What was the appeal of Two and a Half Men

Anonus · 2015-02-23 07:12:22

from what I can glean everybody in it is an asshole and not in a good way, or at least this was the case when Charlie Sheen was on the show

Obā-san · 2015-02-23 07:13:35

it's just really fun to watch a couple of dudes chat whilst standing next to the corpse of a bisected bystander

Anonus · 2015-02-23 07:14:29

Man I own Warner Bros., I've been on the set of the show and that's not what it's about

Plus that fuddy duddy Moonves would NEVER allow his network to run something like that

real talk: sometimes the remote is too far away

Anonus · 2015-02-23 07:17:34

I also read that the old people who watch CBS love it because CBS has Old People Hypnotism Powers

Anonus · 2015-02-23 07:19:24

but yeah Chuck Lorre's empire is kind of baffling to me

Dharma Montgomery is an annoying one-note character, The Big Bang Theory is at best moderately amusing and at worst cringeworthy, and I haven't watched Mike & Molly or Mom

Imipolex G · 2015-02-23 07:37:44

You forget that the average TV-watcher has terrible taste.

If they had better taste, they'd be reading a book or something

Anonus · 2015-02-23 08:00:31

which book

Anonus · 2015-02-23 08:04:36

also when people talk about the show nobody talks about how singing "meeeeen" marks every scene transition

Imipolex G · 2015-02-23 08:26:23

any book other than Fifty Shades of Grey

Twilight must remain pure! I guess.

Also

does this actually happen?

Calica · 2015-02-23 08:31:31

yeah

Calica · 2015-02-23 08:31:53

i remember seeing episodes long ago and it seemed to be really really mean-spirited towards the man who wasn't charlie sheen

Anonus · 2015-02-23 10:08:15

how long ago

like are we talking "Viacom still owned CBS" long ago

Tre · 2015-02-23 10:19:27

I feel like I might be able to track down the reason why this ended up being a thread

and for that, I am sorry

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:25:37

let me guess, it's my desire to "buy" CBS?

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:25:45

also ABC Warner already owning the show

Tre · 2015-02-23 10:30:27

... never mind, then

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:30:39

huh?

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:30:56

no man please come back ;_;

RB2 made the upgrade worth it by significantly boosting the build quality of the pack-in instruments, giving the gameplay a sheen that Ashton Kutcher would envy, and rounding out the package with a setlist of songs so diverse and indelible that six years haven't hurt my enjoyment of the highlights a bit.

from a post I made

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:43:27

Oh

Tre · 2015-02-23 10:46:06

tbh I didn't ever watch it

and if the reports of its misogyny have weight, I probably won't start any time soon

(the fact that Lorre is also behind Big Bang is not helping the case)

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 10:56:15

And let's not forget the beloved classic Dharma & Greg

Tre · 2015-02-23 11:04:40

which I've heard of but haven't actually seen

my guess is that it probably isn't the world's best sitcom

One-Winged Eagle · 2015-02-23 12:21:45

It's literally called "Dharma and Greg."

How could it be good?

That always annoyed me too

Plus Charlie never seemed to get any kind of comeuppance even when he was being an outright asshole

well he eventually died in-show

but then turned out not to be dead and "his" ashes were actually the ashes of a bisexual goat

but he got killed off in the finale when a piano fell on him

Princess Alice · 2015-02-23 19:10:30

I can't even tell whether you're making that up or not

MissUtilis · 2015-02-23 19:12:15

It happened in canon

The details are too NSFW to outline here

Imipolex G · 2015-02-23 19:13:47

I just read a summary, it did indeed happen

Bee · 2015-02-23 21:53:55

You seem to be under the hazardous impression that Two and a Half Men has appeal.
