I think it would likely have been better if it was filmed originally without laugh tracks/live audience, somewhat like 30 rock, perhaps also Sledgehammer, for something of the same period. It seems some writers/directors think that there's all that's needed, just put people talking anything and hopefully doing something minimally unusual, and done, that's "humor," as long as there are laugh tracks. It's just insulting. I imagine there may even be some videos around joking with the idea, changing some drama bits or other random stuff into "comedy" with the addition of random laugh tracks. Which ironically might be funnier than many series actually using laugh tracks.

She never "stole" them, she never signed any non-disclosure agreement about such recipes -- she merely found the recipes on an object that was given to her a legal gift. While Benez, Seinfeld, Costanza and Kramer are involved in a vast number of crimes (arguably more than the ones they were ultimately imprisoned for), I don't think that's one of them.
