Fox just opened the series order season with a pickup of early frontrunner The New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel. There had been speculation that the network may order its strongest comedy pilots, New Girl and possibly Family Album and/or I Hate My Teenage Daughter early this week. Picking the shoe-in pilots to series early allows their producers to get the best available writers. Created by Liz Meriwether, The New Girl stars Zooey Deschanel as an unlucky-in-love elementary school teacher who moves away from her former boyfriend and in with three unruly guys. Jake M. Johnson, Max Greenfield, Hannah Simone and Damon Wayans Jr. co-star.

I planned to be upset by this pick-up because it meant one less spot for Lie To Me, but I love Zooey Deschanel, so I really can't be mad.
ReplyDeleteI love Zooey, so I may check this out!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess this is a death nail for Happy Endings which also co-stars Damon Wayans Jr?
ReplyDeleteNo, not really. If Happy Endings gets picked up Damon will still stay on Happy Endings.
ReplyDeleteZooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield! Score! I always liked Deputy Leo.
ReplyDeleteWhere is FOX executives' brains located ? In their pants. Zooey Deschanel is hot, the plot is pure crap but who cares, it's fun to say we have both Deschanel sisters on our network, yay.
ReplyDeleteStill not over Breaking In, The Chicago Code and Human Target's cancellations. Fuck FOX.
The New Girl sounds like it good be funny, it tested really well, along with I Hate My Teenage Daughter
ReplyDeleteI guess that's the final nail in the coffin of

Zooey Deschanel, so I might give it a try. Not sure yet.
