The show is up 20 percent in viewers over Sheen's final season, the Nielsen ratings company said, and Kutcher has also brought in a younger crowd

So more viewers is less subby? Must be that new math I've been hearing about.

El Freak: Who watches this painfully unfunny crap?

Well it seems 20% more than the last season so thats about 50 people

I see how Fark's hipster crowd has showed up here.

People still watch network TV? Why?

"Kutcher wants to return to 'Two and a Half Men', which is coincidentally the number of remaining viewers"

Kutcher is a number? Is it more than a firken?

Lost Thought 00: People still watch network TV? Why?

I know! I only watch independent plays and interpretive dance at a little theatre you have never heard of. And I don't use a computer to get on the internet. I get on the only responsible way, through telegraph.

Never watched the show... neither pre nor post Winning.

Lost Thought 00: People still watch network TV? Why?

Because of Thursday night on NBC. Well, until they benched "Community" for the Whitney/Chelsea power hour.

/We still have "Parks and Rec," at least.

Smelly McUgly: Because of Thursday night on NBC. Well, until they benched "Community" for the Whitney/Chelsea power hour.

I don't get this...

They benched community to put on 30 Rock....but then moved Whitney to Wednesday along with the new Chelsea show....so, why couldn't they have kept community, or are they putting something else on Thursday nights?

I think it is a great idea. A mediocre talent on a mediocre show that is enjoyed for all its mediocrity by its mediocre fanbase. A great bundle of bland mediocrity to occupy your dull minds.

People are too lazy to change the channel or turn the television off after the news or NFL football. Also, remember that each viewer's vote counts just as much as yours in the election.

ShawnDoc: PsyLord: Never watched the show... neither pre nor post Winning.

I've sat through a few episodes when visiting friends/relatives. Its essentially the Jerrry Springer of sitcoms. All the humor revolves around fart jokes and womanizing. There's nothing clever or witty about any of it, and its one of the highest rates shows on TV.

Some of the early seasons are great (or at least good given the premise and chemistry), but then they just ran out of ideas.

So the show is so bad off they can only hype it by saying 'replacement boy wants to return...and it's gonna happen, too!'

The enthusiasm, it ebbs.....

Funny vote.

"Two and a Half Men" is just like this headline... not funny at all and I'm baffled as to how they got greenlighted.

I was incorrect - it's "Up All Night" that is getting moved into Community's spot. I really like Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph, but meh on that show.

How many Courics are in a Kutcher?

where's that "stop liking what I don't like" picture when you need it

Lost Thought 00: People still watch network TV? Why?

It was a top rated show with Sheen. Now it's rating are up 20% and STILL the Hipster Doofus Brigade come out to denounce it.

It must be a tough life being SO AWESOME that literally everything in the world sucks except you and a couple of your friends.

Awww...it's funny, I still remember when BBT was the coolest thing on TV, per the Fark crowd. Around the time they moved it to Thursday (ie. it got popular), Fark turned on it.

An appeal to popularity is not a sound argument.

Ah Fark. Where 2 and a Half Men sucks, but Community is the paradigm of good television.

Both shows are crap. One actually gets ratings though.

justtray: Ah Fark. Where 2 and a Half Men sucks, but Community is the paradigm of good television.

The fact that you just compared "Community" to "Two-and-a-Half Me"n lets me know that you, um, well, did you even think about this comparison beyond "I don't like either show?"

Thats what hipster d-bags do. I still watch Big Bang Theory, still pretty funny. Its no community, but come on.

Its better than reading comments by mediocre people such as yourself who think anyone actually gives a shiat about their opinion.

I find it funny that someone is labeling people who don't like The Big Bang Theory "Hipsters"

Really? That show is GARBAGE and I have incredibly low standards.

Smelly McUgly: An appeal to popularity is not a sound argument.

When you're discussing a show's value to a network, it's usually the only sound argument. Since popularity = advertising revenue.

