Fox's "New Girl" is one of the most promising new network shows of the year, in large part because of star Zooey Deschanel.

NEAL JUSTIN
"Inara George -- who is married to Jake Kasdan, who directed our pilot -- is in this group called the Living Sisters. I find them really soothing. When I'm writing and it's 4 in the morning, I like to hear three women singing in harmony about mountains. You'd be surprised."
