I'm surprised the ratings aren't a little higher for "The Mindy Project" - with a lot of the crap out there, "The Mindy Project" is refreshingly quite funny. The characters are quirky, and I have a smile on my face pretty much the whole time I am watching the show. It's a nice break from all the drama filled teenage/girls/vampire shows that seem to be all the rave right now.

This a light fun filled comedy, that i'd compare to "Parks and Rec" and "The Office." So if you like those shows then you'll probably like this one as well.

It's about a young doctor who is living similar lives to many woman in their earlier 30's. Can't find someone to settle down with but has a career and a nice friend base at her office. She's surrounded by characters who are mostly in the same boat as her.

The show is fast paced and filed with nutty dialogue and makes for a perfect show to watch during lunch, or if you need a break from hectic life.

Ma', Ma', MAAA'... I'm at season three at Danny's character is so off-putting. I hope this changes until the end of the show because they ruined a perfectly good thing and Mindy's acceptance of such a person is totally off her brand (at least the one which was established in first two seasons). Also his hypocritical catholic moral vertical which he doesn't live by is annoying.

"Oh Nellie" is irritating and "exqueeze me" is not a great catch phrase.

That's it, that's the rant. Pardon, review.

Supporting characters are great. And "first off all, how dare you" is a nice reminder why we love Mindy. :) But she dropped the ball here.

Mindy Kaling delivers big time on this hilarious new show about being successful, ridiculous, and slightly awkward in a lovable way. This show is about Kaling, an OBGYN doctor who is balancing her path to finding love with work and is not afraid of being her funny self along the way. The first episode drew me in not only because of the witty banter between Mindy and her inevitable love interest but also because she is in essence every girl. Her love of romantic comedies and hope for these ideals to mirror her real life is fun to watch! This brown sugar also has an amazing cast of handsome co workers that make for some pretty good eye candy! This show is smart and witty and has plenty of laugh out loud moments! I hope that you all love this one!

I love it! I watched the pilot on a flight and instantly knew I needed to watch more. I think the banter and jokes are really great. It's been a while where I laugh out loud. The character is strong but that is what I love about it as she is witty, smart, appears to be insecure but is actually confident and just rolling with the punches.

Usually, the first year of a series is awkward but I loved it from episode one. Can't wait for the next ones! It's great to finally see a show with a woman comedian - they do exist! It is a refreshing take on a topic with jokes that are snide remarks. So if you are not paying attention, you'll miss them.

The side characters can be funny, especially Ike Barinholtz's character, but essentially if you don't think you can grow to love Mindy as the flawed and often self-centred protagonist (basically a more developed "Kelly" from the Office) you probably won't enjoy this show.

I really loved the 3 first seasons. But then something happened, Mindys friendships got less and less space (what happened to her best friend???) and it was just som dude, some guy, bla bla. I watched every season, just because of lojalty, but I must say that the last seasons just wasnt that funny :(

This show has me cracking up from the first minute to the last. Mindy's character is so funny, and best of all, relatable! She makes the dating game struggle so much more funny and light- hearted, and its a good reminder to not take things too seriously in life. I love the rest of the cast- Morgan is great- and I think Mindy and Danny have good chemistry. This show is so fresh and funny in completely new ways. Mindy really brings something irreplacable to the humor.

I was also shocked that the ratings weren't higher- but then I looked at the stats for the ratings, and men constantly rated it lower and women rated it much higher. That's fine, I'm not worried, just look at sex and the city. You don't need a male following at all to be a wildly successful show. I can't wait for season 2!

The pilot episode had a few laughs but was underwhelming. That has changed with episode two where all the actors seems to have found their footing and the episode was very funny. Mindy's writing is sharp and if you like the humour on the Office, you should like this new series as well.

The supporting cast is pretty good as well, particularly Chris Messina whose susceptibility to irritation blends well with non stop chatter that is Mindy. There are swipes at the overemphasis of being politically correct in the workplace (just like in the Office), which makes for witty lines.

I must admit, when I originally started to watch the show I had low expectations. Mainly because though I'd previously enjoyed Mindy Kaling's portrayal of Kelly Kapoor on The Office (US), I'd seen characters who are hilarious in supporting roles not be able to translate that humor into an entire show based around them as the lead character... I'm looking at you cast of Seinfeld. However, I was pleasantly surprised to be completely wrong in this case.

