Your descriptions of Murphy and Adler, as well as the long list of accolades, make me think that this show might be more the victim of post production meddling by executives and investors rather than the writers themselves.  What probably was envisioned as a sort of "Mitchell and Cameron get a spin off" was reduced to…
