I've learned to tolerate Big Bang Theory. The cast is cute.

As for this new Odd Couple, sigh. Poor Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. Both talented guys but damn, is this thing lame.

That is, so obscure that they won't actually spoil. (Non-spoiler: ) This really has a jumped-the-shark feel to it. Cameos are raining down. The whole thing is about Charlie, will he or won't he?!1 One reference, &quot So and so) has rage issues. Has he tried Anger Management?!1" Lots of "tiger's blood" and "winning" going on.

STAMOS. SLATER. Ahhhnuld, "Yeah right, and I'm the governor of California."

The half is back. All a big tease. Didn't happen.

Not shocking, though. The entire series ended when Charlie Sheen left. It's like they went out of their way to screw it up, though.

I stopped watching years ago, and the whole finale played out like a bizarre fan-fic.

And I always disliked Charlie Sheen. But good for it for lasting so long.

While it was nice to see cameos of cast members on the second half hour, IMO, it was a poor ending to a long running show.

Let's wrap it up one more time, leaving an opening for another spin off sometime in the future.

17. I thought the show was brilliant and truly funny the first couple of years but then it

seemed to devolve into nothing but off-color sex jokes. No smart dialogue, not real acting just lots and lots of off color remarks that were supposed to represent what youngish single men do and how they think.

That was before Sheen left the show. It had really gone down hill. Once he was gone it became unwatchable. Just a load of misogynist crap and off color bad jokes.
