What's with all the touchy-feely exposition among

I'm willing to bet there were too many women in the writers' room. When guys have a few beers they get crazy and come up with funny ideas. When girls drink they get lacrimose and melancholic and romantic, especially when it's that time of the month.
Both sexes like comedy, but not many men watch the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime movies. Enough with the bathetic subplots among secondary characters - stick to the premise.
