Comedian Mindy Kaling of The Office now has her own TV show—The Mindy Project, about an ob/gyn doctor lookin' for love, which was inspired by her real-life ob/gyn mother. It will be the first American sitcom created by and starring an Indian American.

I'm a fan of Mindy Kaling, and loved her writing on the Office, but I couldn't finish watching the pilot episode of her new show. I think it will do well—I wish her the best, but... eh... I can't put my finger on it, it just doesn't bring the funny I so wanted.

Hari actually debuted a draft version of this bit at his Town Hall "Scratch Night" a few months back.

It was funny and incisive then. It's even funnier in its final form!
