Well after going through a series of minor personal crises (i..e having near fatal mono) and not having time for much TV or writing, I’m baaaaack. Here we go!
The latest show I’m obsessed with is The Mindy Project (Tuesdays, 9:30 PM on Fox). It is loosely based on Mindy Kaling’s life as a nerdy, romantic comedy obsessed high school girl who only starts to only explore relationships and romance in her early twenties, and continues to do so in her early thirties. So basically this is a show about me, except I’m still nerdy and obsessed with romantic comedies.
Mindy Kaling (you probably know her from The Office as Kelly Kapoor) is one of my favorite actresses. I read her book (Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?) last year and LOVED it- seriously: go read it right now. For some reason I wasn’t even aware she had a show until I started hysterically crying saying goodbye to my sister as she was leaving for college and she said I should start watching The Mindy Project to make me feel better. And what do you know, it did! The supporting characters are hilarious, the writing is spot on, and it’s just one of those shows that makes you feel cuddly and warm inside. Avoid the post-holiday blues by cozying up to the fire and watching some Mindy.
