There are so many shows on TV, and most of them are crap. I have to wonder who the target audience for the shows is and why they are still on the air, while shows like Arrested Development are canceled due to low ratings. Examples:
Two and a Half Men - Charlie Sheen sucks at acting, even when he is basically playing himself
Kath and Kim - Make it stop, Molly Shannon.
NCIS - CSI rearranged with an extra letter.
Hole in the Wall - where people have to jump through a hole in a wall. They seem to prefer fat people to do the jumping.
The original Law and Order - It had its moments, but please let it die.

Yes, But I'm talking about the ones that are so crappy that I don't believe people actually watch them. I would never watch "the Batchelor," but I am aware of the existence of people who do.

Yes, I know, but with the Internet, why would people need all that ridiculous context the show forces on viewers?

The popularity of two and a half men has always perplexed me.
Also, Survivor is still very popular. I wasn't even aware it was still on till recently.

Yes, but you have to look at John Cryer and that fat little kid.

I've always had a thing for Berta the maid, I like her character.
yeah, the show can get really cheesy at times, but it's nice mindless humor when emptying my head.

NCIS is about as much like CSI as Law and Order or another crime oriented show.
It's pretty good. A JAG spin off and actually a lot better. JAG had a lot of very cheesy episodes. NCIS is at least somewhat grounded in reality.

They've done a pretty good job with the show. I'm kind of ticked work got in the way of catching the last few episodes last season.
And if any one needs a reason to watch:

Mostly I hate Zach Braff and how he has pulled one over on American into believing his dick jokes are smart.
