I think Mindy Kaling is very funny. Talented. Smart. So it's with disappointment that she has made her character on The Mindy Project so lame. It hit me in the episode where she deals with her best friend's child and she's completely clueless about children and doesn't even really like them. SHE"S AN OBSTETRICIAN for God's sake. She delivers babies, but she doesn't like kids? Lately she's become more and more silly and ridiculous with her relationships with men. She acts like a 19 year old idiot but she's been to Medical School. I'm not sure if she's trying to channel some kind of stupid Ally McBeal lameness, but it's annoying. Why make such a smart and successful woman look so ridiculous? It is lazy writing and I would expect better from Miss Kaling and crew. The women she represents deserve better.
And please don't give me this "Go write a better show yourself you overly critical loser". She's the one who got the show based on her talent and I can bitch about my disappointment without having to write a better show. She's the one wasting her comedic gifts and her fans deserve better.
More to come later on Why I thought the first season of "Friday Night Lights" was filled with every TV plot device every created in 22 episodes.
