    In Eesha Pandit’s essay, “The Unending Heartbreak of Great Expectations,” the author proposes that Hollywood’s bias against females, especially females that do not fall into the category of stereotypical and are of a different race, is the main idea of the article. The author refers to the TV sitcom, “The Mindy Project,” as a method of illuminating the main idea. “The Mindy Project” has the first Indian-American actress as the main character. Pandit uses a narrative reference involving Lena Dunham’s “Girls,” to show the favor Hollywood has towards white, stereotypical females.

    Originally titled, It’s Messy, The Mindy Project is an original program created by and starring Mindy Kaling, commissioned by NBC due to her success as a writer, actor, and executive producer on their hit show The Office, which was reaching the end of its run. The network ultimately passed on the pilot due to the female-lead heavy programming schedule of that particular season, which included, Whitney, The New Normal, Save Me, and Parks & Recreation (Hibberd). Once released the program was immediately picked up by FOX, a rare move, as networks do not usually release their programs to other networks, at least until the end of the season to prevent the competition of other networks using their own original programming (Lotz, 117) However, this…
