Having just broadcast three episodes, “New Girl” will be off the air until November. FOX has changed its October schedule to expand “The X Factor (US)” from ninety minutes to two hours, leading to three-week absence of the new favorite comedy series.

The first original episode to be shelved is a Wednesday special “Cece Crashes” which was planned to air on October 12. “Naked”, which was supposed to air on October 18, is also pulled out of the line-up, while the network had previously decided to pre-empt the October 25 episode of “New Girl” for the new reality show from Simon Cowell.

“New Girl” recently added another actress to the cast ensemble. Former “Party Down” star Lizzy Caplan has been booked for a three-episode arc to play Julia Baker, a love interest for Jake Johnson’s Nick. She is described as a highly educated young woman with a master’s degree in art history and a highly cultured manner.

Looks like it’s not so bad being the new girl.

Fox just announced it has ordered an additional 11 episodes of its freshman comedy, New Girl, bringing the full order to 24 episodes.

The Zooey Deschanel show, which premiered last week and was Fox’s highest-rated sitcom debut ever, held up this week in the ratings, retaining 92 percent of its premiere audience. It also earned an impressive 5.2 rating in the all-important 18-34 demographic.

I’ve added HD captures of last night’s episode of “New Girl” 1×02 Kryptonite. I also added HD captures from the new opening credits. I’m guessing the opening credits changed because there was a recast on the show. “Coach” who was in the pilot isn’t in the show anymore & the new character is named “Winston”. Also, the show got great ratings again last night: “The New Girl” posted a strong 4.4/11 in the prized 18-49 demographic and 9.3 million total viewers (Source).

I’ve also added episode stills from 1×03 Naked and some Behind the Scenes photos. Previews and gallery links are below:

           

Fox may have found its newest hit.

Zooey Deschanel’s quirky half-hour comedy New Girl, debuting after the season premiere of Glee, delivered at 9 p.m. — outperforming its lead-in in both total viewers and the adults 18-49 demographic.

Drawing 10.1 million total viewers and a 4.8 rating in the ad-coveted demo, New Girl was the highest-rated show on broadcast during primetime. The comedy was up drastically (specifically 55 percent) from the debut of Raising Hope, when it premiered in the time slot last fall. Raising Hope opened its second season with solid numbers compared to last year’s comparable time period performance, drawing 6.8 million and a 3.1.
