Favorites in the TV Fall Lineup

Primetime TV is addictive, especially when new shows come out that are as hilarious as these.

Series: The New Girl

Starring: Zooey Deschanel

Raves:

• Main character, Jess, sings songs about herself and what she's doing
• Three guy roomates agree to a fourth female roommate who found their add on Craigslist
• Jess is guy-clueless
• Roommate Schmidt is obsessed with Cece and thinks he has came, but she's a model
• Nick and Jess would make the perfect couple 
• Justin Long's eccentric character starts dating Jess (and I think it's brining out Nick's jealous side)
• Theme song "It's Jess!" ends in the boys holding up a picture frame around her face 

Rants:

• There was a really cool African American dude on the first episode who was never heard from again.

Series: Whitney

Starring: Whitney Cummings

Raves:

• Whitney and Alex are the cutest TV couple ever (this could have something to do with them play fighting all the time/being sarcastic like me and my husband)
• Great jokes
• Nothing extraordinary happens, but viewers can relate to the mixups/fights between couples
• Favorite episode: When Whitney tries to enjoy Alex's interests by playing racquetball and loses majorly, then whoops Alex at basketball, her "hidden talent." He's a super sore loser (it's funny to watch him pout). Seriously, I know a ton of boys that hate losing!

Rants:

• None at all!

Series: 2 Broke Girls

Starring: Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs

Raves:

• Max (Dennings) is hilarious: talented and sarcastic with a soft spot for animals. She says every comeback I wish I'd thought of
• Caroline (Behrs) balances her out as a rich-turned poor college grad who's good at business
• Johnny is a hot graffiti artist who has a thing for Max and their chemistry is palpable
• Max keeps a pet horse on the little porch of her apartment and takes a giant shovel to clean up its poop when they go for walks
• The owner of the diner where the girls work always has on DJ sized headphones and the chef is always making sex jokes (no, I wouldn't want that in a real workplace, but it's funny to watch)
• At the end of each episode, the running total that the girls have saved for their cupcake business appears (and either goes up or down)

Rants:

• Again, no complaints!
