Robert Heinlein once wrote that all fiction follows one of 3 plot lines: The Little Tailor, The Man Who Learned Better and Boy Meets Girl.

NO story! NOTHING happens!
You read? You read on TV?
I don’t think so-called ‘relationship humor’ is what this show is all about.
I would think coffee machine would be more accurate.

I can remember watching an interview with Garry Marshall. In it, he mentioned that when they wrote episodes for “Laverne and Shirley”, he and his writers would take scripts from “The Odd Couple” and re-tweak them to fit that show but then would sometimes keep the same scenes and dialogue word by word. Nobody noticed the near duplicate similarities between the “Odd Couple” and “Laverne and Shirley” apparently, lol.

Also most TV shows have two plots. A and B.
A is the main one and they have a second one, I guess to keep you from getting bored. Rarely there will be 3.

Let’s try to connect the dots:

Brown-Eyed Girl=Rochelle, Rochelle
Checkmate=Agent Zero
Blimp=Chunnel

Wasn’t it Poe who said there are just 7 story lines?
Which I always think of whenever some rrognt fringe fanatic whines that some movie is just the same as prior movie.

I noticed a while back that most 1 hour action/drama shows have the same structure.
Protagonist(s) confronted with problem. Plan is made to resolve issue. Plan goes awry. An on the fly solution is successfully constructed.
