Everything about New Girl, from her goofy costars to the distinctively quirky writing, is irresistible.

Girl sets up a viable premise and introduces a strong set of supporting characters, which is just what you want from fall's most promising new series.

This fall sitcom is a hit entirely because of Deschanel's performance as Jess. [7 Nov 2011, p.41]

Fox seems to be on the right track, though, with a lead character who has ample potential to gawkily bloom and grow.

It's the best new comedy of the fall season, and the only new show I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish, rather than having to squint real hard and try to picture what it might look like once the producers figure out what to do with their stars.

New Girl is charming and quite funny, but especially when compared with the other two shows, it seems quite old-school.

Viewers will come to see Deschanel but they'll stay for the whole package because smart writing, confident timing and characters that are both familiar yet surprisingly fresh make New Girl the most promising comedy, and one of the most promising shows, of the season.

Creator Elizabeth Meriwether manages to make the situations funny and lets Deschanel channel her charm--a winning combination.
