Starting Fall 2011, FOX released a variety of new television series. From a fiction drama "Terra Nova" to a new game show "Take the Money and Run". Among them is the captivating and humorous TV series "New Girl". Rated 7.7 out of 10 by the Internet Movie Data Base, New Girl is full of potential and is quickly becoming one of FOX's top-rated TV shows.
I came across "New Girl" one Tuesday evening while talking on the phone. Needing a bit of privacy, I shut my bedroom door and turned my television on high volume; which coincidentally happens to be on FOX channel 2. After a brief conversation, I told my friend I had to go because homework was piling up and an essay was due the next day..
"Jess!"
"Who's Jess? You're talking to.... (whisper)'Tiger Boobs'. (She removes her long coat) Bu-bum--bu-bum-bu-bum-bu-bu-bummm. Who's that girl? Whooo's that girrrrrrl!? Hah. It's Jess!"
Jess, with only a pillow covering her body, begins to prance around while singing to her boyfriend. The half-naked man, comes out the bedroom and as Jess turns around she is flabbergasted. Another woman with nothing but a tank top and panties on is in the apartment with her boyfriend.
My first thoughts were: Ouch! Caught red-handed! And why is this so called 'Jess' singing while nude?
Unable to resist, I watched the entire episode.
Like many other sitcoms, the story plot of "New Girl" revolves around good-hearted, yet careless, young singles.
The story begins with Zooey Deschanel from "500 Days of Summer", starring as the quirky Jess Day. In an attempt to surprise her boyfriend, she went home sooner than expected and found her boyfriend fooling around with another woman. Instead of trying to "work things out", she decided to move out.
On Craiglist she found three bachelors looking for a fourth roommate, and goes for an interview. In a vote of 2 to 1, Jess makes the cut and moves in. The men consists of a jock that is socially awkward around women and goes by the name Coach. Nick, the sensitive fellow out of the three. And the average American bachelor, Schmidt, a ladies-man that almost never gets the ladies and is always striving to get to the next level in his career. Together, the men assists Jess in overcoming the depression of a horrible break-up, while in turn, Jess plays a huge impact on each of the men.
Overall, the social awkwardness, catchy theme song, humorous dialogues, and real life situations makes this enthralling TV series worth watching on Tuesday nights at 8pm.
[Although I would not recommend this for young audiences, due to the fact it does contain some filthy humor.]

Any suggestions/requests on what my next blog should be on?
Oh! Summer from 500 Days of Summer.... That little... heartless person. Hmphft. Zooey Deschanel is pretty though. She does sounds socially awkward, but in a happy way haha. She's like the great parrot from the north... xD
ReplyDeleteHi! You already got me interested in this show. I believe that including sexual explicit(ish) detail is the best way to get many male readers interested in a show. Keep up the good job
ReplyDeleteHehe. This is interesting. I like this blog. Though I doubt I'm ever going to watch this show...
ReplyDeleteI love Zooey Deschanel. I watched part of this online but I'm not sure if its age appropriate. I like how it's a summary because when I don't have enough time to watch a show, I will get the info here!
ReplyDeleteI adore New Girl. It's fun and witty, and you can't help but love Zooey Deschanel's portrayal of Jess. Who is your favorite character so far? I also hope you'll post more updates on this show.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my friends have been talking about New Girl. In fact, today, someone was singing the theme song. This is crazy. I really want to see it. Thanks for posting the links!
ReplyDeleteI have heard way too much about this show as of late to not see at least a few minutes anymore. At least now, I can make a decision as to whether or not I like it, and have something to back it up as well.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope you review the opening night of House though! That show is so brilliant!
I caught a bit of the show after Glee finished and I was too lazy to change it. It's pretty funny
ReplyDeleteHey Christine,
ReplyDeleteNew Girl...sounds like a fun and interesting show. But I don't think I'll be watching it anytime soon. But I would love to read more about the show...and other shows. Looking forward to your next blog!
