20th Century Fox’s popular sitcom New Girl premiered September 20, 2011, and concluded its 7-season run on May 15, 2018, with the release of its finale titled “Engram Pattersky.”
New Girl is a sitcom about the struggles of being a thirty-something in post-recession America, the desire for an extended adolescence, and the fantasy of the adorable hipster girl. New Girl focuses on the almost-adulthood period between the time after college and before settling down with spouses and kids, when your friends are your whole world. There have been other sitcoms with a similar theme, like Friends and How I Met Your Mother, but since New Girl premiered three years after the financial crash of 2008, it became a product of its post-recession time.
For example, while the Friends gang thrives in their careers no matter how much time they spend at Central Perk, the New Girl gang flounders in their careers for much longer, and they don’t necessarily end up in high-powered lucrative jobs.
