Well, 1. How I Met your Mother is the only other one I can routinely stand. But I don't get cable channels, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Other than that, I just can't take any sitcom.

Fwiw, my Earl love could be rooted in the fact that most of my family is from rural Kentucky.
What about Community, The Office, The Middle, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock? Surely one of those tickles your funny bone above Two and a Half Man.Cutlass said:
Not an original joke in a one of them.
Two and a Half Men is a terrible show. On top of that, it is completely unoriginal. Oh hey look, Charlie Sheen is a misogynist and the main characters make alot of sexual jokes! HILARIOUS!
I actually just remembered the real worst show on television. The Ghost Whisperer with Jennifer Love Hewitt. It's so bad I thought it was a parody when I saw the first episode. I'd go as far as to say only brain dead idiots could like this show but my own mother watches it.

The sure sign a show is over is when the couple you've been waiting for finally becomes a couple.
I haven't seen NCIS this past season but it was always good before. Ziva is fist of an angry God hot, and Abby is freaky but attractive.
And Bones has four smokin' hot actresses right now which makes it worth watching even if it's a mediocre episode.
I really like Community and Parks and Recreation - two of the best US sitcoms today. The Office is alright, but shows signs of ageing. Everybody seems to love Modern Family, which to me seems too dry to really enjoy. The Big Bang Theory is much better than Two and a Half Men (it from the same producer), but it still carried on the shoulders of one of the actors (Jim Parsons) -- there's nothing special about it. The Middle seems middling, and I've not seen much of 30 Rock.
Also, somebody mentioned How I Meet Your Mother, another okayish show, although I can't really stand Lily and Marshall's love-dovey relationship, or the
Typical Two and a Half Men fan: "That was a good episode. The best part is when the brother fails at something, and the son did something stupid, and Charlie Sheen got the girl in bed while being a drunken prick.
Now excuse me, I'm going to down to the basement to do some ... stuff. Yeah ... stuff."
I have a feeling, based on what little a saw of both shows, that Medium was even worse. Also, I find Jennifer Love Hewitt a bit odd. I find her both off-putting and attractive at the same time. On the one hand, she looks like she is in a state of constant surprise, with eyes wide open like a deer in headlights. On the other hand, she does have her own pair of headlight, which is nice.
I think that was happened to House mostly -- the Shippers got to the writers room.
As for the second part -- meh. You can find (images of) hot attractive women easily, without the mediore stuff surrounding it.
L&O orginial started to decline once Orbach left (and then soon died thereafter). I use to watch SVU, until I realized how tawdry to whole thing was -- like CSI: Miami.

To be fair to the network, it only costs as much as following Charlie Sheen around with a camera on the weekends.
...and weekdays.
Yeah, but it's not trying to be anything other than that. And that's why it works better. All the rest are pretty much just rehashed jokes that were old on Gilligan's Island.
That is the worst rationalization for why Two and a Half Men sucks that I have ever heard, and I've heard a bunch.
I rarely watch any sitcom. Because most are so lost in rehashed old jokes and stereotypes that they actually make Two and a Half Men look good in comparison.

It was good, until it became another Grey's Anatomy sometime after the third season.

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
For the first little while I thought that "Grey's Anatomy" was a show about aliens.. you know.. about how doctors were dissecting grey aliens? So I was pretty disappointed when I found out from my then-gf that it was about doctors who have sex with eachother.
I was also disappointed when I found out that the show about Cardassians isn't really about about Cardassians but some ho named Kardashian or something
Anyway, most tv shows suck, which is why I don't watch tv anymore.

@Warpus: That's what Grey's Anatomy should've been.

There's enough on there for me to state that pretty much any network weekday television would fit in this area for me. "Reality" shows are the worst scourge to mankind since the Plague.
But I'm not exactly your typical mass-market viewer.
