Overview
- Curtis told an NBCUniversal panel that working on New Girl felt like making a movie and that single‑camera sitcoms were “silent” and “awful” for her to perform.
- She was careful to say her gripe was with the filming process, not the series itself, calling New Girl “a great show” and “very funny.”
- Curtis contrasted single‑camera work with multi‑camera sitcoms where rehearsals, live audience reaction and fixed camera setups let performers refine jokes in real time.
- The actor has returned to the multi‑camera format as a creator and executive producer with a recurring role on NBC’s Newlyweds, which is set to premiere this fall.
- The comments add context to ongoing New Girl revival chatter by highlighting how production style affects performers and why Curtis pursued a project that restores the live‑audience sitcom workflow.
