CBS "comedies" are overrated trash

The only show I can watch on CBS is How I Met Your Mother
generally agree... CBS sitcoms seems to be for midwestern and southern republican voters. not much in the way of smarts, and very obvious jokes.
even same for CBS drama shows for the most part.. formulaic, very safe.. and always a hit
that being said, sheen-era 2.5 men was the best of the "obvious" comedies, and himym was the best of the "smarter" comedies (or was it the only one?)

This. I haven't watched network sitcoms with any consistency (outside of Family Guy) in more than a decade. Like how can I watch Curb or even Entourage and then watch How I met your Mother or whatever dumb shyt is on network television.
The quality of shows on pay channels has spoiled alot of shyt for me on TV.

aside from looking at entertaining television you're falling into the stereotype that males can just be hypnotized into doing whatever a woman wants because of how she looks. i'd love to know what nerdy topics they touch on on BBT , btw

CBS always touts "most watched network" but their shows are awful. Like op said besides 2 1/2 men with sheen (never seen a episode with kelso) their lineup is basura
especially big bang theory
which has always been terrible and not funny
Two and Half Men (Sheen era) is one of my favorite shows of all-time. I still watch reruns of those seasons. The Ashton era is garbage but this current season has been the best with him. Time for the show to go though. They should've made the show completely about Alan and not worried about bringing in a new co-star (The 'two and a half' could've been Alan, Jake and Berta 
).
How I Met Your Mother is another GOAT. All that continuity and call-backs to previous characters & incidents
It's one of those shows that is really only funny if you've been with it from the beginning because you know the characters and events. You can't really pick it up at any other point and fully understand the show or get all the jokes. It did get weak for a few seasons though, I think part of that was they lost focus on Ted's story. The show is always better when it revolves around Ted, IMO. Barney is a great supporting character but he's had too much spotlight the last few seasons.
Big Bang Theory... I haven't watched any of the current season yet. IMO, Season 4 started the decline but the ratings keep getting better with each new season
. I didn't watch Seasons 5 or 6 all that closely but I plan on catching up with this season at some point.
Never got into Mike & Molly. 2 Broke Girls had some moments but not enough to keep me watching (didn't help that CBS.com wasn't posting full episodes online). I don't know of any other sitcoms they do.
HIMYM is ending this year. I would guess Two and Half Men is probably on the cutting block as well. I see the final two episodes of this season for 2.5 are "How to Get Rid of Alan Harper" and "Welcome Home, Jake". So maybe they are wrapping things up.
CBS was comedy powerhouse for a few years but they don't have anything to step up and replace those shows. They'll be in trouble next season.

community, parks and rec and modern family are the only network comedies worth watching. south park and the new boondocks season too.
they are for dumb audiences
they get watched by a ton of idiots that laugh when the laugh track comes on ( not that there isnt good shows with laugh tracks)
look how awful this is without the laugh track
This sh1t is so ASS!!!
