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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 love the mindykaling project show, it’s one of those shows that offers silly, clean humor. I am not always able to watch her show live but DVR it, I would be very disappointed if this silly good humor show gets cancelled. Please bring it back for another season.
Laugh out loud funny. Witty and character driven. Do not cancel this show-give it more time to build an audience.
Like everyone has stated I, myself watch Mindy on either projectfreetv or netflix. I actually got extremely excited that they started putting all the new episodes on netflix because they never do that. I’m usually working on Tuesday’s during the time that it plays and don’t have a DVR to record it, so I watch it when I can. I’m obsessed with the humor and I find it very empowering to females of all shapes and sizes and males as well. The characters are amazing and it is honestly one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I rewatch… Read more »
The Mindy Project cannot and should not be cancelled. The reason why the ratings might be so low is because people watch most of the episodes online or on netflix after the fact. The characters are hilarious and the writing is spot on. Every episode has content that is meaningful not like other shows where the show does not move forward. This show is courageous and engaging and the favorite show of many 18-35 year olds because it is so relatable. It is honest and raw. The Mindy project is one of the few comedy shows left that is genuinely… Read more »
I read that despite low ratings it won’t be canceled because it needs just one more season for syndication. After next season it probably will be canceled
Please don’t cancel The Mindy Project! This show is so funny. I love Mindy, she’s a great leading lady, her antics are hilarious. Now that Parks and Recreation is gone we need some real comedy on tv. The show is so much better than most of the crappy sitcoms on tv. This show needs to stay! !!!
I just started loving this show! I think it’s a great show! Please don’t cancel it…
mindy is one of the few good comedies left on tv. i have completely boycotted reality tv because its killing good shows that air against them. new girl is a show that i feel is sort of similar to mindy , but the writing on new girl has really gone down hill. i still like the show but dont think it will be back. mindy on the other hand still has strong episodes, and they arent procrastinating things the show is moving forward aggressively . it reminds me of selfie in that manner , also multiracial couple, dorky lead that… Read more »
IT CANNOT BE CANCELLED!! I love both new girl and mindy, but as Jessie said ^ new girl has been procrastinating, nothing ever happens but random stuff I remember watching the first few episodes of this season and thinking when the story gonna continue?! but mindys having a baby it just cant be cancelled.
if I had to choose between the 2 id choose mindy. new girl hasn’t really given me anything to keep rooting for its sad but its true.
mindys gotta stay, please do not cancel it
Please do not cancel this show – it’s one of the best things out there – and I’m in the right age demographic! LOL
I love mindy and i think its the funniest , smartest comedy in television today
Im optimistic they will get another season
This cannot be canncelled. It is a great show and it has incredible story lines and an amazing cast. I would do anything to see it renewed for a fourth season, this can’t be the end. IT JUST CAN’T.
This is my favourite program on TV, PLEASE do not cancel it, it’s Brilliant!
This is my favourite show right now! DO NOT CANCEL IT!
this is the funniest show currently on tv in my opinion. and there are so few comedies that are worth watching. in fact I only watch about 3 or 4 current shows on tv. unfortunately I mainly watch Netflix or hulu, so I don’t help with the ratings. I think networks need to keep sites like that in mind before cancelling shows. I have found a few great shows on these sites that were cancelled way before their time. but I think mindy is so funny and refreshing. in fact it makes me feel good.
I work at night and don’t have dvr- I actually take tues nights off just to stay home and watch mindy!!! It is so freaking funny !!!
DO NOT cancel this show! Mindy makes my Tuesday.
If that’s not reason enough not to cancel it then I don’t know what is.
