Im not sure but maybe if Two and a half men is more popular amongst men than women.There has been something like 5 or 6 series of The Big Bang theory and I think I have seen alot of them.If you can get hold of dvd box sets of the show or they show reruns,then watching the previous series is highly recomended.So far I dont think I seen an episode that was not at least funny in parts.Gladiator is a deeper film than some people realise and the ending caused a tear in my eye.Are you looking forward to the Hobbit films.Im am looking forward to the films.The films I liked are Hancock,Something about Mary,Wallie,Ice age films,Shrek films,Bruce Almighty,Superman films and lots of others
