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:
- She likes to sing... this includes occasionally making up songs as well
- She is friends with models
- She is quirky... Veeeeery quirky
- 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:
- 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
- Bartender
- 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:
- He's definitely Jersey Shore like [save for the tanning]
- 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
- He is the reason Jess is living with the guys. He was interested in her model friends.
- He takes off his shirt even if everyone wants him to keep it on.
What to know about Coach
- No interaction skills with the ladies [he yells a little too much]
- Personal trainer
- He's gone after the pilot due to Damon Wayans, Jr.'s obligations to Happy Endings
- 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.
