One trite line after another.

That applies, IMO, equally to Big Bang Theory. The triteness is masked by a studio audience trained to laugh loudly at every line spoken, including ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye.’ And the BBT is one of the top shows on TV. Go figure.

I’ve never watched that show. It just looks stupid. I don’t really watch sitcoms anymore since Seinfeld went off the air.

Mostly I watch Netflix or Showtime content with the exception of This is Us and also sometimes Survivor which my wife still enjoys.

even though shot in front of a live audience, an artificial laugh track is still used with Murphy Brown, just like a laugh track is always used with ALL network “comedies”, because the “comedies” are so lame that without a laugh track no one would ever realize anything they said was supposed to be funny ...
