The new girl

That’s Elizabeth Meriwether with the glasses, the creator of the Zooey Deschanel-fronted New Girl. THR listed her show and Suburgatory as the freshest feminine comedy on TV. Couldn’t agree more. New Girl gets cute without cutesy and perfectly balances the male cast with Deschanel. If Tina Fey and 30 Rock set the standard, Meriwether and New Girl are the alt-covers.
