I watched new girl with siblings and friends, for 3-4 episodes (and they all didnt last as long as I did), and frankly even if I'm mass consumer of tv series and demand little in quality (pretty much watch anything), it was honest to god the most unfunny attempts of comedy I seen in a long time. Thats despite being fan of Ms Deschanels natural charm. It has the worst writing I seen of a comedy series prolly.
