Um, he is quite rich. He's a successful jingle writer and part creator of a Barney-type creature. He lives in a large, seafront apartment and drives a top of the range Merc. Brain-dead women go for that all the time... The premise is that he took in his brother after said brother's divorce, and brother's kid stays with them for weekends. What I've always wondered about that series, though, is who on it really, really hates Emily Deschanel... Remember the episode where Kandi gets the part in a detective series..? So based on Bones...
Wow, the dude has money? I never got that. I couldn't even get a jist of Charlie working. Like he just existed to meet women.
We pretty much never see hime working. Maybe one or two episodes have shown him composing. The point of the show is his being a 40-something who still acts like a pathetic horny frat boy, and his brother's patheticness in general, and lotsa sex jokes.
I wonder if they feel they are covering new ground with their brand of sex jokes? I agree with the assessment and find it to be quite stale after a number of years of the same ole crap.
Apparently you've never been forced to watch the "Quality Family Programming" that is broadcast on the Disney Channel. Just hearing it on another TV in the house makes me want to ingest Drano. Bad plots, bad jokes, bad dialogue; all performed so badly by these so-called 'actors' that it makes Saved By the Bell look like Taxi. Bambi's mother must be spinning in her grave.
You know I always got the feeling this show was supposed to be about two gay characters and the network decided not to take the chance and air it, so some network ex retooled it into what it is. That's just the vibe I get watching that show - retooled gay comedy.
Taste is of course subjective, and again, I've not been exposed to most of one episode and snippets while changing the channel. But I would say "The Office," "My Name is Earl," "Everybody Hates Chris" and "How I Met Your Mother" are all funnier. I stand corrected on his wealth. I guess the problem I have is with the premise. Why put up with your wet blanket bro and sometimes his kid when you can afford to live your hedonistic, fun lifestyle?
