Watched the premiere episodes of The Mindy Project and Revolution last night.

Uuggh.

Revolution felt like it was Jericho, right down to "twist" with the mysterious African-American who still has a working computer. I may stick around but hate shows built around one central mystery as the show NEVER SOLVES THE MYSTERY!!! Argh!!

Mindy was not very funny and seemed strangely paced/conceived. I think they wanted to make her seem like a good role model by making her a doctor, but there were so many other aspects that I found demeaning to women. At least the show is honest about Mindy's weight... though I have no idea why she wants to wear so many tight outfits when she really, really needs to lose 20 pounds. I think of Mindy Kailing (sp?) as really bright and capable of smart comedy. So, why did her show start with so many lame, obvious, dumb jokes? If we watch another episode, it will be because of our faith in her, not because the show deserves it.

More later...
