perry last week, and this time, "Sex with a Stranger" is modeled on Ciara's "Love Sex Magic," animal-print leotard and all, with a little of Beyoncé's "Partition" thrown in. You're probably also noticing that they always find a cute way to lead into the theme song; this week Heather says "I don't even know where she came from," and bang! we get "I was working hard at a New York job" etc. It's fun to look out for as you continue to watch future episodes.
