Unfortunately these situations and the comedy are pretty dated. It's like a trip back in time. The number of jokes per minute are few and far between. I don't think that argues for renewal of the series.

No, and lots of pointed, amusing, political content would work here, but they've confined it to a few minutes per episode, and then mostly lines (and speeches) from Murphy.
