The new FOX sitcom starring Zooey Deschanel premieres September 20th after the season premiere of "Glee." However, it has been made available on iTunes and many onDemand services two weeks before its premiere. It will be added to Hulu and FOX.com next week.

Because of my job I was able to see the pilot several months ago and it's absolutely delightful. It's incredibly hilarious and sweet, and Deschanel completely shines in the lead role. It's definitely going to be hard to top as the best new show on the broadcast networks this season. I would highly recommend it and hope that it succeeds when it premieres.

Can't wait for this show. I'm just disappointed Glee and New Girl are on at the same times as 90210 and Ringer. I guess I'll stick with the Fox shows and will have to download the other two.

Because of my unhealthy obsession with Zooey... I will be watching this.

I really like Zooey, but the pilot was disappointing. Worse, Zooey starts to get annoying in this one. I don't think she did herself any favors with this project

Liked the pilot, didn't love it. The biggest issue I have is they went 1 for 3 with the male characters. Jake M. Johnson as Nick easily outshines the other two in both comedy and dramatic sentiment

Apparantley Damon Wayans got recast after the pilot. I bet a lot of people are turned off by that. I HATE when they make the same character with a different actor. Just write up something to bring in a new character. How about he has to leave town and his cousin comes in to take his room spot. Yeah it's dumb, but not any dumber than selling the same guy with a different actor

Finally, Jess is the female Clark Kent, put her behind a pair of glasses and everyone in the show forgets she's one of the most attractive people alive/Superman. Oh well, I've never had a problem with Supes for that suspension of disbelief, always found it charming, and I do here

That's exactly what's happening.

I actually liked the pilot a lot. I'm really interested to see how this does, especially considering it being available 2 weeks before broadcast... Something tells me this is going to be a big hit.

Well, that couldn't have been avoided...it wasn't an issue where they didn't like him, but Happy Endings was renewed.

Just watched the pilot and it's the best thing I've seen all season so far. It was hysterical.

Loved it. And it has nothing to do with my unhealthy obsession with Zooey.

Another enjoyable episode. I like Damon Wayans' replacement. He should fit in well.

My wife watches this and just laughs and laughs. She loves it. For me, it's watchable and funny, but the overall story needs to start hitting on all cylinders soon. It has a chance to be a special show.
