“Wow. Ok, you want reality? Here you go, chief. The show's too predictable. The girl's in danger, the dog saves her from the creepy English guy, we get it. There's always a happy ending. And our focus groups tells us 18 to 35 year olds are unhappy. They're not happy with happy. So, maybe you should, I don't know, spend a little less time worrying about the dog's Method acting and more time figuring out how to stop 20 year olds in Topeka from changing the channel. Because if you lose so much as half a rating point, so help me, I will fire everyone in this room, starting with you! How's that for real?”

Mindy, who's the head lady of the TV station Bolt airs on, first appears on screen when the director is reviewing the latest episode. She states that the viewers are "unhappy with happy", and makes it clear that she won't hesitate to fire anyone if they don't do anything to keep their viewers from changing the channel. She also tries to get Penny to understand that she needs to be a big girl and let Bolt go after he disappears.
