Hulu picks up FOX's trash -- streaming service revives cancelled 'The Mindy Project'

I have never seen The Mindy Project, but was always perplexed by its allure. Based on advertisements, the show looked horrible, and from what I read, its ratings were not great. After 3 seasons, I was elated when FOX cancelled the show; it makes room for something new.

Today, The Mindy Project returns from the dead thanks to  an unlikely source -- Hulu. While the service is known for streaming already-aired network shows (including Mindy) and some original programming, picking up the discarded trash of the FOX network for new episodes hardly seems like a good move.

"We are excited to officially announce that Hulu will deliver season four -- that's 26 new episodes -- of the critically acclaimed series The Mindy Project. The series will join Hulu's Original Programming slate in a new agreement with Universal Television. Mindy has always been a beloved member of the Hulu family and we know her millions of fans will be eager to find out what Mindy still has in store for the next chapter", says Hulu.

The company further explains, "subscribers will be able to stream past and future episodes of The Mindy Project exclusively on Hulu. Since its network premiere in 2012, The Mindy Project has been a top show on Hulu and has consistently remained popular with Hulu subscribers. All past episodes were previously acquired in a library deal with NBCUniversal announced in April 2014".

If you like the show, I am sure you are happy about this news. Hell, if my preconceived notions about the show are off base, please tell me in the comments and I will give it a go.

With that said, sometimes it seems like FOX will put any horrible show on the air, so if it is cancelled, it probably deserved it. Then again, the network was wrong about Family Guy and Arrested Development too. Hmm.
