And on and on and on. JFC How many cameos did they manage to get?!

Also I may be watching too much tv and movies ahahahah

Nothing really to say except I love this show so much, every time I watch it I wish I was an OBGYN and that I had her life. It makes me want to divorce my husband and go live my best single life (jkjk, but I really do live vicariously through this show). Probably my top 3 favorite shows of all time. I wish it never ended.

I had always wanted to watch this because I do really like the case, but never got a chance to.

I had to put my beloved little cat, King, down last week and as such was looking for a funny distraction I could just get into and Netflix recommended this to me.

I loved seeing 6 seasons and like 23 episodes!

Here's just my random thoughts so far:

• I really love this main character. It's so nice to see a female lead who is so quirky, true to herself, defiant of trends, but not overly so and just so fucking hysterical. I have laughed OUT LOUD several times in this show

• The show is weird about rotating characters out! I loved her best friend and the daughter from the first few episodes and it's like they were sent to the cornfields with one, and then both receptionists

• Jeremy is WAY too hot to be so conscious

• I dont love that every one of Mindy's love interest is like an impossibly handsome clean tall white guy

• I found some of her relationships, like with the pastor, and with Danny to be really believable because it was somewhat over natural time. Others, like Cliff and Jody made no sense to me

• Morgan is criminally overused and overabused as the "lovable stupid punching bag"

• Beverly is criminally underused, her whole character is hysterical

• I hate Jody, but love Corinne

• The chemistry between Mindy, Jeremy, Danny and the crazy doctor was the peak humor for this show

• It was so weird to see other acting greats, in small parts like fucking the dude from big bang theory as a very confident and wealthy suitor, or the legend rhea Perlman as dannys mother, and the evil dude from social network as Danny's fun gay brother lol. This season it's the Mother from HOIMYM and the protaganist from the starship episode of Dark Mirror and the mean intern from Scrubs as Mindys girl besties who are a recovering coke addict hedge fund manager and sex obsessed publicist respectively lma0

• I hate that since I work in HR, I become a little judgmental of office environments and though I love these characters, they are criminally toxic and horrible to each other lol. Basically it felt like every story thread in S3 and S4 was "one character comes up with a lie, gets caught by another character and will be exposed by another character - commence antics" it got a little boring after awhile

• Mindy's writing is top caliber. Her one-liners, zingers, clapbacks and outbursts are really great writing

• That breakup scene in S3 was one of the best Ive ever seen in television and had me in tears. The montage of them sometimes fighting, sometimes getting alone, with updates that the wedding was postponed (with the registry still being active), mindys sad apologetic smile to the couples counselor and her taking what he said about fitting the armoire as a sign, and reversing it to the crib back at her old place, and her sad return "home" was so fucking sad and powerful without saying a word. I loved similarly how it continued with Danny deciding to leave the practice and the only thing it shows is him taking away his nameplate and her noticing it.

• I know its natural for these shows, especially with later seasons, but im finding myself losing patience and immersion with some of the stupider storylines, like the episode where baby Leo was going to be on TV, or yet another houseparty where Mindy has an awkward situation with suitors and at some point the dogs will be used for humor

Overall, love the series, 9.10, but looking forward to its ending so I can go back to earlier seasons where I think the quirk was on a smaller scale and led to funnier situations

Mindy is at the counter asking Shuana and Betsy to send her better patients. Betsy is holding a living turtle. Why?

The show has made me do a lot of self-reflecting as a woman, a mom, my life in a long term relationship, single life and dating life. In a way it has kind of given me the strength to make more of an effort to move in a forward direction in my life after looking back and thinking of where I want to go forward to.

But the humor is so funny that I look forward to watching it so much I'm starting to get depressed thinking about it ending.When I binge shows I end up going through them fast.. I'm sad that at some point it will be done .. it's so hard to get into the next show.. Love Mindy's humor and all the characters..

I can not stand Danny.. reminds me so much of my ex but I am fortunately wasn't a doctor so I was kind of stuck in it longer. I cried so hard when she measured the crib.

im coming to the end of S3 and i literally cannot stand danny😭 he has such an issue with mindy’s weight especially during pregnancy and it bugs me so much. i swear shes not even big? like shes got curves but is completely slim? its so bizarre to me. hes also so toxic too, just not a fan whatsoever.

Can we talk about Jody ????? Does anyone like him? Hes so sexist and I feel like Mindy adopts micro sexist ideals

Wondering about it this because—and I know there’s a lot of speculation already about Kaling and Novak’s relationship—the fight in season four about commitment made me think of them.

