"Happy Endings" has the advantage of no singular focus. How many more awkward dances can she do, how many more social cues can she miss before it's just not funny anymore? Even Zooey Deschanel can't pull Jess off. or rather, that it's going. There's no story, there's just Zooey Deschanel and her cutesy ways, which will inevitably get old.
I'm ready to give up on "New Girl" while I'm almost all caught up on all that I missed last season on "Happy Endings." "New Girl" is 3 episodes in and I just can't see where it's all going. Naturally, in the process of trying to "fix" Jess, Jess unloads heartwarming lessons on them through her grandma sweater-ed ways. She's just been dumped by her boyfriend, so she's moved in with 3 guys who try - pretty aimlessly - to "fix" her. "New Girl" centers around Jess, who is a cutesy, kitschy girl with pretty much zero social awareness. The premise isn't exactly the same, but it's about a group of 3 girls and 3 guys who have bonded through either old fashioned friendship, romance or, in one case, shared genes. They live in Chicago and they seem to be in their late 20s and early 30s.
was one of the roommates in the pilot episode of "New Girl" and a main cast member of "Happy Endings" while the actor who plays one of the main roommates in "New Girl," Max Greenfield, guest-starred as the romantic interest of one of the main "Happy Endings" characters. (Not to mention that there has been some major cast member sharing between the two shows. And when I was watching the pilot of "New Girl," I actually thought it was reminiscent of another show I had seen before, but couldn't place. Unbeknownst (or mostly just completely forgotten) to me, I'd seen an episode of "Happy Endings" last season, its first. We're a few weeks into the fall television season and I've pretty much dropped all the shows I thought I'd be watching and instead, I'm watching shows I hadn't even heard of.
