The premise of Professional Woman with Messed-up Love Life sounds kinda tired and potentially annoying, but I love Mindy Kaling, so I'll give it a try.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I thought the same, but I quite like the trailer: [link]
Sure, some cliches (well, quite a lot of them, actually) but Kaling is fun to watch. I also like Chris Messina who plays the antagonist / future love-interest person. He's a walking rom-com stereotype but Kaling has an oft-professed love of rom-coms and the whole things appears to be well in her wheelhouse.

Ooh, I hadn't seen the trailer. That's really charming.
It just seems kind of hard to promote is 30 second ads. New Girl should be a good lead in for it, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And the cliches are built in to the premise, right? Like, she really wishes her life were a rom-com, but it's not.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah, I think so. She both embraces and makes fun of the cliches. From what little I can see from the trailer, it seems pretty self-aware.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, wait, hey--is her show multiple camera?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Pretty sure not.

Is that based on the trailer? Or something you read?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Holy crap, Gravity Falls just keeps getting better every episode.
