Pop Matters The promos for New Girl suggest that it’s something new or at least mildly unusual. But its first episode looks like more of the same. Renee Scolaro Mora
USA Today New 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. Robert Bianco
Chicago Sun-Times New Girl didn’t give me as many laugh-out-loud moments as some comedies. But the show delivered something extra that my favorite sitcoms often don’t: It made me feel warm and fuzzy. Lori Rackl
Los Angeles Times 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. Mary McNamara
