CBS Sitcoms
Today I'm going to look at the Sitcoms that are currently on CBS. This is going to be the last post in the Sitcom review series (at least for a while).
THE BIG BANG THEORY
Mondays 8:00
This show is about a couple of scientific prodigies who live together. They have a pair of predictably nerdy friends and a hot chick living across the hall that (surprise, surprise) one of them is in love with. I have seen this show a couple times and was not very impressed. It is about geniuses but it isn't particularly smart or clever. The humor never really rises above "Hey we are so weird and nerdy. Isn't this delightfully eccentric?"
It's not.
Verdict: Lame show. Skip it.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
Mondays 8:30
This show takes place in NYC and is about a group of friends. It has the chick from Buffy, the guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Doogie Howser. Most episodes deal with the main character, Ted Mosby telling his son and daughter how he met their mother, but that is really more of "the gimmick" of the show and they seem not to be focusing on it as much. Overall it is an amusing show and the core group is a good one.
Bonus: Britney Spears guest stars again tonight.
Verdict: Funny show. Check it out.
TWO AND A HALF MEN
Mondays 9:00
This show is about two bothers living together. Alan is the loser one (with a son Jake) and Charlie (played by Charlie Sheen) is the cool one who drinks all the time and sleeps with hot chicks. This show has been on since 2003 and it's starting to show its age. The show started with Jake as a cute little kid but now he is a teenager and the jokes centered around his innocence don't really work. It's still a funny show but I think that maybe they should just quit while they are ahead.
They Wont.
Verdict: Amusing show but getting kind of stale. If you've never seen it before stick to the reruns.
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Mondays 9:30
This show is about couples. One that has been married for a while (with Putty from Seinfeld) and one has just gotten engaged. Both couples are also friends with a womanizing sneak played by David Spade. Personally I like Spade playing more of the nerdy loser type (Just Shoot Me) but he does a decent job in this series. The married couple is pretty funny and the woman in the engaged couple (Bianca Kajlich) is smoking hot. There are a few amusing moments and the characters are likable but it is nothing great.
Verdict: Kinda funny but nothing special. Pass.
