  • When I saw him in the last few episodes of Mindy, I couldn’t help but love him even when he was a douche. I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t have his own show! Problem solved!

  • I was sad to see him go on The Mindy Project. I might have to watch this. I’m not into Seth MacFarlane at all, but Tommy Dewey is just so charming.

  • his character is still the best thing on ‘mindy project’ so far. one show’s missed opportunity is another one’s gain.
