Did the show end? Yesterday they showed the season finale, and there's only been four or five episodes.

I thought Mindy was adorable and funny as the cook.

Tori was funny in the first episode with her freaking out scene....but then it got old, real fast.

Not since they made that offensive comment about John Ritter. I refuses to watch that crap anymore. Mindy is way too good for a crappy show like that

it was out of line, but Mad TV probably made a more offensive comment about JR and it seemed that nobody took offense to what they said about him around the time the 8SR episode aired that centered around his death

on MAD TV: "the networks only care about prolonging saying goodbye to things, NBC wants to keep prolonging saying goodbye to Friends, HBO wants to keep prolonging saying goodbye to Sex And The City, ABC wants to keep prolonging saying goodbye to John Ritter"

both of them were pretty below the belt and in really bad taste

Well, they can do SEASON finales without doing a SERIES finale. Season finale just means it's the end of the season and USUALLY means it'll be back next season. SERIES finale means the end of the series.


I've only seen one episode, but I didn't much care for it. Mindy was funny, but I didn't like watching a whoel show to see...30 seconds of her.

It was a mid season replacement so there was only going to be 4-5 episodes for its "first" season.

Even though Mindy is great, This show was not the best. They should cut most of the cast and focus on a few characters(sound familiar?

ooh...I was wondering why the season was up after a couple of episodes.

The show got annoying after a while. In the last three episodes, I only saw 10 or so minutes. Tori Spelling's whole "Molly?....OK! IT WAS ME...." monologues were getting very annoying.
