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.

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.

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

yeah that line killed me too. what else she say, "you're not contributing anything" or something like that? LOL
12. "she's basically a smarter, sharper version of Kelly" In response to Reply # 10
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.
14. "That's about what I figured." In response to Reply # 12
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.
23. "really? I cant take this shit" In response to Reply # 22
i love she. and the comedic voice I associate with her...but I cant do this show no more... "its a fact that black men love 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.

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...

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