Can anyone help me remember which episode refers to how much stuff/items Mindy keeps/stores in her bed? It was a one line joke but I can relate and can’t remember which episode…thanks! Definitely in the first or second season

I tried finding one on Etsy, so when I couldn’t, I slapped this together to get me through for now.

Currently on Season 3. No spoilers please.

Danny Castellano. The archetype cynical lead love interest. Except, there is no redeeming to his cynicism and conservative beliefs. He's just so out of line with the entire thing of forcing Mindy to stay at home, when he couldn't even do it himself for one day. Despite her indecisiveness and superficiality, Mindy is a great doctor at the end of day and deserves and needs to go back to work if she wants to. Why can't this guy understand that? He is always pushing and shaming Mindy into acting according to his artificial standards and beliefs which is just so regressive and unacceptable. And the entire thing of scheming to sneakily get her pregnant, that was beyond vile and so deceptive. Ugh I hate this guy.

I swear this shocked me as soon as I saw it this is a 90’s hair book and the first thing that’s in my mind is “Mindy?” Please tell me I’m not crazy and this actually looks like her

I absolutely love this show. It's so comforting and I love seeing the friendships of Mindy and her coworkers. Also, it has taught me some things which I've never experienced in a fictional TV show.

I absolutely loved single Mindy and when Mindy started her fertility practice. Being a woc, it's inspiring and I loved seeing how she made it work:single motherhood, and just being an absolute boss. She was insecure definitely and undervalued her worth, but when she really put her mind to her practice, she flourished.

I did wish we had more single Mindy and we skipped over the Ben situation. In my mind, her and Danny both got therapy (separate and couples therapy). They split to work on themselves, then got back together (after seriously working on their issues). Orrrrrr, she ended up with Cliff (w/o the cheating), I really wish we got more of their relationship.

I know they sort of got back together at the end but I didn't see the change in danny that I wanted to.

I have a huge crush on Chris Messina so it's hard to not like him, but Danny needed therapy BAD. It was so easy for him to get engaged after hesitating with Mindy. He was just a mess but man did I love him before he got with Mindy. Also, it seemed he was low key jealous of Mindy's business. He literally said he didn't want to be the dad who abandons his kid then leaves his fiance and baby to take care of his dad for months? I get his dad was sick but dude fr?

Anyways, just a rant. I loved Mindy as an actress and I love this show. I will never get tired, and it is so fun to look at in a real world lense. Even though the ending is debatable, it's fun to see Peter, Morgan, and Jeremy's growth. It's also fun to see how Mindy's has grown in her relationship with Annette.

I’m rewatching the show & its getting excessive how much Mindy brings up “how tiny I am” or “I barely eat I’m little” kinda thing. Same with other characters bringing up her weight randomly when it has nothing to do with the conversation. I assumed this was a commentary on the cringe-ness of beauty standards in our society but I’m slowly feeling like it was not intentional to come off like that? I’ve never watched interviews on it or seen things on the commentary but what are your guys thoughts?

As we know the show ended with Danny with Mindy. However like many of you I believe she should have ended with someone else. Who do you all think what her best love interest? I loved Casey for her but unfortunately they wrote him off in season 2.

(Deleted and reposted bc, even though the show ended 6 years ago, I realized too late some people are watching it for the first time and my post title was a spoiler!)

I just rewatched the whole show for the first time since it aired, and I remembered that Mindy and Danny ended up together, but not what it was like. Mindy says she never stopped loving him, they kiss, and Danny immediately starts trying to control her life again (saying she has to move into his house bc he hates her neighborhood and that she should change her last name)- it’s pretty clear their relationship won’t last this time, either. Is this the first sitcom in history to give its main character an unhappy ending? Props to the showrunners for making the unexpected choice to not have a shiny happily ever after for Mindy; it’s a bummer but it makes sense- Mindy has always lived in a fantasy world and she fantasized that Danny had changed when he hadn’t (he believed in her ability to run her fertility clinic only AFTER seeing how successful it was and that it didn’t impact her ability to be a mom. That’s not belief, that’s just an observation of facts). Her jarring reality check is a dark note to end such an upbeat show on, but I respect it!

i actually liked danny until they started dating and he literally just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. i wish they didn’t burn casey’s character :/

(i’m at the end of season 3)

Can't remember the episode or season but Peter is on a date and does a magic trick by lifting a napkin and it really scares his date, she tells and says she's scared of magic? Any help finding it would be greatly appreciated.

