🛹✨ On this episode of The Rank Podcast, John continues his Sitcom Rankings series with a hilarious dive into the 2012 comedy gem The Mindy Project, created by and starring Mindy Kaling. This week, he’s reviewing Season 2, Episode 7 – “Sk8er Man.”
Mindy Lahiri finds herself questioning her romantic choices when she starts dating a free-spirited skater named Graham—played by the always-charismatic Timothy Olyphant. He’s cool, spontaneous, and full of surprises… but is he just a fun detour or a total disaster waiting to happen? Meanwhile, back at Shulman & Associates, the gang reacts to Mindy’s unconventional relationship with a mix of confusion and concern—especially when Graham shows up in a Fedora and rollerblades.
John explores how this episode brilliantly blends absurd comedy with sharp commentary on adult relationships, maturity, and the fear of settling down. Is Sk8er Man a top-tier standout in Mindy’s chaotic romantic journey? Or does it wipe out on the sitcom leaderboard?
