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

[voetballeeuw]

I think it can be funny. Some episodes are bad, but some can be quite funny. Btw, you left your friend"s house because they were watching Two and a Half Men? You should've just talked with your friends while watching it.

I dislike the show, because I can't stand laugh tracks. It cheapens shows, breaks up dialogue due to the pausing for laughter, and allows writers to slip by with shitty jokes, and actors to slip by with bad deliveries of jokes because the laugh track is there to let us know it's still funny.

Here, see how retarded Two and a Half Men would be without a laugh track?

P.S.
I will excuse Black Books laugh track because I laughed more than it did at the show.

Ergh...They cherry picked that scene, and the way it cuts in and out makes it sound unnatural(it wouldn't sound nearly as bad if they could dip the audience without effecting anything else).

I get the idea, it's not acting that will win awards(and that's not it's purpose), but it's hardly conclusive evidence that the show has no merit.

It's not amongst my favourites, but I'll watch it happily.

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?"

Have you never watched It's Alway's Sunny in Philadelphia? Or perhaps The Big Bang Theory? Or The League? Or earlier How I Met Your Mother? [sup][sup][sup]the newer ones are ok but are in no way near as good as when the show started, but it still is technically airing so I can reference older episodes.[/sup][/sup][/sup]

Just off the top of my head The Office (UK & US), The Simpsons (the old stuff), Extras. OT: No I HATE IT. My friends like it though which makes me think I must be much smarter than them.

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

Meh, it has its moments where I like it. Other times I can't tolerate it.

 

[thebighead01]

the show started out as bearable and then became shit and it's just getting shitter. poor acting, terrible writing, shallow characters that shouldn't have survived past the 2nd season, and continuous jokes about sex and a mentally disabled kid. the whole show is stale and is a cancer on the american comedy scene.

 

[drisky]

Its nothing but a terrible string of sex jokes. It is an abomination. And yet I like Big Bang Theory despite having the same creators, maybe its just more relatable.

 

[beniki]

I kind of like it. I'm kind of a comedy buff, and I like seeing all these cameos and random characters that the cast have worked with before. It's laden with references if you know what you're looking for... which is par for the course on Chuck Lorre's other shows like Big Bang Theory (although I'm not counting Mike an Molly which just aired here... when a show's hook is two fat people I'm uninspired to watch it).

I'm not saying the comedy is great or even clever, but if you want that then South Park has everything else on TV beat and crying on the way home.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

It isn't superduper funny.
But some episodes are lol.

I can think of a worse show like say, FAMILY GUY.

Oh my god, you have no comprehension of my hatred for that show. Its not even clever. Its just crude...

OT: 2 & a 1/2 Men is shit, compared to good comedies. Go watch The Royle Family, Seinfeild, Only Fools & Horses, Faulty Towers, Fraiser, Cheers, and Dad's Army, among others.

 

[The Night Shade]

I like it very funny series

 

[Baldry]

Uhm well it can be good to pass the time and I do enjoy it but it isn't the best thing in the world and I can notice why people don't like it.

 

[Eogris]

This show is awkward and not funny. None of the characters are interesting at all. (This is all my opinion, obviously)

 

[khaimera]

Its awful. I do like the music, but not the men men men men men men song.

 

[CNKFan]

It is okay in my opinion. I usually laugh once or twice an episode.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I just strained my eyes from rolling them. This is "Super Mario Brothers is an RPG" reasoning.

No worse than calling "Two Men and a half men" a comedy though.

 

[MassiveGeek]

Big Bang Theory all the way. I also like certan episodes of Family Guy especially, like the show overall anyway.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

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

100% this.

Do you count things like Modern Family or the Office?

Anyway, it's an above average laugh-track sitcom, which means it only makes me want to kill the entire human race twice an episode, as opposed to the usual five.

The Office? Ugh that show is painful for me to watch.

Why, if I might ask?

 

[Dark Knifer]

It paints men in such a bad light that I can't stand it. The jokes are unoriginal, the stereotyping is so annoying as are the characters. I hope that they stop making it soon..

 

[kouriichi]

Its not bad. Its one of those shows where, i'll watch it and enjoy it if theres nothing else on.
