TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 21 “Best Man” (USA, 2015)

Will we or won’t we? The Mindy Project’s fourth season has yet to be given the go ahead by US network Fox, but here’s hoping that we’ll see Mindy again – if for no other reason than I want to finally meet Mindy’s parents! I find it a little hard to believe that Danny’s never met Mindy’s…

TV Reviews: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 20 “What To Expect When You’re Expanding” (USA, 2015)

In the penultimate episode of this season, Mindy finally faced something that she hasn’t faced since, arguably, way back in season one: a complete and total loss of confidence. She’s definitely pregnant, and starting to show, and her confidence has completely been drained by the fact that she no longer fits into her pre-pregnancy clothing. This episode has…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 19 “Confessions of a Catho-holic” (USA, 2015)

Stephen. Freaking. Colbert. With new beard! Playing a priest! He was easily, without a doubt, the best thing about this episode, and his guest spot has got to be one of the best of the whole season. Mostly because of how funny he is, but also because he’s STEPHEN COLBERT. Here he plays Father Michael O’Donnell who,…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3 Episode 18 “Fertility Bites” (USA, 2015)

Mindy is, professionally, breaking out on her own. Her fertility clinic is up and running and all she needs now are the patients. Unfortunately for her, no one wants to go to a clinic that doesn’t have an established client base and excellent track record. The staff of Shulman and Associates are trying to help her by…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3 Episode 17 “Danny Castellano is my Nutritionist” (USA, 2015)

Just like Danny and Mindy’s relationship opened the show up to a whole new avenue of humour, Mindy’s pregnancy is doing exactly the same thing. Mindy is definitely pregnant (I keep waiting for the writers to say “PSYCH!” and make it all one big fever dream), and she’s suffering from very bad morning sickness, having…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3, Episode 16 “Lahiri Family Values” (USA, 2015)

This episode seemed more filler than most Mindy Project episodes we’ve seen lately, but sometimes filler is a necessary evil. We can’t have pregnancy bombshells and tearful goodbyes in every episode, can we? Mindy heads back to San Francisco after revealing her pregnancy to Danny, who agrees to quit Shulman and Associates to move to…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3 Episode 15 “Dinner at the Castellanos” (USA, 2015)

It’s very evident at the end of “Dinner at the Castellanos” that The Mindy Project is shifting into unchartered territory.  We started out with a show about a young, professional woman trying to “get her life together”, and here we are, two and a half seasons later, and she’s pregnant, pursuing her professional dreams and…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3, Episode 14 “No More Mr. Noishe Guy”

Upon reflection, “No More Mr. Noishe Guy” was actually a massive game-changer. Not only did we lose perhaps the best supporting character, but something happened at the end to switch everything up and change the course of the show in a way that I really didn’t think would happen until the end of this season….

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3, Episode 12 “Stanford” (USA, 2015)

The Mindy Project is back for 2015 and it begins with Mindy moving to California to begin her 8 month fellowship at Stanford University. This is a great move, as I was certain that there was going to be a time jump and we’d soon be seeing Mindy back in New York City. As it…

TV Review: The Mindy Project Season 3, Episode 11 “Christmas”

By Amy Nancarrow It’s the last Mindy for the year, and the stakes were high this week as we (and Danny) know that Mindy wants to be engaged to Danny by Christmas. This week’s Christmas themed episode promised just that – numerous times – but ended up going to a different (and better) place. Mindy…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3, Episode 10 “What About Peter?” (USA, 2014)

By Amy Nancarrow With the news last week that Adam Pally will be leaving The Mindy Project in the New Year, I was hoping that Mindy would use him immensely during his last few episodes as series regular. Thankfully my prayers were answered, as not only were we treated to a lot of Peter, but…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3, Episode 8 “Diary of a Mad Indian Woman”

By Amy Nancarrow Who hasn’t seen a friend, family member or significant other’s personal diary and been tempted to sneak a peek at their most intimate thoughts? Danny succumbs to his curiosity in “Diary of a Mad Indian Woman”, and doesn’t necessarily like what he reads. Mindy realises that Danny never stays at her house,…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3, Episode 7 “We Need To Talk About Annette”

By Amy Nancarrow In my review of last week’s episode, “Caramel Princess Time”, I made the case that the best episodes of this season of The Mindy Project are those that have Mindy and Danny working together, and not fighting or facing some sort of relationship trouble. This week’s offering, “We Need to Talk About…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3, Episode 6 “Caramel Princess Time”

By Amy Nancarrow Mindy’s back after a two week hiatus and, surprise, surprise, Danny and Mindy are having relationship troubles again. This time, Danny is angry that Mindy is late to everything: to work, to dates, to the Italian stand-up comedy night that Danny likes – and Mindy can’t understand why it’s such a big…

TV Review: The Mindy Project – Season 3 Episode 5 “The Devil Wears Lands’ End” (USA, 2014)

After weeks and weeks of constant Mindy and Danny relationship dramas and a struggling B-plot, this week’s Mindy Project episode is a return to the funny, self-deprecating, smart show we’ve enjoyed over the last two years. Mindy, Danny and the rest of the practice find themselves at the mercy of the new Chief of Obstetrics,…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 4 “I Slipped” (USA, 2014)

Now this is the kind of relationship stuff we need to see in the early days of The Mindy Project’s third season. This awkward, ‘getting to know you’ stuff that all couples face, it’s what fleshes out the central relationship and makes Danny and Mindy into a believable, solid couple. “I Slipped” is proof that…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 3 “Crime and Misdemeanors and Ex-BFs” (USA, 2014)

I was wondering how long it would take for one of Mindy’s ex-boyfriends to come back into the picture and stir things up, and even though we’re only three episodes into the new season, it’s charming lawyer Cliff (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Glenn Howerton) that we have the pleasure of seeing again. Mindy…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 2 “Annette Castellano Is My Nemesis” (USA, 2014)

Ah, the parental-significant other meet-and-greet – something that can be a nightmare for even the most solid of couples. It’s also a classic well of sitcom humour, and that definitely hasn’t slipped past Mindy Kaling and co., as in this week’s episode we finally meet Annette Castellano. Played by Rhea Perlman, Annette Castellano is a…

TV Review: The Mindy Project, Season 3 Episode 1 “We’re a Couple Now, Haters!” (USA, 2014)

There’s often a risk with getting two will-they-won’t-they characters into a relationship; shows such as Castle and Bones spend seasons upon seasons building up the sexual tension, with the result, more often than not, resulting in a season’s worth of happiness before the inevitable break up. The Mindy Project has bucked that trend by beginning…

Mindy Kaling shows a Sunday SXSW audience why she’s now the “New Queen of Comedy”

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than in the presence of one of the funniest faces on television at the moment? Mindy Kaling of The Office and The Mindy Project fame came to Austin to partake in an ‘In Conversation’ session hosted by Marie Claire’s Anne Fuldwider and also featuring her cast mates…
