New Girl

One of the shows I've really gotten into on Hulu is "New Girl", starring Zooey Deschanel. It started off a bit slow (but still good) and each episode just keeps getting progressively better and funnier. I guess that's what happens when you start to establish the central characters, their personalities, their quirks, their foibles.

I will admit that the primary reason I even began to check out the show was *because* it starred goofy Zooey. You know how you and your friends always discuss celebrity crushes, and then you list the one same-sex crush you would have if you swung that way (or, I guess, opposite-sex if you're gay). Mine was always Zooey. She's cute and quirky, and most of all, she's classy. She exemplifies the notion that you can be sexy without having to show off as much skin as is legally possible. And she's a terrific singer, to boot! People say she looks like Katy Perry, but I think it's the other way around-- Katy Perry looks like a trashier version of Zooey Deschanel :-P

Zooey's character, Jess, is much like her in those respects. Jess is goofy, she's quirky, she's adorable and cute without wearing skin-tight, revealing clothing, and she has a heart of gold.

When it comes to guys I find attractive, I'm never drawn to the stereotypical "hot" hunk, as evidenced by my celeb list (linked above). I prefer the classic, clean-cut gentleman. The same, apparently, goes for my taste in women. I'm not gay, but the more I watch Zooey, the more I "fall in love" with her, for lack of a better expression. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Anyway, if you haven't seen "New Girl", I highly encourage you to check it out. It is, after all, available on Hulu!
