May 30, 2022 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.8 MBWhile you wait for a new episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.', check out this old favorite! It's the voice of a generation... or the voice of a generation. It's 'Girls,' Lena Dunham's tour de force that premiered in 2012 to both critical acclaim and endless controversies. In the latest episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.', Kate and Allison dissect why the TV environment was ripe for a raunchy show about millennials, the one-page pitch that got Dunham the series, the nudity conversation surrounding the...
Re-Release: One Tree Hill
May 23, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBWhile you wait for a new episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.' check out this old favorite! There is only one Tree Hill, but there are nine(!) seasons of 'One Tree Hill,' the CW's little teen soap that could. In our latest episode, Allison and Kate talk about the humble beginnings of the quietest hit on TV — and the tumultuous behind-the-scenes drama that was revealed years later. Find out everything that went down on set, along with plenty of fun facts about the series. Plus, our hosts look bac...
Re-Release: Grey's Anatomy
May 16, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 83.4 MBWhile you await a new episode of 'TV.Watch.Repeat.,' check out this old favorite! From McDreamy to McDrama. In 2005, Grey's Anatomy surged onto the screen with a new kind of medical drama — one that was feminist, diverse, and, of course, sexy. (The series pilot starts with a one-night stand, after all.) But while the series' tight writing and talented cast brought it instant success, tensions behind the scenes started to brew, causing Grey's Anatomy to make headlines for all the wrong reason...
Re-Release: Friends
May 09, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBWhile you await a new episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.', check out this old favorite! Could we BE any more excited to talk about the 1994 debut of a series that changed television? Co-hosts Allison Piwowarski and Kate Ward tackle the history of Friends, a series that began as a logistical solution, and grew into a phenomenon that commanded $1 million per episode salary for its cast. Find out who could have played Ross and Rachel, why Lisa Kudrow thought her Friends days were over before they ...
Re-Release: New Girl
April 27, 2022 10:00 - 59 minutes - 82.3 MBWhile you wait for a new episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.,' enjoy this vintage episode about 'New Girl'! What's that pilot... what's that pilot... it's 'New Girl,' the 2011 series that introduced the world to instantly iconic characters like Schmidt and Nick Miller, and instantly iconic lingo. (Hello, "chut-e-ney.") But 'New Girl' might have given us a completely different set of characters, based on the pitch doc co-hosts Allison Piwowarski and Kate Ward dug up for creator Liz Meriwether's...
Re-Release: Gilmore Girls (with Sam Bush)
April 18, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.5 MBThe best trips down memory lane are the ones that take you past Luke's Diner, Miss Patty's School of Ballet, and, of course, the Dragonfly Inn. So it's no surprise that Stars Hollow — the fictional 'Gilmore Girls' town that inspires autumnal wanderlust every year — was born out of a memory of a trip. En route to New York at the turn of the millennium, Amy Sherman-Palladino drove through Washington, Connecticut, and realized she was in a town so idyllic, it might as well have been fantasy. So...
We are on a break!
April 11, 2022 09:00 - 2 minutes - 3 MBThe title is a Friends reference in case you didn't get it. (Listen to our Friends episode, by the way!) We know you're dying (ha!) to hear all about Castle, and don't worry, we'll get there! But we're currently on a season hiatus. We'll be back soon, but in the meantime, let us know what shows we should be covering! And listen to some of our old episodes and tweet us @thedipp with your recommendations, thoughts, and everything in between.
Dharma & Greg
March 21, 2022 10:00 - 35 minutes - 48.1 MB'30 Rock's Jack Donaghy once said, "Never go with a hippie to a second location." In 1997, a man named Gregory Montgomery defied that advice, and then some — not only did he go to a baseball game with a hippie, he also flew to Reno and got married to her, all within 24 hours. And that's just the first five minutes of 'Dharma & Greg,' Chuck Lorre's spirited comedy about two opposites who fall in love, and deal with the fall-out between their mismatched families. It's the subject of our lates...
