New Girl: Great Just Got Greater
New Girl has been great. It came out of the blocks with maybe a little too much Zooey Deschanel playing unassuming and unaware, but it quickly adjusted and spotlighted the hilarious ensemble of guys on the show. The result is hilariousness. But for those who have been watching from the beginning, they also remember a keystone to that male ensemble, by the name of Damon Wayans Jr. Now at first Lamorne Morris, aka Winston, seemed...
