  1. the128boy

    It is just dismal, even in december, to be able to crack the top 20 demo list with a 1.8

  2. Merlin the Magician and The Wizard of OZ

    I love “Two & 1/2 Men” and “Big Bang Theory” they make me laugh so hard, and Chuck Lorre’s Vanity cards are so fun to read, its like getting a fortune cookie at the end of each program.Merry Christmas!

    Clever, writing when Charlie was in the Funeral home this episode Monday night, Charlie is with his real brother “E” and the conversation is priceless…..genius…in the funeral home and James Earl Jones comes and does a Eulogy for Charlie Sheen and the dream sequence is sensational! Car scene with Charlie and Alan…so funny.

    Best comedy show on television, you can tell that there is double the amount of viewers! We laugh so hard at home……

    Judith just had a baby so I can’t wait until we see the little baby “boomba” this year, that should be fun to see Jake babysitting and Charlie putting up with pampers and playpens…..

    I likle Big Bang especially the beginning of the show, good edits on historical places…good, funny script, both of these two shows are the “GOLD STANDARD IN THE INDUSTRY”…we all know at home, the best shows to watch each week……….if women ruled, they would turn off Monday nite football and just watch FOX reruns of “TWO & 1/2″ MEN….right,,,,right….on Monday nights…

    Triple threat on Monday nights with three versions of “TWO & 1/2 MEN” shows…..we are so LUCKY in AMERICA,

    BRILIANT SCRIPT…CBS SHOULD RERUN IT A COUPLE TIMES EACH WEEK BECAUSE PEOPLE SHOULD ALL SEE THIS EPISODE OF “2 AND 1/2 MEN”..

    Many times just for the deep laughs from start to finish…..happy holidays…!!:)

  3. Babies Like it at The Beach

    I’m glad Rose came back on “Two and 1/2 Men” we love Rose…Charlies so lucky to have a women that loves him so much and is so loyal.

    Charlies mother, Holland Taylor is so great and funny, I always like her conversations, she has the funniest lines…and does them so well.

    Happy New Year! I’m babaysitting now, and just thinking, I cant wait until I see the real baby on 2 1/2 Men…

    I love to see the babies grow up and start walking, they get into so much fun, epecially at the beach, swim lessons..

  4. D.B.Wells

    Has t.v. gotten so dull the A.F.H.V is a top 25 show

  5. Happy January 2, 2010!!! Need to Know Babies Name - What did Judith Name her Baby?

    I love comedy shows!!!

    They heal our hearts, expand our dreams, make us happy. Charlie’s 2 1/2 always is a great show to look forward to..

    What is the baby’s name on “Two & 1/2 Men” that seems to be the tv trivia question of the day……

    Is it really “Little Goomba”?

  6. Moon Goddess meets FAO Schwarz

    On “Two & 1/2 Men” Judith’s babies name will be a sacred holy name from the era of pre historic dawn, during Adam meets Eve dynasty. Around 1100bc (before candy)

    Does it have to be a funny name, or normal name..I hope they do a normal name…..I want to guess but – was is a boy or a girl, anyone know…

    “Welcome to the World of Toys.” The adventure is about to begin!

    Is it true that Marin is keeping the name a secret as she is about to have a New Years bash at FAO Schwarz in New York?

    Major cute cloths and toying buying there for the little tiger(tigress)…..Are we going to see the full page ad taken out in “Baby World” and a contest is held for the best “babies rocker” money can buy… Some would say oak, or walnut makes a good rocker, puts a baby to sleep right away…Sturdy, they hold up…

    Ice Cream, jelly beans, all my favorite things..toys for the baby..

  7. Moon Goddess

    I like to be on top……
