The worst television show.
Day 05 - A show you hate
I know, it's so obvious. But this series is just... it's pitiful. Pathetic. I'd almost feel sorry for it if it weren't such a cynical, hateful comedy vacuum. Two and a Half Men isn't funny. Hardly a groundbreaking observation, but it's completely true - there's not a speck of anything remotely funny to be had over the course of its seven punishing seasons. The laughter track is so misplaced and overused, played over lines of such crushing inanity that it almost becomes some kind of avant garde experiment in anti-comedy. Charlie Sheen, while absolutely not a nice man by any stretch of the imagination, is an actor with some talent (well, in the past at any rate). But here he's like the very emotion of "smug" itself has somehow managed to grow itself a fleshy body in a petri dish and spends most of its time wandering lazily around the set of a shit, inexplicably popular multi-camera sitcom, leering at and making out with an endless parade of beautiful women and getting paid a ridiculously enormous amount of money to do so. Basically, this series is ghastly and challenges my Kenneth from 30 Rock-esque love of television more than even the most banal of MTV reality shows. Horrific and vile.
