Poll: Your take on 'Two and a Half Men'?

[Elburzito]

So, last week I decided to have a sleep-over at a friend's house. At around midnight, one of my friends(There were several of us) decided that we should watch the ENTIRE 7th season of Two and a Half Men. My other friends, being unashamed fan-boys of the show, jumped on this opportunity, nearly drooling at the mouth.
Few people can comprehend my hatred for that damn show. For the 4 or 5 hours we spent watching that show, there wasn't even a SINGLE moment in which I laughed. I just found all the jokes to be stale, dry and generally unfunny, but for some reason, my friends loved it to bits. After a few hours, I decided to pack it up and leave(I lived about 20 minutes away by walk) after one of my friends said I had no sense of humor.

Is there something that I'm missing here!? What is so special about this show and why? Do I really have no sense of humor?

So Escapists, what is your opinion on this show?

Seen it a few times.

Never laughed during an episode.



I found it annoying but then again, it's a sitcom. How many sitcoms are actually good?

[sup][sup][sup]Psst...the answer is "none"[/sup][/sup][/sup]

EDIT: Okay, some of you didn't get what I meant, so I'll rephrase the question to be more clear;

"How many currently airing sitcoms are actually good?"

It's alright I suppose, but nothing great.

Well, there are a few British sitcoms I find funny, but all of them are no longer airing anymore.

It really is the bottom of the TV barrel. Everything about it is aimed squarely at the lowest common denominator. There's not a shred of originality or intelligent thought in the show. It treads no new ground and sticks firmly to what it, and its audience, already know; the same old jokes, the same old situations, the same old archtypes, the same old laugh tracks. There is nothing in this show that isn't recycled from dozens of other sitcoms from the last fifty years - all Two and a Half Men does is add a little extra vulgarity to it.

All that said, it's still one of the highest rated shows on TV and it probably brings in more money and viewers than your top five favourite shows combined. I can't say I blame them for sticking to what works if it keeps making money - after all, no one is forcing me to watch it.

I find if funny, sometimes. If it's on, and I'm bored, I'll watch/listen to it.

I used to like it, from about season 2 or 3 to 5 or 6 were great, after that, it just went really, really downhill. I thought Jake was hilarious until the later seasons, now he's just an annoying little prick. Anyway, don't watch it anymore, don't plan on it.

Married With Children, The Fresh Prince, Only Fools and Horses and some episodes of Seinfeld.

P.S. I hate 2 & 1/2 Men.

I never watched sitcoms, but it's pretty much always on when I go to the gym, so I've learned to like it. Not that it's that great, but I've seen a lot worse. I'm looking at you Disney Channel.

 

[PureChaos]

i've really only seen the first few seasons and they were great, some episodes were brilliant. not seen much of the recent seasons

Its alright, not perfect but good enough if I want to waste a half-hour.
