Oh, hey, mother dying of cancer alert.
Yeah, my bad. Prolly should have warned for that. It made me sniffle a bit. From the sound of it, she has more creative control over it than Margaret Cho did over her show. I also like that it looks like a show that's about a professional woman with a messed-up personal life who happens to be Indian-American, rather than a Show About An Indian-American Gal.
The premise of Professional Woman with Messed-up Love Life sounds kinda tired and potentially annoying, but I love Mindy Kaling, so I'll give it a try.

I thought the same, but I quite like the trailer: [link]
Sure, some cliches (well, quite a lot of them, actually) but Kaling is fun to watch. I also like Chris Messina who plays the antagonist / future love-interest person. He's a walking rom-com stereotype but Kaling has an oft-professed love of rom-coms and the whole things appears to be well in her wheelhouse.
Ooh, I hadn't seen the trailer. That's really charming.
It just seems kind of hard to promote is 30 second ads. New Girl should be a good lead in for it, though.
And the cliches are built in to the premise, right? Like, she really wishes her life were a rom-com, but it's not.
Yeah, I think so. She both embraces and makes fun of the cliches. From what little I can see from the trailer, it seems pretty self-aware.
So, wait, hey--is her show multiple camera?
Pretty sure not.
Is that based on the trailer? Or something you read?
The trailer.
