The funniest new show from last season returned last week with two episodes and it is airing its third episode of its second season tonight. The headliner of Fox’s newly minted Tuesday Comedy Block, it is by far the strongest of the shows. Featuring an excellent cast that includes standout weekly performances from Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, and Zooey Deschanel, New Girl is a show that Fox deserves to be proud of. Judging by the preview for this week’s episode, I’m sure it will be another excellent episode, filled to the brim with well deserved laughs. It is a show that I make an effort to watch live on Tuesdays.

Official Description, “Fluffer”: Jess and Nick examine their friendship. Elsewhere, Schmidt hopes to impress an attractive Republican by pretending to be one of Mitt Romney’s sons.

The new episode of New Girl airs tonight at 9pm on FOX. Also new tonight…
