I want to like the show, but the couple of times I’ve tried to watch it I’ve found it uninteresting.

When you think of shows like the Odd Couple also about two single men in their 40s, one with kids, and then think of this show I cringe.

It’s all right. But the only part of the show that’s ever really stayed with me is the theme song, and I laughed more at Family Guy’s take on it.

Two men standing around a third, who was cut in half and bleeding everywhere. All three are screaming.

I can’t stand “Two And A Half Men.” In general, I don’t like sitcoms that are filled with obnoxious jerks. And yes, I also don’t like Seinfeld.
