Devils advocate:

I would say I'm mostly depressed, real or staged. From the looks of that video I now feel as though I've never kissed or been kissed in my entire life.

TIL that a lot of people are very passionate about The Mind Project. Who knew? As for me, I watch the show but don't actually like it very much. One pro, it doesn't have a laugh track, which is exactly what drives me crazy about shows like Big Bang Theory and HIMYM. That and the fact that both of these are terrible…

I think that the point of Mindy's character is that she is book smart, but generally not so smart in other areas. I like that she breaks stereotypes about people who are good at their careers automatically having all of their shit together.

He was Steff. Andrew McCarthy was Blane. Both were ridiculously asshole names. Annie Potts was incredible as was Jon Cryer. Damn, I think I need to watch this again for the umpteenth time.

Fuck it, I'm just going to go mainline half-and-half and die happy.

I'm with you. I've tried to watch a number of episode in hopes they get better, but they don't. I don't mind the flirting or trying to chase boys. But, I cannot deal with her character being completely self-involved, self-absorbed, and so into herself with no introspection or growth from it. Mindy is amazing and…

Because she acts stupid and uninterested in anything BUT boys and pop culture?

Why do you think her character is vapid? Because she's a single, young female living in NYC and is a little boy crazy? Meh, girl wants a little lovin'. It's not like she walks around talking like a valley girl and shops all day.

THIS. I love the fact that yeah, of course she's educated and they've shown she's very competent at her job. But that doesn't automatically make her a nice or psychologically deep person. There's nothing wrong with her obsessing about her social lifem and her being a doctor isn't mutually exclusive with her being a…

Yes- I realized a while ago that if the lead were anyone but MK there's no way I'd still be watching. And I stopped.

I agree with you completely! The fact that she only dates white guys and all her coworkers are white guys just makes this show like everything else on TV. I was expecting something smart and witty. I might have appreciated this when I was 13

Or maybe, like most other humans, some doctors are awesome, kind, brilliant people, some really suck, and some fall somewhere between.

All the doctors I know are incredible women who love to party.

Very true, spent too much time studying human anatomy and physiology that they rarely made any time for culture and social justice interests. Often end up being hyper-materialistic to fill the void. I've known too many MDs...

vapid shallow girl is the only character mindy can write. herself.

THIS!! A million times, this!

Nope. I wanted SO BADLY to love it, but it lost me in season one. It's just.... not funny to me. Which is fine and subjective I guess, and maybe it's gotten better since then? But I just couldn't stand it honestly.

Am I the only one here that wants to desperately love this show but can't? The show is so ridiculous sometimes and not a lot of character development happens with anyone other than Mindy.

The Scandal parody was so funny, but they did not address my number one question about the show: HOW DO THOSE FREAKING PICTURES STICK ON THE WALL?
