"To be fair, it’s unlikely any new or new-ish show will ever put up “Big Bang”-level ratings given the state of the business. Still, it’s worth shooting for, and it’s worth breaking the CBS template a little: An embrace of diversity in a comedy lineup where actors of color don’t have any lead roles. An idea that’s familiar but tweaked just enough to make it feel fresh, a la “Mom’s” often dark take on family comedy or “Big Bang” making nerds the center of the show rather than just the butt of the joke. Something."
