How does CBS feel about Chuck Lorre comedies? Really good apparently. Word is, the network has just picked up Two and a Half Men for three additional seasons, while The Big Bang Theory has been given the green light for another two. A nice vote of confidence, no?

Thoughts? (http://blog.zap2it.com/korbitv/2009/03/breaking-cbs-rumored-to-be-renewing-two-and-a-half-men-for-3-more-big-bang-for-2.html)

If true, this gives "Big Bang" a secure spot in syndication for the 2011-12 season, while "Men" is secured to run through the 2011-12 season.

LOVES IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW it is official...
