ONTD

Amanda Setton will always be Kim from One Life to Live.

I am not giving up on this show yet bc I want to like it and I feel like most shows find their groove around episode 7, but after tonight's episode I totally knew they'd kick that one girl off the show. I wish they wouldn't downplay Anna Camp though, maybe try to fit her in more somehow

Didn't mindy find out that her boyfriend (the blond guy) was engaged???? Or even married? Did I make this up, or was that resolved?

yeah I've only been casually watching (like usually doing homework at the same time) but I thought there was some scene where she was Facebook stalking him and saw that he was engaged or something... Maybe I'm confusing it with another show. But I've been waiting for them to go back to that lol but I guess it just didn't happen

I did not realize this show had fallen out of favor with ONTD, but I am loving it. It's growing on me more and more. Last week's episode was perfection, from Mindy's boyfriend putting on her pants ("It is NOT the same thing at all!") to the awkward breast exam with Danny. I like her relationship with Josh and her clearly future one with Danny - they are oddly realistic and not like what you typically see on TV. I like the sweet, weird little office girl, and root for her with the British doc. The male nurse has grown on me a lot.

These leavings make sense. I really enjoyed the best friend relationship, especially in tonight's episode, but the character did not fit integrate with the rest of the show at all, and it always felt weird when she popped in. I love Amanda Setton, but she was playing the exact same character she played on OLTL, and that sort of over-the-top campiness did not transfer well from daytime to primetime.

Too bad it's too late for Penelope to come back. Her accent on the show is ridiculous, though.

lol wat ontd I love this show.

I totally didn't recognize Josh as that incest-y arsonist unsub in that one ep of CM tho. he is qt

hmm, I'm fine w/the reduced BFF role. I enjoy their interactions though, so as long as she's not completely gone, that's fine.

Wonder what the "creative reasons" were. Maybe she didn't want to just be eye candy; that's understandable. tbh she's the only character whose leaving isn't a big loss to the show, so I guess that says it all.

I hope the show does well! I'd be sad if it didn't stick around.

This show has so much potential and I love Mindy but it needs to really figure itself out soon. The episodes so far have been all over the place, and I am really confused by this supporting cast.

Mindy needs to go watch season 2 of Parks and Rec to take note of how to develop a supporting cast and find the show's groove.

Oh, the one thing I will say I don't find cute on the show is that we're obviously supposed to be rooting for Mindy/Danny endgame, but they cross the line w/each other at times to the point where I can't.

Like, she says rude things to him about his divorce when it's a painful subject to him, and he calls her fat. I guess we're supposed to find that cute? I feel like, why should people who talk to each other like that date? I like them as friends, but I can't root for someone to date a person who body-shames them or someone who uses their painful divorce against them.

I also found it really creepy that he wanted to be her ob/gyn, even if he was only saying it to ~test her. It was gross that he would even suggest it when he is attracted to her and she doesn't realize it.

ETA: Oh! And I love Mindy's delivery and timing, but she mumbles. Sometimes I have to rewind 3 times just to figure out what she's saying, and it's often a really clever line.

the breakdown was awful, yeah. He has a lot of issues, but I feel like at heart he's not a bad guy. He just needs a shit ton of therapy. As far as "no wonder he's divorced", we don't know what his wife or their relationship was like, so I can't say it was all him. But yeah, they've made him so jacked up that I can't root for a relationship for him until he gets his issues sorted.

yeah it's completely disgusting.

just saw Anna and the British guy from the show at a special screening of Hitchcock. couldn't tell if they were on a date or friends. they are both pretty IRL.

good choice, even tho i love AS

The cast on this show isn't necessarily bulky, but it definitely lacks focus. Aside from Mindy, who am I supposed to care about? (or remember?)

In other words, I'm okay with people leaving.

I haven't watched last night's episode yet, but I'm still getting second-hand embarrassment and residual laughs from last week's opening scene -- him putting on her jeans...so uncomfortably hilarious.

This show has potential and I'm sticking with it.

that Setton chick reminded me of a watered down version of Jennifer Esposito in Samantha Who?, ya?

this show is horrid.

I like it but not as much as New Girl and Don't Trust the B in Apt 23.
