Review: New Girl
5 stars.
It is with great enthusiasm that I tell you that Fox was able to bring the other Deschanel sister onto their network in their new sitcom, “The New Girl,” which had its series premiere Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. after the season premiere of “Glee.” Jess [Zooey Deschanel] is an adorably nerdy girl who suffers a humiliating break-up and moves into a bachelor pad that she found through Craig’s List. The boys who become her roommates are Nick, Schmidt and Coach. Nick is the more sensitive guy, also going through a break-up. Coach is the loud personal trainer and Schmidt seems to be a self-absorbed horndog, with a soft side. The boys didn’t know what they were getting themselves into until they discovered that she watches “Dirty Dancing” over and over and cries non-stop. Highlights of the premiere included the “douchebag jar” the guys have to put a dollar into every time they make a “douchebag remark,” and watching the close relationships form between Jess and her new roommates.
