Two and a Half Men is actually really damned funny. Charlie Sheen plays a thinly disguised version of himself (before he was sober). Some classic lines and some serious tapdancing near the censorship line.

Of the ones you mentioned, I like Boston Legal the best and Two and a Half Men second. Both are funny, BL more than the other, but for a regular sitcom 2 and 1/2 men is better than average.

I was looking forward to My Name is Earl, but I watched one episode (first or second I think) and thought it really sucked. Has it gotten better?

am i the only guy who watches 'comedies' for entertainment and not TO LAUGH? it's downright weird to me if somebody could call earl hilarious or not watch it because it's not. i think it's a breezy way to pass a half hour. some of it is chuckle-worthy, and the positive vibe is nice.

I have the opposite problem from OP. I wish I had more time to watch stuff I want to watch. TV on DVD is a godsend, really.

Lost
House
Rome
Any Law & Order
The Office
Alias
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Arrested Development

There's a lot of wasted hours in one week, right there. Lots of others I'm forgetting right now.

[/ QUOTE ]I agree with this completely, I find the humor absolutely stupid and boring. Its like dumb jokes for middle schoolers. Jason Lee is not funny, and his fat brother is even worse. Horrible show.

The only weekly shows I watch at this point are Rome and Arrested Development. I sometimes watch Curb. I'll watch Law and Order type shows if for some reason i'm sitting in front of the tv doing something else.

I'll say it since no one else has probably given it a chance...

Freddie isn't a half bad show. It has its moments of chuckles and that is enough for me to justify watching it. Plus there are some beautiful ladies on the show once in a while.
