Catching Up: The "CSI" Writing Crossover

May 10, 2008

I posted before about the "Two and a Half Men" episode written by folks from "CSI." I've now caught up to the "CSI" written by the big guys from "Two and a Half Men," and the "CSI" came out better.

"Two and a Half Men" Crossover

May 6, 2008

"HIMYM," "Men"

March 18, 2008

A toast to your return, gentlemen!
I don't know if it was to make room for that "Tropic Thunder" trailer or what, but CBS and my DVR were not in sync last night …

Monday Catch-Up: "HIMYM," "Two and a Half Men"

November 14, 2007

You're in Cleveland. Where's Kid Leo?
Before I talk about the comedies, a brief note about Chuck Lorre's title card at the end of "Men." Usually full of tiny type, this one simply said "United We Stand." Good move, great way to remind viewers (well, at least the detail-obsessed ones) that these shows come from writers, [...]

Catching Up: "Criminal Intent," "HIMYM," "Two and a Half Men"

October 10, 2007

I've been in the office most of the day, and last night's viewing is stuffed into a DVR at home. But while trying to find the top of my desk, I hit a USA Network episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." And I did see Monday's "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and [...]

Emmy Noms

July 19, 2007

List is here I expect to have more to say later, including about "Friday Night Lights" getting shafted … and what may be my happiest nomination of the day — for the Andy Samberg/Justin Timberlake "box" song on "Saturday Night Live," in the "outstanding original music and lyrics" category… Tell you what: Since I've been [...]

Great Line …

October 19, 2006

From a press release about the Oct. 23 episode of "Two and a Half Men":
If there's still any misconception that just because there's a kid on the show, it's a "family" show, this episode should easily clear that up.

Funny/Not Funny

April 25, 2006

After watching television most of my life, I like to think that it's hard to shock me. But every now and then that kid who was watching TV in the '50s gets an eyeful or an earful of something that shocks. The "anal" joke on "How I Met Your Mother" on Monday night was one [...]

'"The Shield," Other Viewing

March 21, 2006

I've had the viewing blahs the last couple of days. I'm ahead of the game with "The Sopranos," so I had already had the pleasure of seeing Sunday's episode. (And if you haven't seen it yet, please do so.) And I've already complained here about "The West Wing" and "Prison Break."
"Grey's Anatomy" was only all [...]

"Two and a Half Men" is a pretty sturdy comedy for CBS, and often makes me laugh out loud. Not only are [...]
