## Resource

In this episode of The Rank Podcast, John continues his Sitcom Rankings series with a look at the 2012 sitcom The Mindy Project, breaking down Season 3, Episode 21: “Best Man.” As Peter and Lauren’s wedding approaches, Peter asks Mindy to be his best man after his original choice backs out, throwing Mindy into the chaos of wedding preparations. At the same time, Mindy becomes increasingly concerned about Danny’s commitment to their relationship when he fails to show up for an important dinner with her parents. Meanwhile, Morgan overhears part of a conversation and mistakenly believes Danny may not be the father of Mindy’s baby, sending him on a frantic and ridiculous mission to investigate all of Mindy’s former boyfriends. As the wedding festivities unfold, tensions rise between Mindy and Danny, forcing the couple to confront serious questions about their future together.
