Mindy Kaling’s new sitcom was picked up for the 2012-2013 television season, and will air on Fox starting later this year. The actress (and producer, and author, and all around multitalent) will star in The Mindy Project (the title will likely change) as an OB-GYN “who’s trying to get her life in order"... and guess what? She's doing it all in Manhattan.
While "girl getting her life in order in the big city" isn't exactly a groundbreaking genre, this afternoon Kaling Tweeted the first trailer for the show (it only takes five seconds in to get to a Mayor Bloomberg reference), and it looks pretty great so far! But not everyone is impressed—this critic says he "isn't fond" of the show... but maybe that's just because he doesn't feel the show represents him?
Speaking of Girls, Lena Dunham showed her support for Kaling's new project, Tweeting, "I cannot wait to watch every week wearing a pore strip and cheering my head off. Love love love."
Is this the year real New York women finally find their way to the small screen?
