The pilot starts the story with Jessica "Jess" Day (played by Zooey Deschanel),
a bubbly, offbeat, adorable, eccentric woman in her late 20s who
teaches at a local elementary school. On a trip back from another city,
she prepared a surprise for her boyfriend. She then caught him cheating
in their house. She is determined to move on from her unfortunate
relationship. Jess moves out and starts looking for a new place. She saw
an ad on Craigslist, where she meets and moves in with three young men:
Nick, Schmidt, and Coach.
Nick is a bartender, who is originally from Chicago. Before he became
a bartender, he once had big plans for his future. At one point, he
wanted to be a lawyer. He then stopped caring along the way and dropped
out of law school. He has always wanted to be among "the rich ones".
Ironically, he is the poorest guy among all the roommates.
Schmidt is a young white-collar professional and a womanizer who
fancies himself as the wishful, modern-day Casanova. He is madly in love
with himself, and also happens to have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
He often schemes to climb the social ladder and is driven by his
obsessive urge of becoming "the center".
He views Jess as the elusive female mind. Also, he wants to get close
to Jess's model friend, Cece. Schmidt often makes his roommates mad and
disgusted due to his unexpectedly despicable behavior. Nevertheless,
they are good friends.
Winston is a former basketball player who happens to be Nick's best
friend from childhood. Winston was originally the fourth roommate living
in the loft. After Coach Damon Wayans, Jr.,
a personal trainer with rage issues, left the apartment, Winston moved
back in. Winston is intensely competitive and never knows what to do
next.
Whatever he does, he wants to win. He was a point guard in the Latvian
Basketball League. He is currently a "part-time Nanny" employed by
Schmidt's boss, whom he met at a company party. Winston loves his life
and lives it to the fullest, but his ambitions somehow get in his way.
Jess's best childhood friend is Cece. She is a street-smart model.
Cece is a diva and gets lots of attention from guys. She falls for
"good-looking but not-so-smart" guys. She values her friendship with
Jess and always supports her, no matter what. She has had a few
breakups. After a few "booty calls" with Schmidt, she starts to develop
feelings for him. In the 22nd episode, she finally admits her feelings
to Schmidt. The season ended with a question mark on Cece and Schmidt's
relationship.