ElusiveWookiee: Awww...it's funny, I still remember when BBT was the coolest thing on TV, per the Fark crowd. Around the time they moved it to Thursday (ie. it got popular), Fark turned on it.

I never remember that, as a matter of fact I think Fark's consensus has been that BBT has always been "nerd-blackface"

In terms of nerd comedy, compare Community to BBT. Community has a subtlety about it, where as BBT seems to bash you over your head with a club. I don't know if that is because of the styles ("Live audience vs no audience") but it just seems that BBT is trying to hard to be "nerd chic"

The Beetlejuice reference that spanned over three seasons of community was brilliant.

Also, for those who don't know, new season of Archer starts next Thursday!

I think I'm the only one in the world who still likes the show. Should I be ashamed?

No, it really isn't. But I understand how it might appeal to simple-minded folk like yourself. 'Give them bread and circuses.'

Aha! But we are discussing quality here, unless I missed something.

Your definition of value is also narrow. "Jersey Shore" might have value to a network like A&E in a financial sense, but not an artistic one.

Ashton who?

You still think networks care about artistic value? That's adorable.

Yes....yes, you should be. I thought it got cancelled after the second show.....just goes to show how stupid simple-minded, dim, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical and obtuse the viewing audience is.

BioStormX: I find it funny that someone is labeling people who don't like The Big Bang Theory "Hipsters"

That is how someone who likes something shiatty tries to turn it back on the people criticizing what they like. It's so old that we should start making fun of people who call everyone hipsters instead of hipsters themselves.

Hell, we all enjoy shiat sometimes. Just say, "Hey, I know it's shiat, but I still enjoy it." Not everything you like has to have artistic or intellectual value. I watch professional wrestling, but I don't try to act like there is some hidden cultural value that "hipsters" don't get. It's shiat, but it entertains me. Just admit it, people.

/BBT and Two-and-a-Half Men are both utter shiat. They don't entertain me, though.

HBO, Showtime, A&E, IFC, PBS, etc., etc.

I guess it isn't true of the broadcast networks so much, but obviously there is a consideration of artistic value on some channels that air in the U.S. I'm sure this is also true of numerous channels abroad.

Bull -- that show was fresh and funny. Its not now. People don't like it maybe because the characters are static pathetic whiners who are incapable of manning up even a tiny bit. Everyone but Sheldon. Atleast you can belive that that character is socially inept. The rest revolves around everyone being puny losers that cant get dates because they are... fantastic tools. It gets tired fast. I have a hard time tuning in to watch a group of people work through their problems that they caused by being to pussy to deal with their problems. The characters just start looking more and more like assholes that quirky losers.

I want to mention some of those shows like the whitney one or chelsea handlers abortion of a show... They are not funny. That show "up all night" blew aswell. They just are not funny.

They arent. They are drama sitcoms. Seinfeld was a sitcom -- how often did that show have sentimental "aww" moments? Did the characters ever learn life lessons? The new sitcoms are more like friends. They want to make the characters dimensional and dynamic and it always does it at the cost of comedy.

I didnt like 2 and a half men and that was for a seperate reason - I have seen many episodes of the show and i cant telll you one scene that stands out as being different from the rest. Its funny at times i give you that, but the funny times seem to be the same theme of jokes over and over and over... i cant recall a single joke that made me remember the scene or episode. They could be from any episode...

I don't like the implication that people oppose something popular for the sole reason of being counter cultural. Some people might but can i go out on a limb and say that just because something gets good rating doesnt mean its good.

Anyone remember those pop hits from the late 90s that would hang out at the top of the top 40 chart for weeks and weeks at a time? The backstreet boys put out an album that sold very very well. Better than led zepplins IV... So does that make ME the tool for claiming black dog is a better song than larger than life?

Let me get this straight, "TV star of hit TV show wants to continue to be TV star of hit TV show." This takes not news to a pretty low level.

So if you thought it got cancelled after the second show, then you obviously haven't been watching it. So how do you know it sucks?
