anybody watch last night? thought it was pretty funny, and the Bill Hader & Ed Helms guest spots were fun. wasn't sure going in if Kaling could carry her own show but the storyline suits her brand of humor and goofy charm pretty well so I think it works. I'm on board.

There was something weird going on with the sound, though. All the dialogue sounded like her voiceover. Maybe a pilot problem? I don't know how these things work, but it was pretty funny.

I didn't notice that with the sound, although I probably wasn't paying enough attention to those details to tell.

It's hard to describe, but it seemed like they had to re-dub a lot of the dialogue or something. It wasn't a big deal. The jokes still worked, but it was a little distracting to me.

she's just funny to me anyway

It's a pilot so no real foul, but it felt like they were working too hard to introduce everyone. Hopefully the scripts will tighten up.

My only real gripe is that it pains me to see a woman that thick and brown only throwing it to white dudes. They can't handle that.

One other thing...Bill Hader's character saying he wanted someone with more years to give...Mindy is 31 in the pilot...since when is that old?

but yeah I'm sure the scripts will become more focused along specific storylines moving forward.

Apparently Michael Fassbender could - LOL. But I mean it's a network show so what to you expect. Although on The Office she dated Darryl for a bit and ended up choosing Ravi over Ryan, so keep hope alive!

yeah but when he denied saying it at first and then she corrected it and he was like "...yes, I did say that", shit had me dying.

Where's she's like, "You need to choose right now. You daughter or me-"

and dude says, "Daughter" before she even finishes the sentence.

I will say this though, when she told homegirl's daughter that she was boring I almost spit out my drink, just because I've always wanted to say that to a little kid.

We out here trying to function.

because it doesn't allow for the full thought or sentiment to get out before the other person is already responding. Shaky timing?

I kinda like that her character is messy and confused.

Like that fat joke took it from regular sitcom cracks to like "damn" that's some real ish.

Dug it.

Because I just found Kelly annoying and therefore am put of by Kaling in general.

smarter than Kelly but still kinda ditzy and overdramatic although not an airhead, and with a sharper attitude. but if you just found Kelly annoying and are put off by Kaling in general then doubt that you'll enjoy this show.

I figured though, that since she was a writer for The Office, a show that I genuinely enjoyed despite not liking her character, I should at least get some opinions on the show.

I laughed more than I usually do at sitcom pilots. I thought the main character was funny but not sure what to make of the two male leads. I'm in on Mindy Kaling though so I'll probably stay in on this show for a while.

Mindy was great.

The dudes were pretty lame.

It's a strange world when Nard Dog and Bill Hader are seen as dreamy dudes though.

But whatever, I'm in.

style thing The Office does, but I liked this, especially the first half

>Indian women" no, it aint...

Folks are saying it hasn't found it's rhythm but I would say that she is avoiding the cliches of similar shows.

For instance, I love that her sports agent love interest isn't a total douchebag but is a right mix of douche bag and sweet to make him a real character. It's kind of cool that a few episodes in we still can't tell if he is a real long term love interest or just one of the d-bags that girls in the city date.

I'm still watching tho.

But like I said, there needs to be more for the other characters to do, rather than go on madcap adventures to Mindy's house to find an expensive watch or visit the cornpone girl's cornpone parents...

Bitch, don't kill my vibe.

...Ben & Kate is....and I actually found I really like the show more than I thought i would

....she was bought to hurt my feelings with her facial expressions as Schmidt was talking about his "game plan"

I was pleased

They still don't seem to be any closer to figuring out the tone here.

ifn she pregnant like I was guessing with all that puking.

Still too much material to be had from her being single.

but like I said it'd put them in a corner... I'm kind of curious cause last night every second advertisement during the breaks was for catholicscomehome.org
