original 2.5 men is always gna be funny, esp when jake is young, now hes just a fat - ass :fullofwin:

2.5 half men was funnier but their stuff is getting old

The pinnacle for both shows were during the early seasons. Now it's painfully obvious that both shows are continually producing shows due to viewer demand. Reminds me of Prison Break where after 2 seasons it was scheduled to be concluded but the unexpected popularity of the show saw it extend to 4 (5?) where the overall quality of the show just fell.

Of course determining a show to be "good" or "bad" is all subjective but that's what I think of HIMYM and 2.5 men as a fan of both (especially early seasons).

2.5 men is starting to get unbearable.


How i met your mother is almost like a live action version of family guy's flashback format.

I'm just watching How I Met Your Mother - because I'm really intrigued as to who the Mother is going to be.

There still are some good episodes - but the frequency of them is not as high as the earlier seasons.

LOL KATY PERRY WAS IN THE MOST RECENT episode yesterday, that was a pretty good episode iMO =)

original 2.5 men is still the best

Modern Family -> HIMYM -> Big Bang Theory -> The Office (American) -> 2.5 Men

i've watched every episode of all 5 shows lol ... they're all pretty funny in my opinion ~ but if i had to rank'em there it is

I've seen some pretty funny parts from Modern Family - but personally, I'm not a huge fan of the mockumentary style -which is why I'm not crazy about the Office either.

yeah dont like modern family mockumentary style but its still prety decent show

Two and a Half men is pretty funny, but Jake wasn't as funny as before now..

I love modern family too. However, i prefer 2.5men over himym because Jake always make me :)

This season of 2.5 men is not good. It has had some moments, yet overall its been a dud. I love the show, yet it has run its course.

Jake used to make the jokes, now he's the butt of the jokes. Plus now that he's grown up it really shows how bad his acting is.

Alan should never be a focus of any episode, yet has been the focus of too many this season.

Watching Charlie swoon over Rose is dumb. It was funny for an episode or 2, yet kill it now.

I only started watching HIMYM this year and must say it is hilarious! yes it appeals to the lowest common denominator much of the time, yet other times it is brilliantly funny. I like how episodes and seasons can be linked with simple concepts - like slapsgiving and the dopplegangers. I also like how simple ideas can be made into hugely funny episodes - like the yips or the best burger.

To me the biggest appeal is that I can honestly imagine sitting with my friends in a bar discussing the same silly things leading to ridiculous stories or bets. Like the subway wars - we've all probably argued with our friends about which way is fastest to get somewhere - and then they go do it!

^^highly agree, thats wht appeals to me the most

wellllll the recent episodes or how i met your mother are getting pretty good, lOL

I used to consider Modern Family my favorite comedy on tv until I started watching Parks and Recreation. It's great! Amy Poehler's character reminds me of a female Michael Scott sometimes, except she has a brain.

Where's the spoiler tags? Last night's HIMYM ruined part of the show me for.

I only watched 2.5 men for the chicks in it. The show should now be called 4 men since Jake eats for two. The kid no longer has the innocent charm he had when he was young. When he has those DURRRR moments he just seems mentally challenged more than anything.

lol not gna read the spoilers , i havent seen the new episode yet
