No matter how many projects Mindy Kaling has in the works, some fans will still see her OfficeIt’s Kelly Kapoor. Kaling not only played the character but also wrote and produced the mockumentary for NBC. Sure, the show has found a second life on the air with new fans connected to the chaos of Dunder Mifflin, but some of the themes and humor covered in the classic sitcom may not work today. Even the The sex life of college girls The creator isn’t sure what the show is about, as he explained why it wouldn’t work for TV today.
The multi-hyphenated took an honest look at the comedy series as it aired on abc hello America. When asked about the classic workplace sitcom, Kaling opined that Kapoor would be written off after becoming a social media influencer. He then he said everything Office the characters would have already been written off. Now that young viewers are watching the show, the comedian cringed at the prospect of introducing the NBC sitcom to her two children, saying:
This show is so inappropriate now. The writers that I’m still in touch with now, we’re still talking about how much of this show we probably couldn’t do right now. Tastes have changed and honestly what shocks people has changed a lot now. I think that’s actually one of the reasons the show is popular because people feel like there’s something fearless or taboo that it talks about in the show.
Time Office offered some meme-worthy moments during its original run, some episodes and jokes haven’t aged well. In 2021, the popular Office The episode “Diversity Day” was reportedly pulled by Comedy Central for inappropriate racial depictions. Besides the first season episode, there are many notable episodes in the show’s nine seasons. However, the series remains popular across multiple generations as one of the most streamed series during the pandemic.
Despite her initial fears about letting her kids watch workplace comedies, Kaling has softened her stance a bit. CMG extension Host George Stephanopoulos said his 15-year-old daughter got drunk on the show because of the pandemic. After hearing the story, the TV writer may have been able to introduce the show to them as teenagers.
I think maybe never. …I think when they’re teenagers, I think they’ll probably want to [watch it]. It seems like a 15-year-old is the basis of The Office right now.
Despite the mature nature of the comedy series, it has developed a loyal fan base among Gen Z and possibly Gen Alpha. The versatile wants to wait until her kids are older to introduce them to the ever-present “That’s what she said.”
Of course, Mindy Kaling has other plans that may be too ripe for her kids right now. With I never inspired by Kaling’s teenage years, you will be able to watch the Netflix series almost simultaneously with Office. It will be some time before they can see The sex life of college girlswhich is currently available through an HBO Max subscription. Ditto for the next one Scooby-Doo divided Velma.
Meanwhile, you can watch all episodes of Office through a Peacock subscription.