Criminal Minds
March 14, 2022 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.4 MBBefore 'Criminal Minds,' most police procedurals focused on the "who" bit of "whodunit." But, when the Mandy Patinkin CBS series debuted in 2005, it was one of the first to ask not only "who," but "why." What resulted was a series that lasted over 300 episodes and 15 years — even if all of its cast didn't. Patinkin included, who called his two seasons on the show his "biggest mistake." You, like the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, might wonder... why? Our latest episode gets into it all, del...
Jane The Virgin
March 07, 2022 11:00 - 50 minutes - 70 MBThere's so much to love about 'Jane The Virgin.' The impeccable writing. The refreshingly fast pacing. The heartwarming family moments. Michael. And, did I mention, Michael? Allison and Kate put aside their Team Rafe/Team Michael differences in this latest episode in order to tell the history of 'Jane the Virgin,' the beloved CW telenovela-fairy tale that attracted critical praise and Emmys. Along the way, we learn about why creator Jennie Urman Snyder almost turned the project down, the man...
Scrubs
February 28, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 59.9 MB'Scrubs' was inspired by a nightmare: Bill Lawrence, also known as the mind behind 'Ted Lasso,' would be in need of medical care, and be met by none other than... his college best friend and med school student, J.D. A bad situation, perhaps, but a great situational comedy, as it turns out. So Lawrence created 'Scrubs,' a sitcom about a medical school resident named — what else? — J.D. Perhaps the fact that the series is rooted in friendship is the reason for its very, very long life, lasti...
Felicity
February 21, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 60.1 MBIt was the haircut seen — and loathed — around the world. After scoring great ratings and reviews in its first season, J.J. Abrams' 'Felicity' made a choice more shocking than any twist seen on 'Lost': producers decided Keri Russell should cut her famous long, curly hair, shooting ratings down straight into a Dharma hatch. But there's something even more shocking about 'Felicity': just how unhinged the series was in the first place. In our latest episode, Allison and Kate revisit the pilot ...
I Am The Cute One: A Nostalgia Podcast Presents 'She's The Man' w/ @lucyontheground
February 14, 2022 12:00 - 52 minutes - 71.4 MBJoin I Am The Cute One hosts Donny and Chelsea, and special guest Lucy of @lucyontheground, for a revisiting of a Shakespearean masterpiece: She's The Man. The Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum film is both chaotic and iconic in the Shakespeare canon. Make sure to subscribe to I Am The Cute One podcast, and don't forget to review TV. Watch. Repeat. Until next week!
All That
February 07, 2022 11:00 - 46 minutes - 63.5 MBAll That started off with not a bang, but a bop: A theme song from none other than the soon-to-be-discovered TLC. It was just one way the series was ahead of its time, and ahead of its grown-up predecessor, 'Saturday Night Live.' While 'SNL' struggled with accusations of being a white boy's club, 'All That' featured a diverse cast since 1994's Season 1, showing that humor comes from forms, and outside of the Harvard Lampoon. (Not only that, but 'All That' featured girls playing male politicia...
Total Request Live
January 31, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 79.2 MBIf frosted tips show up in Times Square, without TRL to show them, do they make an impact? It's the ultimate chicken-and-the-egg question of the late '90s: Was 'Total Request Live' responsible for Britney, *NSYCN, and some of the biggest acts that still remain famous today, or was the show that launched hundreds of fender-benders on Broadway only famous because of this generation's biggest stars? It's a question Allison and Kate ponder in our latest episode, which delves into the history of ...
Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica
January 24, 2022 11:00 - 37 minutes - 51.2 MBBefore 'Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,' there was 'The Osbournes.' But just two years after Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's break-up put an end to the televised honeymoon, there was 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians.' And America's First Family has these early 2000s B-list singers to thank for ushering in an era of relatable celebrity reality TV. So, on this week's new episode. Allison and Kate decided to toast 'Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica' by exploring the history of the series. What was it...
7th Heaven
January 17, 2022 11:00 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MBPlenty of strange things happened on '7th Heaven' — sisters kissing brothers, 5-year-olds getting drug tested, hamsters being named Jesus and Mom — but there is perhaps no moment more bananas than 13-year-old Lucy Camden discussing her crush for... Prince Charles. The moment occurs in the pilot episode of the series (way to start strong!), the focus of our latest episode. Allison and Kate dive into one of the most bizarre series to ever hit the WB, and learn about the hole creator Brenda Ha...
