The Mindy Project deserved more recognition... she was snubbed by all the major awards guilds and Emmys for 6 seasons... I don’t think people wanted her to succeed. She’s so smart and funny, and her comedy is very accessible. Hope she gets love for Never Have I Ever...

@kymberlimoor5274 4 жыл бұрын

I would rather longevity than the awards honestly. So many shows dont get 6 seasons

@user-ey2qv1xk9u 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. She was and is a threat. She will continue to be successful in many ways. Who cares about these stupid awards.

Please bring back The Mindy Project. If so many shows that are not nearly as good are on then The Mindy Project deserves to come back. In fact I saw so many possible storylines. Even the show itself could go in many directions. The character development was amazing, the comedy writing hilarious & overall just a joy to watch. I don't understand. I bet eventually they will realize how bad her new show "Champions" is & wish they continued The Mindy Project. It could go another 6 seasons at least.

The first two seasons of the show were the best in my opinion. It was authentic yet quirky and we got that side of Mindy we were introduced to in The Office. I feel like after Danny (Chris Messina) left, the show took an unexpected turn and it hasn't been the same since. I hope the ending has the touch we once fell in love with.

@tamia314 6 жыл бұрын

imaqinedraqons I agree. It was the chemistry between Mindy and Chris Messina that got me hooked on the show to begin with. Even though I hated the way Danny was written out of the show, I still love when he pops up in an episode!

Exactly! I really hope he makes an appearance in the last episode or something. If not, i just want it to end on a familiar note.

Mindy is one-of-a-kind. Excited to see her success continue to rise. Just wish she would stop lightening her face. She used to be quite dark on The Office, now she's this pasty dull brown color. I guess what ever makes her happy and but she's smart enough to know that its her talent that gets her noticed. Not her skin tone. Oh well.

Enough with the sexist aproach! What do you mean 'her next project is maternity'?? Are you serious?? If it were a guy you wouldn't even mention he was expecting a child. And the other guy at the end, "I'm sure she will be a great mom" what?????? OK first, how on earth would she not be? But more importantly, why would you even question that? Again, would you say that about a man in this context?
