    Ah, the big bang theory is watchable enough, 2 and a half men was funny in it's day, ie when charlie sheen was in it. But i will grant you mike and molly is deplorable and i've no idea about mom so i can't comment on that one.
    He's kind of the judd apatow of tv - one or two funny jokes swimming in a sea of mildly amusing one liners and sexy women (well, not in the case of mike and molly i suppose:D.) It passes the time brainlessly and effortlessly and somehow, quite amazingly, it payes the creators a gazillion a year or something like that. Nice work if you can get it!!

    I'd go the other way, TBBT & 2.5 Men are woeful rubbish. I happen to like Mike & Molly. Always did from Day 1 and it's kept up it's standard so far. Yeah, it's fat jokes, sex & drug joke and ethnic jokes combined but it's light hearted and funny.
