Fall TV Comedies: All-New Shows - "New Girl" (Fox)

WARNING: This content can be blunt, and I can only claim that these reviews reflect MY opinions.

"New Girl" (Fox):
I enjoyed the pilot (and Damon Wayans Jr. was in the pilot before leaving the show since ABC's "Happy Endings" was renewed for this season, and I think he was funnier on "Girl" than on "Endings"). However, something felt a little off in the second episode and I haven't watched again but might pick up later. The cast mostly seem to be talented actors, but Zooey Deschanel carries this show. At first, I didn't think she was "that girl" like everyone says, but her quirkiness and cute charm grow on me and to me she's more beautiful for it. Plus she's an incredibly talented singer. The show itself, I feel, can really grow into the next funny, quirky sensation. I've just been watching all the other pilots and a few syndicated reruns, too, so I had to drop this one for now. But I can get on Hulu and watch the episodes online at the library and catch up to it. I'm not hooked yet, but it could happen.

Writing for the media

People get their news through forms of media such as television, newspapers and the Web. The journalists at these media outlets have different writing styles they have to use. Writers and editors working for newspapers, television stations and radio stations have to conform to Associated Press style. There are certain rules that AP style users are required to follow, such as spelling out the numbers one through nine, using numeric figures for numbers 10 and above, and using the word "an" in front of words that sound like they begin with a vowel ("It's an honor"). Knowing this writing style is important in the journalism world.  

Happy Thanksgiving

Today I am going to work to make some extra money. Then I will have the night with the family, food, and television-three American favorites! I hope that you all have a good one and make the most of it!
