Two & a Half Men is a sitcom. In the Pacific time zone it airs at 9:00 p.m. on Mondays. It just ended. I'm thrilled. Again.
Two & a Half Men practices the two essentials of Humanity: flatulence and meaningless sex. In the admittedly short history of television (when viewed through the lens of human history), this is the first show to focus on sex and flatulence. And they have three generations, Grandmother, her two sons, and the son of a son, showing us the way.
There is no silly attempt to present a message. There is no pretense that humans have a 'higher purpose,' nobility, or a purposeful reason for existing. And forget the concept of shame. None of these hokey concepts have a chance in this sitcom. It's just one tasteless joke after another. Potty humor, sexual humor, stupid sillyness: A three legged cat named Tippy...
Apparently the show's ratings are good. Which is a good thing, in my view. What do you think of the show?

I love it.
It's a real gas....: )
I have never seen this show... for all the reasons you just mentioned.
Kat, having Charlie Sheen in it was pretty much a dead give away, wasn't it?
Did anyone catch my feeble attempt at humor?
I just figured you were telling it like it is!
flatulence=gas
get it?
Dang! I thought flatulence meant you had six-pack abs!
