Because they were already married from the outset, there was none of that "will they or won't they" tension. Nonetheless, there was plenty of angles to explore in their relationship. I really enjoyed the first several seasons - it went downhill when they added a baby to the mix. I mention this because I think there is plenty for the writers to explore with the Danny/Mindy relationship. Actually, just thought of how much I enjoyed the developing relationship between Chandler and Monica on friends - that's probably a better example. I thought their story was far more enjoyable than Ross and Rachel's. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-89716617939583832762014-09-17T13:32:20.040-04:002014-09-17T13:32:20.040-04:00I appreciate your article.

With some minor things, I think this show is very consistent compared to other comedies that treat every episode like a new series. Your article was able to present that very well and how the premiere does relate to the show as a whole. When I first watched the episode, I felt like I was missing a lot of things. In the office everyone is basically "they are a couple, now get back to work." It's almost like no one acknowledged that they were a couple. Even Morgan was selling his cousin Lou to Mindy. Also the promos stated that it was about them getting together for the first time but it seems that storyline ended up on the cutting room floor and the episode ended up being about office boundaries. I felt like we've fast forwarded to an established Danny and Mindy who already have a rhythm in place until something (like Danny's Secret) get's revealed. I can get past it so whatever. The title did seem off. It's a great title for a different type of episode. That's why I feel that the premiere should have been an hour long to fill in some gaps but it can only be 22min. Besides the choppy editing, it was a good episode. Some things I did feel weird like the braces rant and playing Frozen but I like randomness so I'll let it slide. Frankly, the one thing I can't forgive is Peter thinking Jeremy is gay. Peter has seen Jeremy with two women in his apartment. It didn't make sense. Writers Fail. Lastly, we can't judge how the series is going to turn out by just watching the premiere. We have to move past the premiere and see what happens next. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
