Things we love, things we like and things that ruffle our feathers.

There's a 'New Girl' in Town

Calling all fans of Three's Company! (via Fox)
What do I love more than Missoni for Target and New York Fashion Week? Fall premieres and awards season, of course! There's only one hang-up: being forced to wait until the end of September for my favorite shows to return and for new ones to premiere.

Fox must have heard my impatient pleas because last week they released the first episode of New Girl on both Hulu and iTunes for free. The new show lived up to everything the promo promised: Zooey Deschanel playing an adorkable character, along with plenty of Dirty Dancing clips and a water cooler moment everyone will be talking about (see Douchebag Jar).

The reverse Three's Company comedy follows Jess (Zooey Deschanel), heartbroken and homeless, moving in with three bachelors after catching her man with his pants down. Plus, the guys aren't too shabby (Max Greenfield; Lamorne Morris, replacing Damon Wayans Jr. after the pilot; Jake M. Johnson). Although, if Schmidt (Greenfield) flashes his white, ab-less chest once more, I may go blind.
What's sure to be a top watercooler moment. (via Fox)

I'm not going to lie, there are a lot of woe-is-me, tissues everywhere, cue Dirty Dancing clips with Jess. However, the guys' humor evens out Jess' over-the-top dramatics. (Spoiler: Whenever Schmidt says something inappropriate—a bad pick-up line, for example—he must put a dollar in the Douchebag Jar). When they prove too much testosterone to handle, there's Jess' level-headed friend to add balance.

From Jess' charismatic geeky charm (playing with her glasses, making up theme songs) to Coach's inability to understand females, there's something for everyone.

At the very least, you'll start a Douchebag Jar for your house.
