Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Seriously. This show is awful and painfully unfunny. It is a shame to renew it while really good, well-written shows that are FUNNY get cancelled so early on. I personally think Mindy Kaling is so uncomfortable to watch and the bar is set so low. It is dumbed down and lowest common denominator humor. I am sure it will be cancelled soon.
