Friends declined, due to relationships in the group. The Ross/Rachel thing should've remained a crush and then move on to drop it. It got really sappy. Then the other two paired up, which was just annoying. Married with Children was tv greatness, especially for basically an insult comedy. The first season or two tried to have heart and "moments" which didn't work, so they dropped it. Jefferson saved the show and they went over the top with NO MA'AM, keeping it fresh and even funnier. It was brilliant in that it was simple, switch off your brain humor. Throw in some eye candy with Christina and guests...win. It was sad when it went off the air. The constant jabs at the French were hilarious. LOL Friends' fluctuation in quality is nothing compared to that of Two and a Half Men which lasted for 12 seasons. But it is a constant complaint when it comes to long running sitcoms/series. Think also of Cheers 11 seasons, Frasier 11 seasons, Murphy Brown 10 seasons.And that's just sitcoms,not TV series in general.I'm sure many people will complain about the varying quality of the different seasons of these TV series. As far as The Big Bang Theory is concerned, I'd say that this season is much better than the previous 2 were.
Stupidity is invincible.

I found 2.5 Men too obnoxious to ever get into. Couldn't stand it. No clue how it lasted. I haven't found Charlie Sheen funny in the least outside of Ferris Bueller. Maybe Hot Shots 2. Terrible MJF replacement for Spin City, which lost it after MJF left and they dropped half of the cast, IMO. Cheers was saved by Shelley Long leaving and bringing in Kirstie Alley while dropping relationships from the show. It would've been over in 5 otherwise IMO. There's no telling what will work I guess.
BBT is still good when they push the nerd aspect with the guys. They just don't do it often enough now, concentrating on individual quirks and relationship humor.

My sentiment exactly. Not a bad show, but I miss more of the nerd/looser type jokes to which I could relate... I can't relate to marrying a hot girl.
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

Still on the fence about this season. First two episodes were just OK.
Wheels I'm really amazed at how long this show has gone on. The writers must be running out of ideas by now. However, the show is still getting great ratings so that justifies keeping the show on the air for purely business reasons.

I'd say it was just about hanging on,in my opinion of course. It's lost what it once had (to be expected really over 10 seasons). I won't hold out much hope for season 11 but we do have the spin-off (Young Sheldon) that has just started. It's too early to make any sort of conclusion about that show as I've only seen episode 1 so far.

At this point I doubt any of the "stars" will have much success after the show goes off the air so they are holding on for the paychecks now too. Wheels

They show these things in Oz too. Never watched a single episode of any of them. What I find interesting is that you always hear the notion that comedy is a very relative thing among different cultures and countries but it does seem like quite a few US sitcoms have been global hits as well. So there seems to be some kind of formula behind the US sitcoms that gives those shows universal appeal.

IMO..The show was ruined years ago when the guys all got married or had girlfriends.. IMO..The show was its best when they were pure geeks and it was funny watching them do their thing I like the Amy and Bernadette characters. Another thing on the plus side is that for a tiny chick Melissa Rauch is smokin' hot. Melissa reminds me of Kelly Stables who played Alan Harper's secretary and girlfriend (Melissa) for a couple of seasons on Two and a Half Men. Wheels

Same here, it's ok, but no big deal if I miss one or two. IMO the Young Sheldon show is a much better production. Well cast, the mother and Annie Potts as the grandmother in particular. Very different presentation and you know his dad dies at some point, adding some weight to it all.

I wasn't expecting too much from Young Sheldon and after the 1st episode I still wasn't sure but it's grown on me.
I just realised who Annie Potts is! She's the secretary from Ghostbusters.

It was, until the man had to leave. They had a really good, large, cast to boot. They cut out a lot of good characters.

makes me wonder if they are trying to get everyone in before they are cancelled? Wheels BBT is still the number 1 rated comedy on network tv and it's still making a ton of money for CBS so CBS will gladly keep on milking it until the show's creators decide to end it for creative reasons.