This really is a great show that doesn't take itself to seriously. Also, I thoroughly enjoy the soundtrack. But the dialogue is where it's at... I'm actively working to make my friends converts for the show so I can start quoting it more... "We get it, you're smarter than us because you read the newspaper" -- it's like Mindy read my mind, people who read the news are just the worst, surpassed only by morning people.

Lets start off with the cast. Everyone likes eye candy in a show and well this show won't have the likes that you see in CSI or Grey's anatomy. But its cast is strong, the characters are quirky and you grow attached to them.

The story is mostly one episode, one gig type but there is an internal connection between all the episodes, the best part is that no matter what mood you're in, happy, sad, angry...the Mindy project can always make you chuckle if not outright laugh.

There's a consistency about this show, it doesn't let you down. If you're a man this probably isn't your cup of tea but if you're a woman or even a girl this show is FUN and agreeable, i mean lets face it, we all are out there looking for the perfect guy while juggling our ambition! Give it a try beyond the pilot and you'll know what i mean.

This is my first review by the way, just for you Mindy!

I love this show! It's really well-written and super funny. I'm also a huge fan of her from the Office and her book was awesome( seriously if you haven't read it you should!). She's really funny and easy to relate too,like I want to be her best friend. The cast is really cool and they works so well together, especially in the cameos. The plot isn't too dense, but there always a plot to follow each episode and a possible office romance. Not sure which character is my favorite yet because I love them all so much. It's a quirky show but easy to relate to because of Mindy's experiences throughout the season between boyfriends, her job and random opinions on things!

It started off well...a little bit over the top...but a good story structure in the background...

until it hit a bump and never recovered...and it was soooo sooo bad...

the male nurse guy is overdone...what is it with comedy and the dumb character....don't stretch it...it stops being comedy...

I loved Mindy Khaling. She is the perfect blend of charm and neurosis. This show is the perfect vehicle for her and I really hope it stays on TV because I think it has real potential.

It's a very good ensemble cast, especially with the latest addition of the new nurse who is an ex con. He's hilarious.

This show is funny and quirky similar to nurse Jackie. I know there are a billion channels nowadays with cable, .....these shows have to fight to find their audience. It's not a chick show either. I think it can be appealing to men and women. She's sort of a chubby Carrie Bradshaw. I'm rooting for Mindy because it's just plain fun.

I would enjoy this show more if Mindy wasn't a doctor. She often portrays Mindy as a silly lovesick teenager. Very immature but witty at the same time. Doctors do not act this vapid. If they do I don't want them to be my doctor. There are some funny lines and it's light and brainless. Maybe this was supposed to be in the same vein as Scrubs. I soon found the character to be annoying. I like Mindy Kaling. She was terrific as Kelly in The Office playing a desperate man hungry girl/woman. This character seems an extension of Kelly with the unlikely premise that Kelly could actually make it through med school.

Mindy is funny and relatable. The show takes its ups and downs as does Mindy but that is how life is. Life is messy and relationships can be messy. The Mindy Project gets that. The last episode just really tied it all in and I loved it. I cried during the last episode..... watch it start to finish and you won't be disappointed.

Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) is a single gal in the city. She's an OBGYN doctor in a Manhattan practice with Danny Castellano (Chris Messina), Jeremy Reed (Ed Weeks) and later Peter Prentice (Adam Pally). Morgan Tookers (Ike Barinholtz), Beverly (Beth Grant), Betsy Putch (Zoe Jarman) and Tamra (Xosha Roquemore) are the nurses.

With Mindy Kaling coming off of her memorable role in The Office, I was expecting something much better than the usual network fare. She has a few interesting takes but this is mostly the regular single-gal-in-the-city show. The most outrageous thing here is that she's a minority actor in the lead of a regular show. She doesn't really play up that fact. Other than a brother, her family aspect isn't used much. She plays up her chubbiness more than her ethnicity. Mindy does struggle from time to time to find the flow. Her revolving door of relationships does leave me scratching my head a little. However that happens in single gal shows all the time. My minor complaint is that this is not as daring as I hoped but it is still very good with excellent writing. After 3 seasons, it gets canceled by Fox but the show gets a second life elsewhere.
