I agree! I don't care much for Mindy Project, but New Girl's great and Brooklyn Nine-Nine is hilarious...wish more people would watch it.

I don't understand the appeal of Brooklyn Nine Nine (nor New Girl, but I've gotten over trying to understand it). Perhaps its because I find Andy Samberg beyond annoying, but nothing about the show clicked for me.

I can't get into any of Fox's comedies that night. None of them are funny to me. The only Fox sitcom I like is Raising Hope.

I used to watch The Mindy Show but it got too boring, I still watch New Girl but it isn't as good a it used to be, and I just can't stand 18 minutes of Andy Samberg - maybe it would work if he was only in like 90 seconds of each episode.

ITA, those two shows are great. I've tried getting into Mindy, due to my love of The Office but i just couldn't get into it.

My husband and I tried those shows but really hated them. I wish we liked them because we only watch about an hour of TV each week now.

I'm getting back into New Girl, after being bored with it last year. I'm still watching The Mindy Project. They've done some tweaking with it, and I do like the gags and jokes. Overall, it still needs to improve.

I haven't watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine since the pilot. I know the critics are behind it, but I found it a bit silly.

These three shows will get full-season orders, but I don't know about "Dads", many fans hated that show and it deserves to get axed immediately.

mr awesome · 10-17-2013, 04:32 PM

I don't care for 'Dads' but the ratings aren't as abysmal as everyone expected them to be. Last week it did a tenth better than 'The Mindy Project.' Plus, FOX won't be quick to cancel it given McFarlane's involvement. This is the same net that let 'Til Death' limp along for years.

I doubt so.
