Time for Two and a Half Men to march out the Bobby Ewing shower scene if the show wants to survive

Hmmm... maybe you've overestimated Tim. I'd be more likely to believe 12-13 year olds! I honestly can't believe that 2 1/2 Men ever made it through even one season. Hopefully the addition of the less than talented, and goofy looking, Ashton Kucher will finally send it off to the garbage bin of bad sitcoms. Of course, then it will just live on forever in syndication. Sigh.......
First one was OK at best,2nd one sucked from what i saw(switching back and forth to dallas/wash game). Im not sure how many shows they taped,i'm guessing 6, but i predict they won't do anymore. I agree about berta,she used to be one of the funniest ones on there,now her outloud thoughts and drooling over kucher is pretty dumb and predictable. Actually i wouldn't be surprised if the show gets yanked sooner.
I haven't heard anything about ratings on it(i dont keep up with that stuff at all) has anyone else? It's too bad,used to be a really funny show and i dont do sitcoms very much at all.

I heard that the first episode had the highest ratings of any episode of the show. Not sure on the rest but I'd expect a nosedive.

As it turns out, CBS is mad at Aston Kutcher after the first episode. Supposedly he put labels on his laptop that he uses in the show, that are for companies he has ownership interests in. CBS doesn't get a dime of product placement revenue.

I noticed the FourSquare one and thought that was odd.
I found nothing funny about either episode. It seeems that the writers have given up. Berta who was always good for a great one liner has nothing. I think its time to bow out and live in syndication.
I haven't seen the new version yet.


Two and a Half Men: 2011-12 TV Season Ratings


Monday, 9/26/11: Another stellar ratings night for CBS and this venerable sitcom, which attracted a 7.4 in the demo and 20.52 million viewers. Kutcher and Cryer and company were down by 31% in the demo week-to-week but that’s still an incredible performance.
Season average: 9.1 in the demo and 24.63 million.


Monday, 9/19/11: There was a very high amount of anticipation surrounding the sitcom’s return and CBS was surely not disappointed by the ratings. Ashton Kutcher’s first episode attracted a whopping 10.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 28.74 million viewers. This was easily the show’s biggest performance to date and the event benefited the network’s entire Monday line-up. We don’t know how the new version of Men will compare to the old but it certainly got a good sampling.

Agree...
The episodes seem to have peaks and valleys and is still finding it's way. It is still better than up all night, whitney and free agents.

That said I still think the show would have been better to have Herb move in with Allan & the have those 2 bumble thru life; perhaps learning from Jake
