You know, I'm watching this whole thing on Charlie Sheen right now and the one dude says, "Charlie thought he was irreplaceable(on 2 and a Half Men)... and the truth was... he wasn't.", well I have to disagree with that, I don't see some douche like Aston Kutcher(and sure, he's a lovable douche, but a cheesy herb none the less) being able to pull off the role or whatever weird direction they're going to take the show in.

A lot of people hate that show for reasons I will never understand. Although I'm not an avid watcher of it, every time I do I find myself laughing out loud. Sheen makes that show. The whole cast is great and have great chemistry, but no matter what, he's the one that makes that show tick.

Funny that him and his brother(Jon Cryer) were in Hot Shots together.

^^Everyone hates it because the show has lazy writing and runs out the same three formulas every damn episode:

-Charlie sheen bangs a hot chick/there's a hot chick in an episode tempting Charlie.
-Alan is pathetic/alan gets lucky with a chick but by the end returns to his his pathetic self
-Jake asks inappropriate questions/jake is used as a set up for a sex joke

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

It infuriates me that that show (and The Big Bang theory but to a lesser extent) are the best rated comedies on TV where there are so many other creative sitcoms on TV struggling for viewers.

How I met Your Mother is probably the best sitcom out there. It has a good plot, and each character is very well constructed.

TBBT was good for the first couple of seasons... then its like meh.....

2 and a Half Men was just plain boring,

It's top 5, but it isn't the best.. and I say this as a HUGE fan. Community is the best sitcom right now.

HIMYM was the best during its inaugural season. It started a slippery (yet slow) slide until this season, where it rebounded once again. I suspect, as the series starts to wind down, that Seasons 7 and 8 will return to the quality we saw in S1.

BOOM. STARCRAFT II: Heart of the Swarm.

I never really played the multiplayer in Starcraft II but I'm interested in seeing where the story goes from here.

Yo what the turd... I got a warning for making a mortal kombat inspired thread on the GB. Then they deleted the thread or somethin. Talk about overreacting, I guess I should be like all da other posters and just post about Lebron and Bosh and troll all the time.

I hope so because I love the show. Despite season 6 being much better than 4 and 5, it still had a ton of flaws that irked me.

-Zoey.. She and Ted had zero chemistry and she was unlikeable. What made it even worse was that they told us early into their relationship that she wasn't the mother and that she wouldn't be around past this season, so it made that storyline that much worse.

-The Lilly/Marshall pregnancy plot was predictable and cliche-ridden. Couple decides to have baby/couple has trouble getting pregnant/is put on the backburner for some reason/unexpectedly gets pregnant. Mehh..

-Robin had little to do all season.

-A couple of the worst episodes in the entire series. I usually rewatch the new episodes a day later but I hated ''Canning Randy" and "Exploding meatball sub" so much that I deleted them off my DVR as soon as they ended.

-The Arcadian plot for the most part was enjoyable for me, but at the end, it pissed me off completely. Marshall going against Ted and Barney for no apparent reason, the girls letting Zoey come between the guys even though we've been told/shown many times that Lilly ihad no problem butting in for the good of the group etc.. pretty sloppy.

I think the end of Season 6 put a damper to it really, because otherwise, it was a really really good season. But yeah, the last few episodes left a lot to be desired especially considering that HIMYM typically has a lull in the middle but then kicks ass on the last few eps to close a season out.

The whole Zoey/Ted not working out doesn't really bother me. The two just didn't click. There's really no difference between how Ted/Zoey was handled and how Ted/Victoria, Ted/Robin, Ted/Estella were handled. In all of those cases, we were told before hand they were not the mom, but the characters were great and they had great chemistry with Ted/Josh that had the series end with either one of those three ladies, I don't think anyone would have had a problem with it.

Maybe that was the problem. In each of those cases, the show wasn't renewed, and thus those girls were casted with the possibility that they COULD be the mom if the show didn't get renewed. Whereas with Zoey, they knew they had another two seasons and can eliminate her being the mom from the get go.

Let me tell you about the average Knix fan...

So me and my boy are talking hoops...

He was a long time Nets fan who felt scorned and stopped following the NBA way back in like 04 when the Nets were slated for Brooklyn.

Recently I've got him back into it and somehow he's become a Griz fan...

So dude is cap savvy to sports in general cause he's a huge Giants fan, but knows little of the NBA, but I've been schooling him to it and he's keeping along as best as possible.

So we start getting into the present and the Nets and the chance of Dwight coming here and signing or trading for him and what not...

So he's like, OK I hear you, but lately I've been chilling with this dude I'm friends with at work from the Bronx who's a huge Knix fan and he keeps telling me the Knix are a lock to get one of Deron or CP3...

His boy is pretty much positive CP3 or Deron(emphasis on D Will, not cause we're Nets fans but because his boy did) is going to straight sign there and then big time dude(maybe even Dwight) are going there.

This wouldn't sound that bad until his boy was claiming to know his ****...

lol.

Sometimes when I'm just chilling with friends who are Knicks fans instead of correcting them every single time they're wrong I just nod my head and pretend like they're right :lol:
