I don’t watch
One of the few sitcoms I watch. Great characters, and excellent writing. Not sure about the new half sister being added, but overall it’s a great show.
I don’t know that adding more characters will help. The show is slipping & adding more arcs to try & refresh things may not serve any purpose other than to drag things out another season.
