Top 20 New Shows of 2012: #14

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. But this year, during both the spring and the fall, produced many impressive new television series. As 2012 closes out and 2013 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#14: The Mindy Project
It’s great to see Mindy Kaling break free of the deteriorating “The Office” and to assume a lead role in a comedy she herself created. This show works well because of a fun ensemble, headed by Kaling and Chris Messina, and while it has a few kinks to work out, it knows how to be funny even if it’s not always consistent.

Best Episode: “Danny Castellano is My Gynecologist”
