Kaling - and most of the cast, for that matter - is so good at casual, frank deliveries like that. ![]() Then the joke just builds as Morgan immediately starts stripping and Mindy calmly explains that it was a misdial. That right there is worth a snort because there’s just something naturally funny about the beefy, socially unique Morgan, played to perfection by Ike Barinholtz. In Tuesday’s Season 1 finale, Mindy is trying to have Skype sex with her boyfriend when - in the process of removing her shirt - she accidentally calls Morgan. The comedy style of “Mindy” is often unexpected. Obviously, the weakest “Mindys” fall short of the best “New Girls.” And, certainly, those early episodes were not great, which is why the question of “‘Mindy’ or ‘New Girl?’ ” can only be fairly answered if you’ve seen every episode of each series. (Then again, I wouldn’t kick Zooey Deschanel out of bed for eating crackers, either.) Actually, that bias might not work in the show’s favor, because my expectations were so high for “Mindy” out of the gate. ![]() I’ll admit to a small bias: I do like Mindy Kaling quite a lot. ![]() Maybe it’s just a matter of the particular styles of comedy, but anecdotally, I can say I inadvertently laugh or snort out loud a few times during every episode of “Mindy” and rarely during “New Girl.” I suppose I’ll be the first person to say this, but: “The Mindy Project” is better than “New Girl.” It has been since about January, and Tuesday’s season finale was yet another indication that Mindy and the boys have surpassed Jess and the boys in the laugh category.
