I recently discovered (tv show) "Two and a Half Men"
This is, without a single doubt in my mind, the funniest damn non-cartoon show on television.

That is all.

1. I'll admit to this guilty pleasure...

2. I've seen some commercials for that show, and it looks to be damn funny.
One of these days, I should watch it.

5. You should try How I Met Your Mother.
Doogie Howser grew up into Barney. The funniest freaking character on TV.

6. Is that the name of the show?
"How I Met Your Mother" that is?

7. It's a very cute show
I don't get the chance to watch it too often, but my parents are completely obsessed with it.

9. I just started watching the re-runs this summer and I DIE laughing.
D-I-E! It is almost as satisfying as Seinfeld was. I can't believe I like it.

10. My aunt watches it. I do too sometines.
The "Squab" episode is the single funniest episode ever. If you get a chance to watch it online, please do. It was HILARIOUS.

12. This sitcom features Charlie Sheen playing a caricature of "Charlie Sheen".
Funny, but it might not play too well to those jurors in charge of deciding his divorce outcome.

Bonus for male viewers is Melanie Lynskey playing the role of Rose.

I would love to have her stalk me.

She was great in "Heavenly Creatures". A British schoolgirl in a murderous relationship with Kate Winslet? Mmmmmm.

13. I've been a regular since the premier. It's one of a very few I never miss.
It's a great ENSEMBLE comedy; that's not a thing that
comes along every single season.

16. I love the way they write for the kid...
Smart alek, but also clue-less in a real "kid-like" way

20. I started watching it because of the kid.
Best part of the show. I especially liked the episode where they repeatedly forgot to pick him up at school and he was standing there in the rain. It sounds pathetic, but somehow it was hilarious.

29. That was a hilarious!
I was laughing my head off at that episode, my girlfriend said it was mean to laugh, and before long she was laughing about it too. :)

18. I agree...wholeheartedly. Witty, clever and just downright hysterically funny.
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 08:30 AM by BrklynLib at work
I must mention Conchata Ferrell, the hosuekeeper, who has me on the floor every week...

19. I like the show very much.
I hadn't seen it until WGN started airing reruns every night. "Two and a Half Men" is a very funny show.

21. Sorry. "The Big Bang Theory" beats " 2 1/2 Men" for funny by light years!
BBT is side-splittingly funny!

22. Wow. It's only had one episode and people already refer to it as "BBT"?
For the record, I turned that show off after a couple minutes, but I thought 2.5 Men was pretty funny the few times I saw it. I guess it's probably because there's really nothing for me to associate with on BBT.

23. Well, it's been two episodes, and I just abbreviated for convenience' sake.
Wow. I thought my wife was Queen of turning off after a few minutes! She LOVES "The Big Bang Theory". Sorry you didn't like it... B-)

24. It's not that the show wasn't funny per se.
I think I just associate more with a boozy lecher than I do a roomful of geeks. :evilgrin:

30. I like 2 1/2 men but...
BBT had me rolling. Both episodes were so friggin' funny. I hope it catches on. I didn't think I would like it, but right from the start I was laughing my ass off.

25. Funniest Damn Episode ever was when Jake gets ahold of Charlie's
Viagra. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. That sitcom is hilarious. How I met your mother is good too. I am waiting to Marshall to slap Barney, they have a countdown to when the slap will occur.

28. My girlfriend got me into that show.
The best episode is when Marshall's new girlfriend calls Barney "Swarley" and the whole gang picks up on it.

27. I just bought the first season on DVD and went through the whole season in a day.
As a side "male pig" note, I tend to notice a girl's legs before anything else, and I've watched the two-parter with Jenna Elfman in those shorts three or four times in the last week.

to see it regularly too. I anticipate.

and I also love the kid.

the mom, Holland Taylor has always been one of my favorite character actresses, as well as Conchita Ferrell, the housekeeper!
