I have a brand-new absolutely favorite television program which I watch every day. It is "Two and a half Men" which is currently running in my region two episodes in succession starting at seven every night. This is the recipe for addiction. The show has been in production for five years, and lately celebrated its one hundredth episode. The underlying premise of the show - the situation in this situation comedy - has stagnated for that time. This is the greatness of television. One gets to examine a relationship disaster from every conceivable angle and it stays funny the whole time.
Last night's episode about viagra was a real kicker. The middle-aged chiropractor is having an affair with a twenty-two year old who wants to go to his son's birthday party. They keep having sex all the time an arrive late at the party. Only the actress playing the twenty-two year old is about forty and wearing skimpy clothes that belong to an underfed eleven year-old. The chiropractor makes a grand entrance and boasts to everyone present he keeps having sex.
This is great television - candy for the mind - even though the actual episode must last for fifteen to twenty minutes given the long blocks of back-to-back commercials interspersed. I don't mind, I use the time to work on math problems, feed the cat, get a diet drink. Those television writers are artistes and it seems a great pity to let have them break their stride with a nasty strike. This stuff is funny.
