Mindy's out, Kara's in

Star who was named after Pam Dawber's character on Mork and Mindy? Check. Three seasons? Check. A network to air season four? Check. Well, it would have one, but Fox is breaking up with The Mindy Project. You heard right - the network has canceled Mindy Kaling’s romantic comedy. The show, which boasts a cult audience but has been dogged by low ratings, wrapped its third season in March. There may be a second life for the show, with a big upside. The show’s producer, Universal Television, is currently in serious talks with Hulu for multiple additional seasons. Hulu is a logical suitor, as it already owns the streaming rights to all of the show’s episodes. But enough about that because there's something definitely worth jacking off to next season - CBS has handed out a series order to its DC Comics adaptation Supergirl. The drama — which had a hefty series commitment penalty attached — stars Glee and Whiplash breakout Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, who was born on Krypton but has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin since arriving on Earth. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. I say bring it on, because as the latest comic book show on the Big Five networks, it joins Flash, Arrow, and iZombie (The CW); Gotham (Fox); NBC's bubble drama Constantine; as well as ABC's Marvel dramas Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter. While Constantine is considered a long shot to come back, a renewal of at least one of those shows per network would give each of the Big Five networks a comic show.