I’m curious if i’m the only one who wishes those three weren’t written out of the show? Gwen is a favorite of mine and Shauna and Beth were both very funny.

I know everyone agrees that them being OB/GYN docs doesn’t make much sense and for the longest time I didn’t care.

However I decided to rewatch the show for the first time in 4 years and I can’t help but feel, if they had to be doctors, they should have been pediatricians. Like in a way Alex Karev from Grey‘s Anatomy was. He had a lot of character development to get there but I feel Mindy, Danny, Jeremy and Peter could exist in the same universe as him in terms of initial character writing.

This would even make sense if you think about the supporting characters. The midwifes upstairs? - easy, make them holistic child psychologists. There’s always a conflict going on about whether children’s health issues root in physical or psychological problems. Also Morgan? - He would be the only one who is liked by every kid by telling slightly unsettling stories and his child-like energy would make him popular too.

There haven’t been many medical scenes anyway and we barely know how each doctor treats their patients differently but with children I could totally see how they have different approaches as every kid is so different. Even if they don’t want children themselves, they could still like working with children. Plus Mindy‘s pregnancy would have been more interesting because they‘d know how much you can mess up a kid and would worry about doing everything perfectly.

All this goes to say, this is just a thought I had during s1+2 :)

I’m on season 2 of the Mindy project, and I’m LOOVING it. But I found out that Danny dies?? And that the show will go downhill. So when would you guys recommend I stop watching? Like what episode should I call it quits?

hey guys im looking for an episode where there is a flashback of mindy when in collage and she had blue contact lenses in the flashback. tried to look for the episode online but no one seem to mention it i feel like it's a fever dream but im sure that's what i remember i just don't know what season or episode. any help?

aaah yall i just finished season 5, im so happy with where it’s going !

mindy and ben are cute af i love their little family and while ben isn’t my favorite of her bfs, lindsey is so cool it totally makes up for it :3 also the engagement yahhhhhh so cool ugh.

cringing over collete rn though aughhhhh honestly i don’t hate karen (and this is coming from a devout morgan die hard ok) and i thought her and collete were a good match idk. what do i know 🤷

I’m a first time watcher btw!!

im celebrity deaf and don’t keep up with hollywood so i don’t recognize many of them lolol. my girlfriend told me james franco, so ik him now :D

who’s your favorite guest star, and are they from anything else popular?

yall had me convinced that this season was ass it’s actually so good so far 🤯 was not expecting it at all. the season of mindy choosing herself and just being a femcel lolol.

first with mindy choosing herself over d*nny or whatever other rando she was choosing

plus it’s really hard to dislike any of the newer characters even tho i am the first to hate late in the game additions to shows ugh. but collete, jody, and even ana are really enjoyable even though mindy and jody had 🤢 moments… plus originally i thought jody’s politics would annoy me but he’s turned out to be less insufferable than i imagined, all ill say is he’s definitely 100% realer than half of america who still believe in democrat and republican lolol.

collete is super cute and i definitely have a lesbian bias but she’s funny af and i cherish her and morgan’s friendship lolol. her gf was literally just introduced in real time where im at, so slay.

i like ana and the episode they introduced her in where mindy realizes she is a misandrist and not a misogynist lol. real as hell. not a fan of her weird eating habit jokes but whatever.

just finished season 5 episode 8 where mindy lives groundhog day it’s like sooo fucking funny one of the best episodes

BRUHHHH they in the cloud 9 omfggg 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

after like four seasons of watching him fail mindy in every way possible, i couldn’t be happier that they wrote >!danny!< off of the show. i’m at the end of season 4 (episode 17) and he briefly reappeared to spar with dr. kimball kenney (whom i also hate) and i really just had to sit and appreciate that he isn’t the main love interest of the show anymore. like god. he just sucks in every sense of the word. he’s wrong in all the wrong ways and his >!coparenting!< with mindy makes me want to vomit. if i knew this guy irl, i would beat him up almost every time he opens his mouth.

on the other (but same) hand, i feel we’ve lost a lot of good characters atp. >!shauna and eventually betsy, all of mindys super likable friends besides her coworkers.!< and i know yadda yadda workplace comedy but then all of the out of work scenes shifted to focusing on >!danny’s fkin family 🤮🤮🤢!< oh my god bro shoot me. i did have a nightmare a couple nights ago that they wrote morgan off 😱
