5 Things I Learned from The Season 2 Premiere of “The Mindy Project”

Published

I really wanted to like The Mindy Project. It’s all about Mindy Kaling! I love her! I loved her on The Office! I love to support funny ladies! I love rom-coms and television — what a delicious pairing this will be! But after I watched the show’s premiere last year, I was all… meh. Then I deleted it from my already-overflowing DVR recordings and proceeded to watch five minutes here, five minutes there throughout the season without ever giving it much further thought. Because I approach my television viewing much like I approach sex since becoming a mom: If I stay awake to do this, is it really going to be more pleasurable than sleep? And most exhausted mothers out there know what that answer usually is. (Sorry, Mr. Candy. Zzzzzz.)

However, the kids have been sleeping in later (can I get a hallelujah?) so I’ve been feeling more refreshed lately (this is where Mr. Candy shouts “HALLELUJAH!”). Which means I’m also ready to give The Mindy Project another shot. It just so happens that Fox posted an early preview of Mindy‘s second season premiere online — one week before its Sept. 17 broadcast debut. The episode — titled “All My Problems Solved Forever” — follows Mindy to Haiti, where she’s struck by a sudden ailment. It also features a guest turn by the seemingly ubiquitous James Franco as Dr. Paul Leotard, whose name pretty much says it all.

Here are the top 5 things I learned from the season 2 premiere of The Mindy Project:

1. As we can see from this hair-chop, er…cut (just a wig, but a permanent style for the character), Mindy learned nothing from Felicity‘s mistakes.

2. Watching James Franco’s sperm dance to ’70s porn music is oddly mesmerizing.

3. Yeah, I would totally buy the “James Franco’s Disco Sperm” iPad app.

4. SPOILER ALERT: Contrary to the title of the episode, Mindy doesn’t really get all of her problems solved forever.

5. The premiere was cute enough to make me give the show another chance. Until the kids start waking up at the crack of dawn again, that is.

We’ve spent countless Friday nights at home in our pajamas, drinking boxed wine and screaming at the couples on House Hunters that they should have picked house #3. (Seriously! Damon hates craftsman homes and Jenna’s going to regret getting that fixer-upper with the pink bathroom tiles!) So as a token of appreciation to our favorite HGTV show, here are just a few haikus we’ve written in celebration of it.

Husband hates granite
Wife wants a mansion for free
Realtor rethinks job

Some say show is fake
House already in escrow
But we are still hooked

I’d Rather Be Home
on Couch Watching House Hunters
Good bumper sticker

International
Makes me long for life abroad
‘Til I see li’l rooms

Small budget, first house
Makes for really boring show
Bigger is better

She demands fixer
He loathes tools and mess and work
Divorce court ahead

If you haven’t been watching Busy Philipps’ new late-night show, Busy Tonight, THEN WHY THE HELL NOT?! She’s a breath of fresh air in a field overrun with political jokes (as much as I love me some Megyn Kelly jabs) and white dudes, making you feel like you’re chatting with your best friend who just happens to share your obsession with Oprah and can pull off a red lip better than you. Here’s a clip from her Golden Globes special last night, which quickly touches upon some of the style trends on the red carpet, including yellow and nude dresses, plus an ice skating-inspired ensemble from Timothée Chalamet.
