The last episode of New Girl that I watched had the truest relationship between women I have seen on TV for as long as I remember. I laughed in recognition of how a women really insults another women, in a subtle way that men think is a complement. How sometimes we just don’t get along because we think we have nothing in common, but really, we are more like each other than we will ever know. Dessert person or not.

Some of the press has been quite unfair to Jess, Zooey Deschanel’s character, for being ditzy and different. And I am not quite sure why. It is an actress in a lead role with her own TV show. She is not playing someone’s girlfriend or mother. She may be a kooky and different, but I have friends like Jess. She’s an endearing character who, granted, can be a bit annoying sometimes. But she cares about people, she is loyal to her friends, she is a good person. So to all of the people who think she is a bad role model I say; screw ’em.
