Why is this happening to us? Deadline<\/em> reports that The Mindy Project<\/em> is going on hiatus, with its last episode of the season (cue: sobbing) airing (seriously, are you reading for this?) on January 28.<\/p>\n

JANUARY 28. But it will return in April with an hour-long premiere.<\/p>\n

Evidently, The Mindy Project<\/em> and Dads<\/em> are both getting bumped due to low ratings, and will be replaced by Glee<\/em>, New Girl<\/em>, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em> (which is actually a great show, let me just tell you that right now).<\/p>\n

So what's the deal? According to Gawker<\/em>, the problem may be the guest stars (ex. James Franco), who are costing the show a pretty penny and haven't gotten a return yet. The site also says the show hasn't been allowing for proper character development because of said guest stars.<\/p>\n

But guys, this is the worst. Mindy Kaling is a force, and even shows like Parks and Recreation<\/em> have seen their fair share of not-so-great ratings — despite being the best. There's also Kaling's appeal to teens and 20-somethings, as evidenced by her recent piece for Rookie Yearbook 2<\/em>, which was just published in <\/a>Vanity Fair<\/a>. <\/em>We need more shows run by strong, smart women, so here's hoping the ratings pick up, and The Mindy Project<\/em> returns to full glory. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
