I think the scripts are already assembled by some kind of sitcom cliche randomiser. Or possibly a bunch of monkeys with typewriters. Eventually, you might get Shakespeare, but until then... keep flinging the poop, guys.
It used to be that the scripts were written to fit the characters. Now the characters are changed to fit the scripts. It's just a cookie-cutter romcom now. What happened to the four brilliant scientists who were socially inept? Now they're just four buffoons with relationship problems. They could just as well be stockboys at Walmart. Science is rarely mentioned anymore. Where did the intelligent, clever, witty dialogue go? How long before Cousin Oliver shows up? The show is just shell of its former self. Except of course to the giddy fangirls who it caters to now.