Family Guy
January 10, 2022 11:00 - 46 minutes - 63.2 MBTo the enjoyment of many a teenaged boy — and to the chagrin of many a 'South Park' staff member — 'Family Guy' premiered in 1999 with a new animation technique that would later be used in Emmy winners like '30 Rock': the cutaway shot. These shots were ridiculous, they were random, they were written by manatees, some might say, but they also felt warm and cozy to a generation of viewers who loved nostalgic pop culture references before meme accounts took up that mindshare. Kate was one of t...
Hannah Montana
January 03, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 65.5 MB'Hannah Montana' was the tale of two lives, lived by Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana, but, behind-the-scenes, its star was dealing with her own triple identity as Miley Cyrus and Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana. Perhaps there is no better example of a star's career made and hindered by the Disney Machine than Cyrus, who, as a teenager, went from being Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter to one of the most famous individuals in the world in less than one year. It's a tale of fame that turns out to be no...
American Idol
December 27, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 90.5 MBNo one wears a dress over jeans quite like Kelly Clarkson. And no one sings quite like her either. Though, watching the pilot episode of 'American Idol,' you wouldn't know it, given the eventual Season 1 winner wasn't even featured in the first, second, or third episode of the series that launched millions of record sales. Read many an 'American Idol' article, and you'll find producers have a revisionist history about the first season — though many claim to have recognized Kelly's star powe...
Drop Dead Diva
December 20, 2021 11:00 - 46 minutes - 64.3 MBFrom the ‘90s, well into the late 2000s, there was one type of rom-com heroine: She was funny and clumsy, and saddled by the horrors of bad hair and leftover Chinese food. That is, until she met her Prince Charming — and a brush. Because a $2.99 purchase at CVS was all she needed to conform to the beauty standard. After all, she was the beauty standard. In 2009, representation as a concept might as well have been considered a bad word in Hollywood. Rachael Leigh Cook and Sandra Bullock were...
Damages
December 13, 2021 11:00 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MBYoung talented upstart gets big job with powerful woman, much to the dismay of her loved ones. It's a log line that could describe both 2006's 'The Devil Wears Prada' and 2007's 'Damages,' the FX series about an intimidating force and her naively hard-working protégé. So is it just the dark timeline version of the popular rom-com? That's just one of the topics Allison and Kate discuss in our latest episode, in which they delve into the history of one of the first peak TV series to feature an...
Mulaney
December 06, 2021 11:00 - 53 minutes - 74.1 MBThe most shocking thing about 'Mulaney,' John Mulaney's short-lived sitcom on Fox? That the comedian actually liked it. A victim of a comedy style gone bygone, 'Mulaney' didn't quite past muster when its first pilot failed at NBC, only for the series to go up in flames in just 13 episodes on Fox. So how did it happen? How did comedy's most beloved and relevant stars tank so badly with an unexpectedly dated approach to sitcoms? It was a question Allison and Kate needed to answer, so they dov...
Curb Your Enthusiasm
November 29, 2021 11:00 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBImagine a show not about nothing, but about the minutiae within that nothing. Now make it improv. Oh, and to take it one step further, make it star a beleaguered middle-aged man most well known for the back of his head on 'Seinfeld.' It's a concept that would horrify most network executives, but, for HBO in 1999, 'Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm' was such a winning idea that they provided no red tape and no notes (no notes!) to its creator-star, Larry David. Twenty-two years later, that c...
Just Shoot Me
November 22, 2021 11:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBChances are, if you watched 'Seinfeld,' 'Friends,' and/or 'Frasier' in the 1990s, you also watched 'Just Shoot Me.' That's partly because the series aired on NBC's must-see TV Thursdays between 'Friends' and 'Seinfeld,' but, also, because the series was just so darn good. And I say good, not great — though 'Just Shoot Me' falls short of iconic status, it was a crowd-pleaser consistent enough to last seven seasons and 148 episodes. So, in our latest episode, Allison and Kate pay homage to al...
