The answer? Apparently, pretty damned bad.

I've managed to watch about ten minute chunks of the show maybe two or three times and I have to say, with no disrespect intended to fans, that this is the most laughless, two-dimensional, deadening 'sitcom' I think I've ever seen. Yes, I've followed some dogs in my time, but at LEAST they have likeable characters to leaven the cliched scripts. Watching this show is like giving up on quality for all time, surrendering to the notion that 'if it's on, I'll watch it, just because I've always watched it, and I'll laugh when the nice laugh track tells me to."

Ugh.

Exactly - it IS a trainwreck and that's why some people are still tuning in!!!

This show is still a Cash Cow for CBS...why else would they protect it by giving it the post BBT slot? Possibly also not to incense producer Chuck Lorre either. But since Two has moved--I noticed that CBS's Monday night lineup has virtually collapsed. NBC's "The Voice" has gotten more viewers this season and you still have ABC's 1-2 punch of "Dancing..." and "Castle". CBS has already canceled "Partners" and the other shows are down in viewership.

How many years did CBS dominate Monday nights? 25? I still remember when Newhart and Designing Women aired on Monday nights way back in the day.

Except for a few years CBS has been pretty successful on Mondays since the days of I Love Lucy.

CBS could fix their Monday night problems by moving TBBT to 9:00. All their shows would rise again.

Charlie Sheen on Angus T. Jones Flap: He's 'Over-Influenced'
1/8/2013
by Lesley Goldberg

Charlie Sheen doesn't think his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Angus T. Jones is "crazy" for his recent remarks calling the CBS comedy "filth."

"I get it, it's a weird place and people tend to have a different perspective on life working over there," the fired star told The Hollywood Reporter during a Fox party at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour.

"He's a good kid and maybe he's just going through a phase but it's hard to comment on something if I'm not there," added Sheen. "I don't think he's crazy, I just think he's a little maybe over-influenced in some other beliefs. I don't know but it seemed like he was doing all right; I like the apology his lawyers wrote for him -- that was pretty good."
