I guess I should have known this show was going to be a gold mine when I saw that Liz Meriweather was the brains of the operation. In 2011, Meriweather wrote the hilarious screenplay for "No Strings Attached", which starred Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman (if you haven't seen this get it on your Netflix queue ASAP). The movie was just one great line after another, and Meriweather is back at it again with The New Girl.
For those of you that missed the pilot, Jess (Zooey Deschanel) is quite a character. She's quirky, fun, sometimes annoying yet very entertaining. She even creates songs about herself. Who does that?
Partner her up with her three male roommates (Nick - the emotional one, Schmidt - the d-bag/wannabe player, Coach - the athletic guy with no idea how to deal with women) and you have quite the combination. The pilot got great ratings last week so here's to hoping for a repeat performance.
Nailed it. (See "Her Tuesday must-watch" post.) No donating to the douchebag jar for Him. Tonight, at least.
