Ratings Review: THE MINDY PROJECT

The one thing good I can say about the ratings of THE MINDY PROJECT is that it is NOT the other new FOX sitcom, BEN & KATE. MINDY benefited, some-what, by following NEW GIRL and not RAISING HOPE.

FOX has renewed the series for a second season, staying in its Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. slot, after NEW GIRL. It should be know instantly if THE MINDY PROJECT will grow in season two, or continue to loser viewers out of its lead in.

For the season, THE MINDY PROJECT averaged just 3.08 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in Adults 18-49.
