Sigh. I am listless because I miss The Mindy Project. All I do is sit and crochet and watch reruns (no I promise I'm not 80 I'm in my 20's).

| I hardcore judge you if you don't watch this brilliant show. |
What are it's renewal prospects? Better now that the almost-certain-to-be-renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine is also suffering ratings wise in Mindy's old time slot (well it's also partly because of the Olympics but lets just forget about that). According to tvbythenumbers.com (a reliable and convenient site with a very mean cancellation bear just waiting to eat all your favorite shows), B99's ratings last week were 1.2 and 2.87 mil. That's just about on par with The Mindy Project...actually a little lower than the last two new episodes. What does this mean you ask? It means (I think) that Tuesday at 9:30 is a cursed timeslot on FOX. People stick around through New Girl but once 9:30 hits people are ready for bed I guess? I don't get it, whatever. Anyway, no one in the world should be watching the horrendous show that is Dads, yet it comes on at 8 so a few select people just watch it anyway because it has a prime timeslot. Here is my dream Fox comedy line up for next season: B99 @ 8pm, TMP @ 8:30, New Girl @ 9, and the show that takes Dads place (God willing) at 9:30. Fox will never do that though, because they want to give their new show a fighting chance, so I will also accept new show @ 8, B99 @ 8:30, TMP @ 9, and New Girl @ 9:30, because New Girl has been established as the Tuesday night comedy block favorite, meaning people will be more willing to stick around til 9:30 for it.
FOX execs: take this into consideration. Also, are you hiring? I am available.
Now onto reviews:
Sorry I just had so much to say!
New Girl "Sister"
 |
| yeah they kinda look alike, but Jess' sister is a crazy slutty hoe. |
Didn't LOVE this episode. To be honest, I had a hard time paying attention. I thought the Bat Mitzvah subplot was more entertaining than the main plot with Jess and her sister (Linda Cardellini)...are we really supposed to believe that Jess was embarrassed to tell Nick about her sister? Jess, have you met Nick? UNREALISTIC. But it did lead to a cute moment with them at the end. Schmidt will always be my favorite, and him trying to land a Jewish girlfriend was hilarious and could've worked out if a drunken Nick hadn't taken it too far with the granny on the dance floor. Whatevs though, he belongs with CeCe, but I don't mind them taking a time out. Is Linda C really sticking around? How will this affect the Nick and Jess dynamic? Will she hook up with Coach?!
Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Full Boyle"
 |
| Jake, don't you dare clip Boyle's colorful wings. |
What can I say other than HAHAHA. YES. Thank you, B99 writers, making Boyle's hilariously eager personality the main plot of an episode. Jake decided that in order for Boyle to keep his girlfriend, he needs to cool off and not go "full Boyle" on her. The problem is, Boyle is incapable of doing this because he gets giddy every time he thinks about her. Turns out, she likes him like that and she is the same way, so they got engaged at the end of the episode. Pretty fast right? And in an interrogation room no less. I know what you're thinking--what about Rosa?
