No word yet on how they feel about making $0.70 for every dollar they used to make.įor Lost fans worried that Alcatraz will miss the appeal of the uncharted jungle, this drama is about a wildlife expert who goes missing in the Amazon, and the crew of family and friends who set out to find him. Trying to channel Bosom Buddies, this sitcom is about two guys who - for reasons not yet clear to me - need to cross-dress as women to find jobs. Singing and dancing comes courtesy of American Idol contestant Katharine McPhee, who plays the wide-eyed ingénue. Taking a run at musical shows like Glee, Smash is a fictional series about putting together a new Broadway show from scratch. Also, the killer hasn’t aged a day in decades. In this series, a SFPD officer investigates a supposedly-dead inmate from the famed Alcatraz prison - only to find that the killer had escaped, killed again, is still walking the streets… and the whole thing’s been covered up. Abrams, executive producer of Lost, tries tying your mind into knots once again. (Hopefully, the next Schmidt is lurking somewhere in there.) Here are some shows that debut throughout the next month. The new year also brings some new network premieres. Ridiculous idiots hailing from Westchester? I love it! I hope there are more in the pipeline. I think it kind of just dawned on everybody once we saw that outfit, that it was like, ‘Oh, he’s that guy. At first read, he was a little bit more like Vince Vaughn-y cool… But then we did the pilot and we were doing wardrobe fittings we put on an outfit that I was supposed to wear to the cowboy party, and it was so ridiculous and I looked so unbelievably weird in it. (He plays Schmidt - the one who has to keep putting money in the d-bag jar because he can’t help how lame he is.) Here’s how he described his character to New York’s Vulture: “The original conception of the character was maybe a little cooler than he’s turned out to be. This makes me happy because one of its stars, Max Greenfield, is a Dobbs Ferry native. New Girl Season 7 premieres Tuesday, April 10 at 9:30/8:30c.One of the biggest successes of the fall TV season is Fox’s New Girl. No one needs Schmidt to talk about Paul Ryan, so he won't. Watching New Girl is a way for liberals to escape politics for a little while. It doesn't have to say its politics aloud to be clear about what they are. Its target audience of women 18-34 leans strongly Democratic, and with its diverse cast, nontraditional family structure and urban setting it just feels like a show for liberals the same way that Shooter feels like a show for conservatives. And it's not like New Girl needs to explicitly talk politics to make its sensibility evident. And he thinks a show like New Girl leaning into politics "feels like a stretch." He also says that there was some concern about the equal-time rule after the Clinton-endorsing episode and they figured it was better to not do anything that would make them think about FCC political regulations. "I just imagine him running at some point and them playing that clip and me being like 'oh f-.'" He says they stayed away from Schmidt's politics in the final eight episodes of the show. "It may be an episode that I regret," Greenfield told TV Guide at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. ![]() Schmidt is a likable guy, but he's a lot less likable if he stumps for a heartless austerity hawk who's a staunch supporter of the incumbent President. But Season 7 is jumping forward in time three years, and " Ryan 2020" is kind of an awkward albatross around Schmidt's neck. It was a well-meaning workaround back when it didn't seem like Trump was going to win. In a 2016 episode, Jess ( Zooey Deschanel) and Schmidt's wife Cece ( Hannah Simone) campaigned for Hillary Clinton, while Schmidt supported Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for president, refusing to even acknowledge Trump's candidacy. New Girl doesn't really do political humor, but its cast and crew are vocal supporters of Democratic causes and put their politics into the show. Schmidt's politics are a tough fit for New Girl in 2018, though. A comic character's political affiliation didn't seem so significant when the country was less polarized and before Republicans elected Donald Trump. And when New Girl premiered in 2011, things were - for lack of a better word - less insane. You forget that he's a Republican, and then he reminds you with a weird belief this otherwise progressive man shouldn't have. The characterization was originally supposed to just be something for Schmidt to surprise viewers with every now and then. A running joke throughout New Girl is that Schmidt ( Max Greenfield) is a Republican. ![]()
