I mostly watch the show so I can be amused by the plot holes.

It's the show's biggest flaw. It's undoubtedly funny at times, but it's completely inconsistent (and I don't really think they care). There's just way too much jumping around to suit whatever whims they want for a scene. It makes it hard to get invested in the characters much beyond something that's in the background…

She did. Some of the Mindy Project writers noticed and are making fun of it (in the comments on one of Tracey Wigfield's Instagram photos):

100% agree. People remember "Casino Night" for the big Jim and Pam ending, but it was also a really, really funny episode that used the whole ensemble well. The Michael-with-two-dates (and Dwight as wingman) was amazing.

Ike Barinholtz is also a writer for the show, which would at least partially explain why he's featured so much.

I think that puts it perfectly. You can't have 30-Rock-style zaniness and Office/Parks-and-Rec-style pathos rolled together. I'm happy to laugh at the jokes on this show, but they can't expect me to be deeply invested in what actually happens to the characters.

No problem at all. And I totally agree — the show is a perfectly pleasant watch and I usually get a few good laughs each week. But that's about all, despite how much I *want* to love it.

I already admitted to being overly petty in this instance.

I know this probably seems like a minor thing, but the idea of a fellow living in a dorm room on the college's campus is kind of dumb and took me out of the episode. Also, why was Mindy — an OB/GYN — treating her professor after he was mowed down by a car? I feel like every episode has these types of weird moments.
