Look, I don't mind you hanging up on a word. You weren't patronizing or sarcastic to me, you provided good arguments and we discussed this in a civilized manner.

Yeah, I agree. He should take the career turn that Ray Romano did. He has millions by now and can be really good in drama.

There were 7 people who upvoted my comment, so… no, I'm not.

But that's unrealistic. Come on, you know that. Obviously, you're not ending a show and literally (#ChrisTraegerFeelings) doing the exact same show immediately afterwards. Within the confines of reality, it's ironic that a show is starting immediately before another show is ending and they're both so incredibly…

I knew about FWBL-HIMYM pairing, I did not think about it when I wrote the post as I completely forgot that show ever existed.

Fair enough. I understand your point, and I know that's how business works. But I still single out this case because it sounds like the exact same thing (I'll say sounds because yes, I did not watch the show). It's not like NBC trying to coast on the success of The Office and doing Parks and Recreation, which at least…

Please, don't hold back. Do "make a list of al the wrong things I said".

Yeah, but that was more of a genre than an outright copy, especially since what made HIMYM popular wasn't the friends hanging out stuff, it was more the mithology about the mother (which's why the show was written out by the audience at first, but became a hit in its final years). To my knowledge, the "slob and neat…

You ignored my last paragraph. I'll post here the definition of irony that I posted above: "[Irony] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case".

I will allow that as a possibility, though it was never something disputed by the people who claimed I misused the word.

Good God, Lemon!

Read the discussion below. It can be both things. But I'll just post here the definition of irony from wikipedia to clarify things: "[Irony] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case".

I would accept it if I were wrong, but I'm not. Anyway…

It does. But then again, I don't think there's a sitcom currently airing on network TV that is worse than Two and a Half Men.

Again, one thing doesn't negate the other (or it can be both things). CBS is ending a show, but it actually isn't. Not trying to be rude, but is it really so difficult to understand my point?

No. Irony is not defined by the intention. It can be unintentional just as it can be intentional.

One thing doesn't negate the other.

The irony is that they're ending a show, but not really? Didn't think it would be necessary to spell things out since it was so glaringly obvious.

In my defense: I only saw it now that this was mentioned in the "What's on Tonight?" post.

The fact that this is premiering in the same night that Two and a Half Men is ending is insanely ironic. This show sounds like it was designed to take over that show's audience.