Ugly Betty
November 15, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 77.9 MBBetty Suarez is one of a kind. Well, kind of. Because following the success of the 1999 Colombian hit 'Yo Soy Betty, la Fea,' a whopping 130 countries had their own versions of Betty Suarez. But that doesn't make 'Ugly Betty's title character — brought to the U.S. in 2006 — any less unique and beloved. Which is why we're excited to celebrate the groundbreaking series in our latest episode. For our trip down the rabbit hole while researching the history of Ugly Betty, we found creator Silvio ...
Dexter
November 08, 2021 11:00 - 53 minutes - 74 MBCan a serial killer be likable? Or, even... relatable? That's what Showtime set out to explore in 2006, when it debuted 'Dexter,' a series that offered an antihero like no other. The result? An incredibly exciting, watchable, and fun show... for the first four seasons, that is. Following the debut of 'Dexter: New Blood,' Allison and Kate research the history of 'Dexter,' and learned many things, including the intense way Michael C. Hall prepared for the role, who might have played Deb, and ...
Frasier
November 01, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MBFew actors outside of 'The Simpsons' can say they played a single character for over two decades. But Kelsey Grammer has the distinction of playing Dr. Frasier Crane for over 20 years — 30, if you count the upcoming 'Frasier' revival. But how did this pedantic, pretentious psychiatrist also become one of TV's most beloved characters? That's what we try to find out in our latest episode, during which Allison and Kate investigate the history of 'Frasier,' starting from his roots on 'Cheers.' ...
Girlfriend's Guide To Divorce
October 25, 2021 10:00 - 45 minutes - 62.6 MBPerhaps Bravo's first scripted series shouldn't have run on Bravo at all. Because, if 'Girlfriend's Guide To Divorce' — Marti Noxon's well-cast and well-written portrayal of divorce in your 40s — had run on Showtime or HBO, it inevitably would have washed down like a crisp Sauvignon Blanc for critics. Instead, it was derided as a 'Sex and the City' wannabe, despite its complexity that helped it last for four seasons. Still, the Lisa Edelstein-starring series has its fans — including Kate an...
House
October 18, 2021 12:45 - 53 minutes - 73 MBToday, the flawed antihero is basically a requirement for any series in the post-"peak TV" era. But, in 2004, when Fox introduced us to the Vicodin-addicted, droll but brilliant Dr. House, he was an exception to the rule: a central character that was, at times, entirely unlikable. It was a novel concept for network TV (HBO had already wrestled with the concept via The Sopranos, of course), and one that allowed the series to last for a stunning eight seasons — at one time in 2008, becoming t...
Veep
October 11, 2021 10:00 - 52 minutes - 71.5 MBThere was perhaps no greater spin on American politics than the 'The West Wing.' And there was perhaps no more accurate portrayal of American politics than 'Veep.' Aaron Sorkin's series was an idealistic drama, a practice in wish fulfillment in which the person sitting at the Oval Office is as obsessed with ethics as he is with metaphor-filled monologues. Armando Iannucci's comedy, meanwhile, featured politicians who spewed lines like "Jolly Green Jizzface." Yet, inside Washington, one reig...
Glee
October 04, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBWhen the glee club in 'Glee' sang "Don't Stop Believin'" in the pilot episode, was it a triumphant moment of the underdog, or a plea from the series that would soon fall so far from grace? One could argue either, but everyone can agree the series premiere that launched a million wedding playlists is a classic, and not just because of the Journey hat-tip. Satire, songs, and Sue Sylvester — 'Glee' appeared to have it all, prior to a sophomore slump for the ages. So, for our latest episode, Al...
Gilmore Girls
September 27, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.5 MBThe best trips down memory lane are the ones that take you past Luke's Diner, Miss Patty's School of Ballet, and, of course, the Dragonfly Inn. So it's no surprise that Stars Hollow — the fictional 'Gilmore Girls' town that inspires autumnal wanderlust every year — was born out of a memory of a trip. En route to New York at the turn of the millennium, Amy Sherman-Palladino drove through Washington, Connecticut, and realized she was in a town so idyllic, it might as well have been fantasy. S...
