yes, they've VERY unsuccessfully changed the vision of the show as classic sitcom formula to a poorly conceived and written rom com with heavy emphasis on sentimentality over comedy. It's a comedy that sees humour as secondary to its romantic plotting which I find absolutely baffling. But then again they still have millions of viewers so I guess it might be more of a modification of humour to something which doesn't tickle my fancy.
We're on the same wavelength in terms of thinking they've run out of ideas. It's easier to insert more characters to expand the plot lines (and at the same time simplify the plots so as to accommodate the time allowed)or make the humour insulting and nasty because it gets an instant reaction as opposed to inclusion-humour which requires more planning and precise execution. Very lazy writing whatever way you call it.
