A really funny show should have won the the Emmy. Spoiler Alert...

[WCGreen]

Here's why.

You don't have to be in on the joke like you do with Curb your Enthusiasm, the Office and 30 Rock.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

But with Two and a Half Men, you can just sit down and watch the show and pretty much pick up the gist.

1. (facepalm)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. Can you edit the subject to spoiler alert. although I'm on the east coast, many DUers

are on the west coast and haven't watched it yet.

[WCGreen]

12. I don't think anyone would consider 2 7/2 men a winner...

The other contenders are written with an insider wink that 2 1/2 men doesn't need in order to be funny...

[Tunkamerica]

3. but the first three shows you listed are all

better written and better performed. Since when do we reward the things which make you think least?

[valerief]

4. Since the 2000 election? nt

[Wetzelbill]

5. oh you just knew that one was coming

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

11. I really don't think they are...

And if you do, well that is your opinion...

I just think that 2 1/2 men appeals to a wider audience and is still fresh and very funny after what five years on the tube.

6. Two and a Half men, that would be Obama, Biden and McLame

[vanderBeth]

7. No

I don't think the Office is like Curb your Enthusiasm and 30 Rock.

Besides, Jon Cryer is on my shitlist.

[WCGreen]

8. Just because he is a Republican doesn't makethe show not funny...

[vanderBeth]

10. I know, but it mean I don't watch it.

[WCGreen]

13. You are missing out on some pretty funny stuff...

[vanderBeth]

16. I actually haven't watched a new sitcom in a long time, and when glanced at the Emmys

I hadn't seen anything that was nominated. I get what you say about pretentiousness can win sometime. What show did win in that category?

Too much time is spent studying.

Edit: Oops, I responded to myself. Oh well.

[WCGreen]

17. 30 Rock...

It's a funny show but most people over say 40 wouldn't don't get it...

[vanderBeth]

23. I catched half an episode on 2 in the morning one time. Despite her Palin impression

I'm not particularly enamored by Tina Fey. I did like the page character, though.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. FWIW-- I'm 61 and I think it's one of the best things on TV.

[Cheap_Trick]

21. But Cryer's character is a schmuck

an anal retentive jerk.....full representation of republicans while Charlie Sheen is the cool, laid-back one like the Dems:)

[JSK]

9. I am boycotting that show

since I found out John Cryer is a Puke.

[JanMichael]

14. No way...John Cryer is a fuck faced conservative????

I don't believe it. Every character the man has ever played has bled liberalism hasn't it? If he is a refuckinrepuke then shame on his cross-playing ass.

[phusion]

15. I prefer

How I Met Your Mother

[WCGreen]

19. And the other one that comes on before that....

They are funny shows in the traditional sit com style...

[seabeyond]

18. 2 1/2 men went from really funny to sleazy. i havent watched it for a couple seasons now

turned me off

[WCGreen]

20. The whole premise is Sleezy....

And I like it because they are a traditional Sit Com and they have as of yet had a "Special" show, you know, Charlie goes into a Clap induced Coma...

[seabeyond]

27. ok... it went from a funny sleezy to a not funny sleezy.

i use to laugh. the last couple times trying to watch i shut it off.

[Avalux]

22. Two and a Half Men is not funny.

The "gist" is not funny. Sorry to disagree with you.

[AlCzervik]

24. i tried to watch that show, i gave 3 episodes and i didn't think it was funny.

[AlCzervik]

25. 30 Rock is hilarious and if you can't pick up the gist of it after 10 minutes then

you're doing something wrong.

[TlalocW]

26. I prefer the Family Guy version of Two and a Half Men

Where it's just two guys and the upper torso of a man cut in half standing (and laying) around screaming about the horribleness and the gore.

I'm sure there's a YouTube video out there on it, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
