I'll embarrasses that "two and a half men" dominated tv ratings for years, but I do understand it.

The thing about condies and sitcoms in particular is they have to get laughs from both the 18 year old and the 49 year old and a lot of them. So different jokes are meant for those groups. Shows like Seinfeld, mash and others are just plain good writing and everyone is laughing at all of them.

I'm a cable fan. Other than a few of the new comedies with no laugh track, networks don't get my views.
