Who doesn’t love Tamra’s witty one-liners? The nurse jumps at every chance to educate Mindy about the latest trends — and issue her coworkers unvarnished jibes when they’re out of line. We only wish we could be as cool as Tamra.

Each and every episode of The Mindy Project sees Morgan trying to live his best life — and often failing hilariously. Arguably, Morgan’s most endearing moment to date is — spoiler alert! — a failed proposal attempt that lands him in the hospital after his clumsiness results in an injury.

In each and every episode, Mindy takes on challenges that modern women face each day — and owns them.

Quirky British transplant Jeremy has changed greatly over the course of the show's six seasons and is now more "all of us" than ever. From his "gin/tonic/lacework" time outside the office to his hit-or-miss approach to pickup lines and dating, Jeremy's combination of gawkiness and self-confidence is irresistible.

From the moment Morgan and Peter send seductive texts from Mindy's phone to Cliff, to the time Mindy and her coworkers attempt to keep the holistic practice upstairs from poaching clients, Mindy's original and new medical practices are full of hysterical hijinx.

In Mindy’s world, a first date is the beginning of a sweeping romantic comedy narrative; a single act of kindness can save the world; and a vibrant ensemble is the perfect solution to a gloomy day. Mindy’s sunny attitude has been a hallmark of the upbeat show for six years and has inspired us to turn our frowns upside down on a weekly basis. We'll miss the titular character's signature charm after the show concludes this season, but her cheery wisdom is truly timeless.
