I'm watching The New Normal (well, half of it this week, I watched the first half of The Mindy Project before giving up). I don't think it's actually funny, but it is kind of heartwarming and enjoyable to watch.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Huh. I hated The New Normal, am surprised how much I like Go On, and am cautiously optimistic about The Mindy Project (only one epsisode in, but I think the rom-com-ness is cleverly done).

Always Anti-fascist!
-t is me. Or I am she. One nitpick about the Mindy Project: That's a lot of...I don't know, riffing. or trope-busting. I love that, like the Lance White episodes on Rockford. But there's a reason the whole show was never about Lance White and he was only on four times or something.(will that make sense to people who aren't me?) God knows, every genre has enough "stuff" that you can make fun of for a long time. and Kaling knows her stuff, she's good at it, but it was more like "Here's Mindy Kaling, playing an obstetrician who thinks she's in a movie every day...she can't act that way in real life, ha ha." But I can't even pretend to believe in it. I think the jokes are going to have to be damn good to make up for that.

I'm enjoying the New Normal and Go On, though not in love with either. Their newness is refreshing. Haven't seen Mindy.
Friday is Community, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In mid-October, yes.

It is an excellent, swift set of responses! Crap, I had it in my brain as the last Friday of Sept. Stupid brain. Disappointing.
