Television for Men and the top shows on the boob tube


At long last the dream first born of the failed sit-com "men behaving badly" has been refined and realized in the most hysterical show to grace your television since Frasier. Two and a half men top my list as the best TV available for guys, as well as anyone else who needs a good laugh from clever writing and an outstanding cast of comics. Like Frasier and other truly funny sit coms, Two and a half men delivers clever witty material without talking down to the audiance. Unlike shows such as Friends Two and a half men gives us enough credit to laugh at things that are subtle without beating us death with obvious puchlines from overly stupid characters such as "Joey" Charlie Sheen and John Cryer are a positively perfect comic duo as contrasting brothers. Their mother, played by Holland Taylor, adds her own unique flavor to a perfect cast. If you haven't seen Two and a half men yet, make time.
The rest of the best T.V
2)My name is Earl: Very, very funny, but has a couple of not so amusing episodes. Writers need to work some over-time.
3)House: A medical drama with enough sarcasm splashed in to make it ok for men. Keep up the good work Fox.
4)The Simpsons: Not much to say, been great fun for a ver long time.
5)CSI: Over the past few years this perfect cast has delivered some of the best episodes in television history. Not since the early years of NYPD Blue has T.V been so cinematic at times. The spin-offs are not as good. CSI Miami does not have a full cast of good actors which greatly holds the show back, and CSI New York has way too many guys trying desperately to fake tough Brooklyn accents.
6)Law and Order: Still very cool, even since the departure of sexy voice girl....Jason Seahorns wife (you know who I mean).
7)Criminal Minds: This show is growing on me in a hurry, nice cast and good story lines. As long as they don't let Mandy Pankin sing I'll keep watching.
8)Monk: Hilarious with above average stories. Tony Shalhoub is absoltely briliant as the "defective detective."
9)Dead Zone: USA does it again, really entertaining programming. Not always the best stories, but neat ideas and a good cast carry the day.
10)Las Vegas: Lots of potential here that is still relatively untapped. Stories tend to be a little over the top, but the acting is very good especially James Cann and there are babes a plenty.

First runner up: Ghost Whisperer. Great idea and lots of potential for great television but we need to see more cool ghost stuff and less of Jenniefer Love Hewitt and her husband whining at eachother or just more of Jennifer love Hewitt from the neck down.
