I hope that good things happen with the ratings for HIMYM, because I really, really enjoy this show, and I want it to come back for another season.

Am I the only person here that actually LOVES all four of these shows?

HIMYM was orginially on at 8:30.

I don't think this is a bad move... I think it did better at 8:30 than 8 anyway... I never was able to catch the first five minutes because I was busy with putting babes to bed and such.

Not as impressed by Big Bang. I think 2 1/2 men is terrible. I love HIMYM: it isn't always good, but when it is, it's really good. Even when it isn't good, there are a few things sprinkled here or there that make me want to watch, because the characters are so fun.

I really can't stand to watch the big bang theory and I'm surprised that it is a moderate hit, but it seems to be performing ratings wise like The class did. How i met your mother is a great show, two and half men, I don't get. rules of engagement is hilarious, but the real cbs jewel is The Adventures of Old Christine -- you want a great sitcom, check this one out again if you have to-- guaranteed laughs.

Hey Paul, I was right when I said you are the one that lives your life through TV. I clicked on your profile and you have a lot and I mean a lot of comments posted on this site. Seek some professional help.

Christine bores me, and unfortunately I don't find HIMYM at all attractive anymore. I used to watch every episode twice, but now I usually don't even watch it once. The dynamic has just become old, and there really isn't any plot with Lily/Marshal resolved and the revelation of who "mother" is presumably nowhere in sight.

2.5 Men has two levels of comedy to it, one which is low brow and one which is much more subtle. I find the subtle stuff doesn't work a lot, but overall I think its a workable comedy.
Rules of Engagement is good because of Patrick Warburton. I generally like David Spade but can't stand him in this though. He should be replaced by someone else, particularly because his "I'm a lech" character he plays everywhere is starting to become less funny and more creepy.

Both shows are excellent, I just wish CBS would stop screwing with HIMYM and add it for next season - the show is Hilarious and gets better by the second. As for those who don't like 2.5 Men, I guess you just don't understand. Add Christine to the mix and that is 2 solid hours of Comedy on Monday night!!!

I used to be a big fan of HIMYM, but since the last couple of seasons, it's dropped way off my radar.

In fact I love Big Bang Theory for it's fresh approach to the same type of jokes and storylines. Something the other show seemed to forget about.

And lastly... I actually like Rules of Engagement as well. I love the delivery of Patrick Warburton. It could use a little tweaking, namely loosing David Spade's character, but overall I find it fun.

Looks like someone lost a slap bet...
