  And, your point....:-)
  - My point is: I'd be very surprised if I were to find that program funny or entertaining - keith_d 06:34:17 09/9/09 (2)
    And here I thought this David Pogue fellow was all sophisticated and whatnot....

If "funny" means the most patently obvious sex-related "jokes" - powermatic 15:35:28 09/8/09 (4)
humanly possibly, yeah, it's a damn laff riot.

TV long ago left the comparatively subtle world of sexual innuendo or double entendre-much less nuance-long, long ago. Remember when 'Married With Children' seemed risque? As stupid as that program was, in retrospect it seems like a gently subtle send-up of suburban life. Now it's more or less a constant string of 'I'm soaking wet', 'yeah, that's what she said' add-laugh-track "humor". I'd call it sophomoric, but I wouldn't want to insult second-year college students. Or second year high school students. Or second year grade school students.

Go nuts if you think it's so hilarious. And I'll admit, I never watch it, so maybe I missed all those really, really funny episodes.

  It's one of those shows that you can guess the entire plot within the first 30 seconds.
  
  And I agree, the sex "jokes" are a bit sophomoric.
  
  We really need another good prime time comedy show.

  Lighten up. It's just TV. Watch what you like and ignore what you don't or don't watch it at all. I don't know if I'm the college sophmore, the high school sophmore or the second grader. My wife might say they all give me too much credit. :-)

    Well said. Hardly worth an argument, but I generally feel the responsibility to reply to GK in a manner worthy of his post.
    
    BTW, I agree that the entire subject is off topic as per the OP-should have mentioned that somewhere in my Scathing Diatribe vis-a'-vis Charlie Sheen-oriented tv sitcoms. Hopefully the OP got the info he was looking for, though he seems to have left the building.
    
    vaya con dios.

      I am touched you would bother to respond. My suggestion is watch more comedy, it's the best medicine. LOL
