Mindy, Mindy, Mindy...

Post number one! Okay, so this week in class we were asked to really think about why we liked watching the shows we watched. One of my favorites is the Mindy Project. So as I sat down on the usual Tuesday night at 8:30 I asked, why do I love this show so much? Answer one: it's hilarious! All the characters play off of each other so well, the jokes are original and how can you not love all the witty banter. Answer two: Could Danny get any cuter?! At first I was unsure of the possible romance they were building up to with him and Mindy but now I don't know... he is so sweet with her I might actually be on board (but don't worry it will be dragged out for a few more seasons so you have time to adjust). In fact all of Mindy's relationships are great, how does she find all these funny, smart, attractive guys?! Sure Josh turned out to be a jerk but the others are adorable and totally infatuated with her. How does she do it? Share your secrets with us Mindy, help a sister out :) Answer three: All the guest stars. She has the best cast and comedic guest stars, she even brought Josh from Drake and Josh in to play Ray-Ron and it was hilarious. But this all leads up to answer four the biggest of them all: I love Mindy! Everything about her. She is successful, curvy, funny, and totally unafraid to put herself out there and be exactly who she is and even make fun of herself for it from time to time. She is confident and owns it. I don't know what it is but it draws me in and makes me want to be like her. I keep imagining that someday I will have cute clothes and even cuter guys asking me out and I will live in this nice apartment with a successful job and be surrounded by awesome friends that I love. Too often I feel like women in shows are petite and have some stereotype we all have to live up to. This one gets the guys because she loves art and is cultured and smart while this one loves sports and is one of the guys. Mindy is a regular girl which I think why I love her so much. She says it like it is and doesn't put on an act and guess what? People love her. She speaks the truth of what most of us are really thinking. She makes me feel like I can be totally comfortable being me. She brings variety to women on t.v. which I honestly think we need more of. So with that I leave you with a Mindy quote:

Now go watch this show!
