"Literally, reading the pilot script, I was laughing out loud, having such a good time. Every time we rehearse, I have a great time because the writing is so good," Deschanel says. "I felt like they don't make as many movies now as they used to. I know there's just been a huge change in the movie industry, and I don't know if I've ever read a role this good for myself. So I just had to jump on this opportunity because it's an amazing one. And if there's any character I want to play forever and ever and ever, it's this one. So I'm psyched."
"New Girl" launches Tuesday night.
Part of the reason Deschanel's so psyched is that not only does she get to play a fun comedy character, the new girl has a tendency to break into song. Along with her acting work, Deschanel has a musical career that includes writing music for the recent feature film "Winnie the Pooh."
Her character, Jess, uses music in a very different way.
"It's just part of how she expresses herself" Deschanel says. "When there's an awkward moment, she sings. We kind of play with it, like she likes to kind of sort of sing in different styles depending upon her mood and the moment: Ethel Merman, jazz standard, heavy metal."

Poppy Montgomery will never forget actress Marilu Henner - a consultant for the new CBS drama "Unforgettable," which also premieres Tuesday night.
"Unforgettable" was spawned by Henner's ability to remember everything that's happened to her. She's one of six people in the world diagnosed with Superior Autobiographical Memory.
That kind of mental ability proves to be a curse and blessing for Montgomery's character, Carrie Wells, as she helps solve crimes.
"I was talking to Marilu about this. She says you can sort of run across the surface of a memory, or you can choose to dive into it with this ability. So I think Carrie, a lot of times she'll run across the surface of it until she has to dive into it, and that's where it comes into play in terms of solving crimes and going into what she really saw versus what she wants to remember on the surface of things," Montgomery says.
The series has Montgomery solving cases, similar to "Without a Trace." She was willing to get back to the same type of series because the Carrie Wells character is so different - from the super memory skill to Montgomery's flaming red hair.
"I like that lone wolf kind of quality she has and the recklessness that she has," Montgomery says
