Calling All Man-Whore Characters! CBS Has an Opening!

Categories: Television, Trend Watch

Manwhore_lWhoever is programming CBS’s Monday night line-up between the hours of 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. is on a sleazy man-whore roll! Every sitcom on that night currently has a sleazy man-whore as a mascot/breakout character — except for one, The Class, and that show aired what was most likely its series finale Monday night. How I Met Your Mother has the metrosexual horn-dog (and. in my opinion. the best of ‘em) Barney Stinson. (Neil Patrick Harris, upper left). Two and a Half Men has the sleazy man-whore who started the trend, Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen, upper right). And Rules of Engagement has the indiscriminate skirt-chaser Russell, who apparently can’t even commit to a last name (David Spade, lower left). Next week sees the return of The New Adventures of Old Christine; do we want to place bets on a new character showing up on Christine’s stoop? Perhaps a confirmed bachelor who is a bit full of himself, with great one-liners known as the town’s ladies man? And who should play this new man-whore?

    Why do you say it was likely the season finale for The Class? I really like that show!

  • Ep Sato

    Barney is the bees knees, but 2.5 dudes is on at the same time as other shows I watch. And Spade? Why is that unfunny and uninsightful “insider” still on tv? He was okay as Chris Farley’s sidekick. Without Farley, Spade is like a bag of crushed nuts with no sundae to drop them on, which is not much fun at all

  • Ron Mwangaguhunga

    Charlie Harper is not a “character.” Charlie Harper is Charlie Sheen writ large.

  • Sara

    I like “The Class” too :-/

  • Liza

    I agree with you Ep Sato, Spade is NOT funny. And I hate his new face. He’s had alot of work done. Not pretty!

  • Liza

    I just went to confirm on CBS.com, last night’s The Class was the season finale.

  • mike

    Spade is better on Comedy Central’s Showbiz Show. NPH is the best by far.

  • Kristin

    I am thinking Steven Weber on Christine. I love him on Studio 60, more than on Wings. Unfortunely, I don’t think 60 isn’t going to be around next year, so why not give this guy a shot?

  • Ryan

    Maybe they’ll just make Christine’s brother Matthew more of a man-whore. I guess since Andy Richter has his own show starting this week, we can say goodbye to Sad Dad.

  • Blink

    I love “The Class” too, I think is such a funny show. Hopefully it was season finally and not series finally. Please CBS give The Class another chance!!

  • Nomers

    The Barnacle RULES! He is awe…wait for it…some!!!!!!

  • Allison

    The Class is the best show out of those three– and somehow it gets canned, while the other crappy shows are still on.

  • Erin

    I love The Class, I am sad to hear that it may be canceled. I think that the characters are so funny, I look forward each Monday to watching it and How I Met Your Mother. How sad.

    Sorry but I don’t buy NPH as a heterosexual, let alone a ladies man- he’s too flaming to pull it off. Kind of like Nathan Lane trying to play it straight- too much of a stretch.

  • Nose

    noneya, if NPH hadn’t ‘come out’, as it were, you probably wouldn’t be making those comments at all. And he is hardly “flaming.”
