Mindy: A show that averaged just a 1.1 rating in adults 18-49 and a mere 2.3 million total viewers
Rap “music” is quite popular with a certain thuglife / hoodrat section of the populace as well. That does not mean I will surrender what levels of good taste I have acquired over the years and begin voluntarily listening to it any time soon -or watching T.M.P., either. I’ve seen better acting from Lee Majors. Or Mrs. Bill during one of her “re-inventing” interviews.
I’d sooner watch Mrs Obama starring in an episode of The Food Network’s cooking television programme.

I should point out as well that Star Trek: Voyager lasted for several seasons despite being mind-numbingly boring beyond words, whereas Firefly lasted a single season and gathered a huge fanbase straight off.
Not every renewed series on the telly is chosen to be so based upon its merits. Sometimes the network brass has an agenda to press.
Not every canceled programme is discontinued because it truly has nothing to recommend it. Behind-the-scenes politics is a fact of life and can occasionally override even a nascent series just beginning to develop its loyal fanbase.
Still say TMP is so boring it should be the recommended Rx for insomnia.
