Despite low ratings, FOX renewed The Mindy Project once again last spring. If the ratings go lower, will it be cancelled or would this sitcom still be renewed for a fourth season? We’ll have to wait and see.
On The Mindy Project, a talented obstetrician (Mindy Kaling) has a chaotic personal life and struggles to find the elusive perfect relationship. Her workmates are played by Chris Messina, Ed Weeks, Adam Palley, Ike Barinholtz, Beth Grant, and Xosha Roquemore.
Why track the ratings? The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/6 update: FOX has cancelled The Mindy Project but Hulu may pick it up for two more seasons.
Final season averages: 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.31 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Last year comparison: The second season of The Mindy Project averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.55 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like The Mindy Project TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
I’m new to “The Mindy Project”. I just started watching it three weeks ago. I love this show! I have bought both seasons 1&2 on dvd. I am already caught up because it draws you in. The writing is great. I love the cast. It’s really funny. I’m hoping for a long run 10 seasons or more.
Pls No! I love this show!!
I personally think this show should be cancelled. She’s whinny, indecisive, and is so desperate for a relationship. Not to mention that she’s a serial dater, I think she’s afraid of being alone; which everyone is but they do not carry on as she does. I can’t believe they are considering renewing this show, when they have cancelled Selfie which actually taught viewers about self acceptance, compassion, the tolerance of others AND is funny. Cancel this show and bring back Selfie!
Hulu commercials of this show makes me twitch. Her whiny traits are embarrassing and her prime was on the office. Same nagging personality in this show, but without the comedy. Jesus, it makes SATC loook like gold compared to this shiza. Enough with this “girl living in the big city” piece of garbage. DO A LOGICAL SHOW FOR ONCE!
I love her, and the show so much! Please keep it going for as long as humanly possible! Incredible talent and the comedic timing is spot-on-PERFECTION. We watch on Hulu, hope its being counted for, somewhere. Keep up the phenomenal work, Mind’!
the worst sitcom I have even seen in my life. How can someone like a show when they cannot understand what the star is saying.
Doesn’t anyone else besides me think this woman has a speech impediment?
Yay! It’s up! Pretty amazing, considering the 2-week hiatus and complete lack of promotion by Fox. Guess the horrible lead-ins, first Utopia, then reruns, were hurting both Mindy and New Girl.
Question: Does watching it on hulu count for ratings? I watch all my TV show online. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc…..
Thanks!
Not as part of the Nielsen ratings but the networks are aware of views on their sites and Hulu. If you’re not a Nielsen household, that’s how I recommend people watch. At least your viewing is being counted in some way.
It’s a phenomenal show, brilliantly written and expertly delivered. If it’s cancelled it will be an awful shame. The comedic chemistry between the actors is unbelievable and no line is left without having something to it.
The show is garbage, and should’ve been axed in its first season.
The man who kept it on the air — Kevin Reilly — lost his job for such poor decisions. The new head honchos won’t repeat his mistake.
hopefully Fox will wake up and realie that it is a shame NOT to cancel this pile of #%$#@*&^
Every single thing you wrote is untrue. I’m ashamed — deeply ashamed — of you.
I love this show! Hope it gets renewed for a fourth season – it’s hilarious!
Mindy must have dirt on someone. because that has to the reason why this poor excuse for a waste of bandwidth is still on the air
This is the best show on tv! And it should get renewed and this season should be extended. It’s very funny and witty. I agree with persistent cat.. Fox needs to promote the show more and maybe get the first two seasons on netflix so that people can see for themselves how awesome this show is. It’s one of the top shows on hulu also.
I absolutely love this show. I think putting the first two seasons on Netflix could help it boost its ratings. I wish Fox would hype it a little more to prevent it from being cancelled. Unfortunately too many people want shows with laugh tracks for jokes you can see coming a mile away. This show isn’t for everyone but for me, it’s one of the funniest around.
Never could find anything funny about this show.
With low ratings like hers, WHY is this one still on the air? It stinks!
Darn right it stinks! To high heaven!
