It would have been cheaper to poach some Family Guy writers. They could knock something like this out in their sleep and they wouldn't charge as much as Mindy Kaling.

As for Mindy Kaling, is this the kind of stuff her audience likes? I don't watch her projects but she always struck me as the answer to the question of "What if Tina Fey was ten years younger less funny and a person of color."

She strikes me as someone whose audience's sensibilities would "fit" better in a cartoon that's more like Bob's Burgers. Something that's there for the sole purpose of being "liked" when you want to prove you like animated comedies but can't bring yourself to name the ones that people actually like because they are too gauche
