Just skimming an article about Charlie Sheen's legal trouble (don't ask me why)

Ugh -- I can't believe Two and a Half Men is the top-rated sitcom on TV right now. That's just depressing. But then I still can't get used to the idea of NBC being pretty much in the tank these days either -- all through the nineties they had all the best stuff (Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, Will and Grace...), so I'm just used to them being "the good channel" and all the others struggling to keep pace. Actually, I guess I would still call NBC "the good channel," personally -- a lot of their stuff is crap, but the only show I actually follow these days (The Office) is on there, as well as a couple of other shows I sort of wish I followed but have never gotten into, like 30 Rock. Sitcoms are in a bad way overall right now though -- it's sad, for a sitcom junkie like myself...

(*sigh*)

Ah well -- the genre will regroup and rebound eventually, better than ever. It always does. Meanwhile, I think I'll put on an old episode of M*A*S*H...

I've thought about trying that one (I love characters that make nerdy jokes, so I figure that might be the place to look... *grin*), but I've gotten mixed impressions of it from what little I've seen peripherally. Couldn't tell if it seemed clever or just obnoxious. I saw one of the guys from it on Craig Ferguson a few weeks ago though, and he seemed funny -- have to give it a shot sometime. Thanks!
