What do you think? Will you be watching the last episode of Two and a Half Men? How about the debut of the new version of The Odd Couple?
This doesn’t bode well for CBS’ Thursday night line-up and it looks like Mom may get crushed in the ratings by The Blacklist (NBC) and Scandal (ABC).
Two and a half men, I will not miss you.
