t's Two and a Half Men with Nerds. Especially now. 90% of the jokes are lame sex jokes. It's always been a very mediocre show, but they used to try to actually make fun of things like Star Wars, but they don't really anymore.

This. BBT's nerds in no way act like actual nerds. trust me, I am one. They don't resemble me or anyone I know. The show doesn't play to nerds... it's just window dressing for bawdy humor. which is fine, and I don't hate BBT as much as most, but it's certainly not very interesting. It's fine if it's on and I think it has its moments, but its not must-watch TV or anything.

HIMYM has my favorite literary device, the unreliable narrator, so it sucks me in. That's a personal thing, though. It doesn't make it automatically "better", just more appealing to me. though I think the quality of writing is higher and the cast is superior.