Heroes
September 20, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 57.3 MB"Save the cheerleader, save the world." It was the rallying cry that led 2006's 'Heroes' to run faster than a speeding bullet to the top of the ratings, albeit, unexpectedly. But while it might have attracted over 14 million viewers with its promising premise, superhero lore, and, of course, Milo Ventimiglia, the series needed its own savior — from itself. In the latest episode of our TV origin stories podcast, Allison and Kaate explore the history of Heroes, and its unceremonious downfall....
Survivor
September 13, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 86.1 MBKelly Wiglesworth might be the first person in reality TV history to utter the phrase, "I'm not here to make friends," but the person who truly embodied it most was Richard Hatch, the arrogant-yet-brilliant winner of the first historic season of 'Survivor.' Without Richard, we wouldn't have reality TV friction, we wouldn't have reality TV alliances, and we might not even have 40 seasons of the CBS series that exploded on the small screen in 2000. (Although, we must give Sue Hawk and her "rats...
30 Rock
September 06, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 93.7 MBIn 2008, two comedies inspired by the backstage machinations of 'Saturday Night Live' were poised to air on NBC. One appeared to have a great advantage: Aaron Sorkin, the writer behind 'Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip' who had just finished a successful stint bringing the White House to life on 'The West Wing.' The dark horse, that seemed unlikely to get past the starting block, was '30 Rock,' a quirky comedy series starring and penned by Tina Fey, the former 'SNL' head writer who had never bef...
BONUS: 'Not You Guillermo,' A 'What We Do In The Shadows' Podcast
September 04, 2021 16:17 - 36 minutes - 50.2 MBDo you like human drambuie or genuine Arizonan nacho chips? Or maybe you’re just a human podcast fan who likes vampires that live in Staten Island? Either way, we've got a show for you! While you await a new episode of 'TV Watch Repeat,' enjoy 'Not You, Guillermo,' a new 'What We Do In The Shadows' podcast from The Dipp, hosted by comedians Patrick Monahan & Nicole Conlan. They'll be doing episode recaps of Season 3 of 'What We Do In The Shadows' and talking to people who were there behind ...
Lost
August 30, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBLost showrunner Damon Lindelof once said, "We did 121 hours of Lost. Arguably only 15 to 20 of them were subpar, bordering on turds." While that might be true when it comes to some episodes (Jack's tattoos, anyone?), 'Lost's pilot? It's as damn near as perfect as any two hours of television could be. And it's the subject of our latest episode. 'Lost' had an origin story rivaling the Island itself. An idea born from a network executive — and executed last-minute by J.J. Abrams, without any n...
Bunheads
August 23, 2021 10:00 - 47 minutes - 64.9 MBAnyone who has ever seen an Amy Sherman-Palladino project knows she's got rhythm. So it should have been inevitable that she would venture into the world of ballet. Years after quitting the sport herself for a career as a writer on 'Rosanne,' the 'Gilmore Girls' creator found herself craving a return to ballet basics, roping in a Broadway star, Sutton Foster, to help her realize the dream. And hence, in 2012, we got the gone-but-not-forgotten 'Bunheads.' During this episode, Allison and Kat...
Next
August 16, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 50.6 MBThe early 2000s brought our civilization much shame in the form of Justin Timberlake's ramen hair, jeans low enough to require a Brazilian bikini wax, and MTV's 'Next.' You know it, because you watched it excessively and guiltlessly, desiring a new kind of 'Blind Date,' but with a Perez Hilton flair. So, on this week's new episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.,' Allison and Kate investigate the finale of the series — not the pilot, per usual, because the first five seasons of 'Next' appear to be s...
Riverdale
August 09, 2021 10:00 - 59 minutes - 81.4 MBIn honor of 'Riverdale's return this week, enjoy our re-release of TV. Watch. Repeat.'s unlocked 'Riverdale' episode! Imagine, if you will, a 'Riverdale' in an alternate universe, where the comics were played for comedy, time travel was a central plotline, and Archie was played by none other than... Louis C.K. Believe it or not, it almost happened. Thankfully, though, we instead got the 2017 release of 'Riverdale' as we know it, a dark take on an old classic starring Cole Sprouse, Lili Rein...
