Well, whaddaya know? New Girl screws around with the standard formula, and suddenly comes away with a stronger episode! Jess has sadly been called away for jury duty — a.k.a. Zooey Deschanel's maternity leave — which we learn more about thanks to a news clip on the "Celebrity Chef trial" and a great courtroom sketch of the "annoyingly inquisitive" jury. Her absence opens up space for the other characters, introducing a new dynamic between them, and the results are encouraging. All that, plus a very creepy Fred Armisen, makes for a satisfying New Girl experience.

When New Girl debuted back in 2011, it was promoted as a starring vehicle for Zooey Deschanel, with the rest of the show’s cast members playing supporting roles in whatever Jess’ big story was each week. That format stuck for the first half of New Girl‘s first season, but by the end of Season 1, the sitcom evolved into one of the best ensemble comedies on TV, utilizing the specific comedic abilities of all of its talented actors. And that’s why I wasn’t worried about how New Girl would fare when it was announced that Zooey Deschanel would be absent from a few of the show’s episodes due to her pregnancy. This is a sitcom with such a deep, charismatic cast and such funny and rich characters that the writers would be able to come up with strong stories that weren’t weakened by Jess’ lack of involvement, and that’s exactly what “No Girl” delivered.
