10 People Mad SOTU Preempted 'New Girl'

Michelle Obama might have bangs now, but she's still no Zooey Deschanel.

Barack Obama's State of the Union address takes over network television Tuesday, preempting shows like Fox's New Girl. The POTUS' SOTU seizing of the airwaves hasn't pleased fans of the show on Twitter.

1. not only are we paying higher taxes, but there is also no "new girl" tonight because of Obama. #political #protest #fb— Vanita (@vanitajoines) February 13, 2013

2. Why Obama... I mean the state of the Union is making me miss New Girl and the Mindy project. #notcoolobamanotcool— Leslie Hales (@LeslieHales) February 13, 2013

3. Seriously Obama no New Girl cause of you!??? Just one more reason on my list of why I don't like you.— Landon Jones (@landonjones95) February 12, 2013

4. It's NOT okay that New Girl is cancelled due to State of the Union. I know the State of it, and don't really want to be further reminded.— Harmony Felts (@harmonyfelts) February 13, 2013

5. Fucking State of The Union Address has robbed me of a new episode of New Girl! DAMN YOU POLITICS!!— Amanda (@SpearsAloud) February 12, 2013

6. What if I already am quite aware of the current state of our union and just want to watch New Girl? #notcoolObama #giveusSchmidt— Annalise Price (@annalise_price) February 13, 2013

7. Since #SOTU is on when New Girl normally airs, can we replace the reaction shots from Congressmen with Zooey Deschanel making goofy looks?— Evan Hershman (@evanhershman) February 12, 2013

8. AGH. State of the Union is showing instead of New Girl! They need to dedicate a single station for political matters.... NOT 6 channels!!!— Cynthia Soliz (@cornpuff5) February 13, 2013

9. No. This is dumb the state of the union address is not more important than new girl. #whataretheythinking #dayjustgotworse #newgirl #wah— Jessica Rae(@JessDiLorenzo3) February 13, 2013

10. but really who cares about the state of the union when new girl is on tonight #sorrynotsorry— Jillian Singer (@justJILLen25) February 13, 2013

Hold back your outrage, everyone -- you can still avoid all this political chatter by watching Dance Moms on Lifetime. Barry knows not to mess with Miss Abby.
