I usually don't go ripped from the headlines here at HSD. But with all the rantings and ravings of one Charles Sheen. I thought my six words should be about what Amy and I and much of the Internet underground get that CBS and their viewership (It is the most popular show currently) don't get:
Two and a Half Men

Very Simply, the show's not funny!!!!!!!!!
I have watched it on many occasions and have not thought about the possibility of laughing on one occasion. All 3 of the principals have been funny before and( if Sheen can keep off the stuff) can all be funny again. A few years ago the Internet was all abuzz with how dumb a show "What About Jim" was. What about Jim was certainly no Mad About You. But Two and a Half Men isn't even Patridge Family level!
It is too bad that it had take substance abuse to for the network of All in The Family,Dick Van Dyke, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, etc ... to put two and a half men in the tank.
P.S. lest' you think that I think that there is no good comedy in prime time any more check out Hulu for the latest episode of Community. Community isn't even a show I watch every week. But this episode about a school election is a laugh riot from beginning to end.

I'm with you here all the way! I've never been able to sit through an episode of Two and a Half Men. But Community? I'm not sure it gets any funnier for me.
Thanks for playing 6WS!

Love the Hallmark channel, the game channel, HGTV, cooking channel...you get my point!
Happy Saturday Home School Dad!

I agree! But my hubby thinks the show is fantastic! I simply just don't get it...or how much he's actually been paid for each episode..it's a crazy world out there in tv land for sure.....maybe it will fade away...and Charlie will be forced to ...hmmmm...
I'm in total agreement.
If the timing had been different, I would have thought the phrase "no redeeming social value" had been coined to describe 2.5 Men.
