New Girl

I have a few shows this season that I'm interested in watching but I've always been bad about watching the first episode.


Hence, why I only just watched New Girl today.
Turns out it's a comcast ondemand thing. The show doesn't really premiere until Tuesday... So if you have Comcast ondemand, go check it out New Girl now!

And it was pretty awesome and I already have reminders plugged into my phone. I was kind of excited for this show just from the previews.

Jess Day [Zooey Deschanel] just found out her model boyfriend is cheating on her [the wikipedia page calls in a "surprise breakup"] and she needs to find a new place to live. She happens upon a craigslist ad [craigslist killer anyone?] for a place with 3 guys... And we see just how quirky Jess really is. That isn't to say that the guys are completely normal.

What to know about Jess:

1. She likes to sing... this includes occasionally making up songs as well
2. She is friends with models
3. She is quirky... Veeeeery quirky
4. She doesn't understand some social interacts... Especially when it comes to guys

And there are her 3 roommates: Nick, Schmidt, and Coach.

What to know about Nick:

1. I don't know if this will be reemerging but he's kind of obsess with his ex-girlfriend. This is kind of resolved in the episode but who knows
2. Bartender
3. When he is drunk, he calls his ex-girlfriend and speaks in an Australian accent [again, don't know if this will continue in the series]

What to know about Schmidt:

1. He's definitely Jersey Shore like [save for the tanning]
2. He has his own swear-word-esque jars. Except he puts money in whenever the other roommates decide he is being douchey. It is called the Douchebag Jar
3. He is the reason Jess is living with the guys. He was interested in her model friends.
4. He takes off his shirt even if everyone wants him to keep it on.

What to know about Coach

1. No interaction skills with the ladies [he yells a little too much]
2. Personal trainer
3. He's gone after the pilot due to Damon Wayans, Jr.'s obligations to Happy Endings
4. His character will be replaced with Winston [who we don't meet until the 2nd episode]. Apparently he was only subletting the apartment.

We also meet Cece, who is one of Jess' model friends. I can't really say much outside of the fact that she is a very loyal friend to Jess. And she appears to be fairly intelligent. But I can't make much more of her than that yet. Hopefully we'll see more of her in the future.

Either way, I'm definitely excited about this show.
