I don't get the hate for Two and a Half Men. It's a guilty pleasure-- a raunchy, funny show that let's you turn your brain off for thirty minutes... and doesn't try to be anything otherwise.
And yet Married With Children seems to be revered by most TV-philes. Go figure

I hate the show and the fact that many of my favorite shows like Pushing Daisies are gone, while Two and a half Men survives
That said, and I hate to admit this, you may be on to something in terms of the show not trying to be anything other than what it is.
But it still sucks....

thought the show was pretty enjoyable and seemed to move very briskly. i thought i would dislike the segmented aspect, but didn't and think it worked. everyone seemed to be having fun and just enjoying the show and it was evident in every aspect. NPH was good, didn't do too much and was just enough of him to keep things moving and light.
rather enjoyed everything about this year and more memorable then any other in recent well memory.

s 30 Rock & Mad Men yet again. awesome!

I get the hate. I don't agree with it (I like 2 1/2, for the same reason, while I also like the 'intelligent' comedies like 30R), but I get it.
That being said, I wouldn't have voted for Jon Cryer.
