An open plea to the writers of FOX’s ‘New Girl.’

First off, let me just say, good work.

I only started watching 72 hours ago and am already catlady-level crazy about the show. I’ve watched every episode at least four times and even begun frequenting other blogs for news and updates. Yeah, I’m that guy.

This is largely due to the will they/won’t they couple of Nick and Jess, hailed as the “Ross and Rachel” of our time. Their onscreen chemistry has been painfully palpable since the pilot, and with every teasing glance and lopsided smile, you’ve drawn me further into your unrequited television hell.

But I’m fine with that. Honestly, I am. In fact, I encourage you to draw out the torture for as long as you’d like. There’s only one condition: they have to end up together.

I saw in some interview you admitted you’d let these two characters come together, but – and I write this whilst squeezing my eyes shut in absolute anguish – that they’d settle down with other people.

Unacceptable.

I know that as a lowly fangirl, I do not hold much sway. After all, it’s a business and the almighty dollar has final vote. So I will try to convince you not from the heart, but from the wallet.

Let Jess and Nick stay together. They can break up and make up as many times as you’d like to rile up your ratings, but let these two kids make it in this crazy, mixed up world. And if you do, I promise to buy every season on iTunes with all the silly behind-the-scenes bloopers and any soundtracks you choose to release. I will buy a “Nick + Jess 4 Eva” tee if that’s what it takes, I don’t care. Just don’t break them up.

I know one person’s promise might not mean much, but I bet I’m not the only viewer who feels this way. So listen to your audience, FOX, and thanks again for the cool show.
