'New Girl' summer kicks off with creator Liz Meriwether's 'essential summer episodes' list

LOS ANGELES -- "Hey girl, whatcha' doing?"

It's a "New Girl" summer on Hulu, and that means it's time to start another rewatch!

Known for its quirky humor, lovable characters and endearing friendships, "New Girl" has become one of those cult classic TV shows where episodes just never seem to get old.

The series stars Zooey Deschanel as Jess, an eccentric teacher who moves into an LA loft with three male roommates, Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Winston (Lamorne Morris). The roommates are joined by Jess's best friend Cece (Hannah Simone) and their former roommate, Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.). From career choices, to romantic partners and general hijinks, the friend group navigates life in their 20s and 30s.

14 years later, the sitcom is still as funny, and often heartwarming, as ever.

Creator Liz Meriwether has curated a list of her essential summer episodes, which can be found below.
