Such a filthy show lol, goes to say what Australian public loves to watch 😉

The simple reason is that we are being increasingly fed so much ‘reality TV’ fodder that its sickening. MasterChef, Celebrity MasterChef, Junior MasterChef, iron Chef.. what’s next Bondi MasterChef (the Bondi VET cooks), MasterChefs on Who’s got Talent…. Enough is enough.

Two and a Half Men on top- surely that’s a sign of the apocalypse.

Actually, guys, two and a half men is really fuuny. Its top for a reasn… well scripted, well timed comedy. The reason nobody watches australian shows is because, quite frankly, they are a bit shit.

I’d much rather be told how I’m being ripped off, going to die and my tax dollars are being wasted on a current affairs program

It’s embarrassing that 2.5 men is on so much and is so well loved in Australia. It’s middle of the road, lowest common denominator humour and I genuinely think less of people who like it.

I think 2.5 men is hilarious- have to agree with Thomas Dodson
they crank out a laugh every 10 secs or so.
Berta and Charlies mum is hilarious –
altho as it repeats so quickly you can tire of it,
I don’t think its an Aussie vs US thing – if we had a comedy that was as funny, I’d watch that.
It’s a little bit naughty and very funny and Charlie and Alan are funny characters

hey # 9
what’s wrong with middle of the road – not everthing has to be highbrow.
You’d probably be poo-poo’ing Chaucer and Shakespeare if you were around back then for their populist, appeals to the masses, , lowest common denominator plays etc.