The Simple Life (w/ Claire Downs)
August 02, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBBefore 'The Simple Life,' life was really not all that simple for Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. The two famous friends were tabloid fodder during an era that wasn't too kind to starlets — and a sex tape and drug possession didn't really help matters. But it did help ratings, so they were given a series, which turned into a massive reality success for Fox. How has the series aged — or increased relevance in a new era? That's what Allison and Kate look to find out, when they're joined by spe...
Living Single
July 26, 2021 10:00 - 51 minutes - 70.4 MBIt's hard to believe — with the bevy of young-singles comedies on television today — that young working professionals were once ignored by the small screen. Then, in 1993, 'Living Single' came along and changed all that — and so much more. The series, created by Yvette Lee Bowser and starring an ensemble cast of comedy legends, not only broke barriers for women of color on TV, but also went on to inspire an entire genre of television. The series is the focus of this week's episode of TV. Wa...
Big Brother
July 19, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBIf CBS found success with a perverse version of 'The Swiss Family Robinson' in 2000, it's no wonder the network looked to Orwellian literature for its next big reality series. And 'Big Brother' — originally a hit series in the Netherlands, named for the omnipresent eye in 1984 — proved to be wise investment for the network... even if the first season fell as flat as a bowl of slop. How did that series look back in 2000, and how has it evolved into what it is today? That's exactly the topic ...
Friday Night Lights
July 12, 2021 10:00 - 59 minutes - 82.2 MBClear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Even though 'Friday Night Lights' almost did — many times. Despite the beloved NBC-turned-DirecTV series being a fan and reviewer favorite, the series fumbled in the ratings, threatening its existence year after year. But credit sheer tenacity (or the power of Connie Britton's hair) for 'Friday Night Lights' continuing for five seasons, and delivering some of the best television a network has ever delivered. And the pilot? Well, it's nothing less than a ...
Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives

If so, then you might enjoy our latest episode, which dives (heh) right inside the history of living legend Guy Fieri and his long-running Food Network behemoth, 'Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives.' Allison and Kate learn some behind-the-scenes details about the series, discover how exactly Guy got his iconic hairstyle, and discuss how he influenced pop culture. Plus, they dig into the unfounded derision that plagued Fieri's early career, and just what ...
Hart Of Dixie
June 28, 2021 10:00 - 51 minutes - 70.5 MBThis week, Allison and Kate explore the history of 'Hart Of Dixie,' the CW comedy and Rachel Bilson vehicle that left hearts pounding — and not just because of Wade Kinsella's shirtlessness. In this episode, Allison and Kate chat Wilson Bethel's history with 'The O.C.,' where you might have seen the 'Hart of Dixie' set before, and the evolution of George. Plus, the impossible-to-ignore problems about the celebration of the Old South, and the 'Friday Night Lights' reunion that led Scott Porter...

Siesta Key w/ Table Flipping With Alyssa and Taylor's Taylor Misiak and Alyssa Litman
June 21, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.2 MBThere's no such thing as bad press. At least, that's how the saying goes. So perhaps MTV's 'Siesta Key' knew exactly what it was doing when it kicked off with a controversy that led to a mass boycott — and even death threats. But — cue the record scratch — how did we get here? So is the topic of conversation during the latest episode of 'TV. Watch. Repeat.,' in which Allison and Kate are joined by pop culture experts and 'Table Flipping With Alyssa and Taylor' podcast hosts Taylor Misiak an...
The Mindy Project
June 14, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MBShe's Sandra Bullock! But, mostly, she's Mindy Kaling, the brain behind the 2012 beloved comedy, 'The Mindy Project.' It was a landmark series, and not just because Kaling was one of the few Indian-American showrunners in the industry (not to mention, one of the few women showrunners in the industry). The Mindy Project also fully embraced the romantic-comedy genre — a genre, at that point, that was still largely seen as silly and trite. But if there was anyone who could achieve critical succe...
