🎙️😂 In this episode of The Rank Podcast, John dives into Sitcom Rankings with a look at The Mindy Project — focusing on Season 3, Episode 9: “How to Lose a Mom in Ten Days.” This hilarious entry centers on the ever-present and ever-opinionated Annette Castellano, Danny’s (Chris Messina) mom (guest-starring Rhea Perlman), whose constant presence in Mindy and Danny’s life starts pushing Mindy to the brink. Trying to give Danny some space and protect her own sanity, Mindy decides the solution is simple: she’ll help Annette get a life of her own. So she sets her up on a blind date, hoping that a little romance might loosen Annette’s grip on Danny — but of course things don’t go exactly as planned.

John breaks down why “How to Lose a Mom in Ten Days” works as both a character and relationship episode — it pushes Danny’s mom dynamic to its comedic brink, gives Rhea Perlman plenty of room to shine, and turns a well-meaning plan into absolute sitcom havoc. Tune in as John ranks this episode on the Sitcom Rankings, highlights the funniest moments and most awkward beats, and asks the big question: Is this one of the most memorable Mom and Son misadventures in The Mindy Project canon?
