Two and a Half Men — 

While many people may be turned off by the sarcastic, sometimes caustic wit displayed by this show, on top of the sexual themes evident in each show, the show is usually fearless and relentless in skewering the lives of the hipster and the geek, who happen to be brothers. The show flows so seamlessly, it appears that this may be somewhat biographical, especially for Charlie Sheen, knowing his history with the Heidi Fleiss crew, his legendary binging, and his near death due to his overindulgences. And Jon Cryer is perfect in his role as a dumped, and dumped on, middle aged man.

This isn't an intellectual show, it is a show where you watch a family full of neurotics living their lives around Charlie's fantasy world. Far from PC, and not to be taken seriously.

Some shows have very specific sexual themes, but most of them are very funny. And the boy Jake always has a great kid comment on anything in particular.

I wasn't a fan until I met my boyfriend over a year ago and he turned me onto this show. Thank goodness he's nothing like the characters!!!! LOL! It's a funny show though!!
