Default Two And A Half Men

What is it with Channel 9 and their airing of this series? In an effort to play catch up with a tv sitcom which they aired late (and not "fast tracked" like The Fringe) they show an episode each weekday night at 7pm with additional episodes on Tuesday and Wednesday or when they feel like it. My gripe is the order in which they show them is seemingly random. It's plainly obvious when the character Jake, who is supposedly 10 years old at the beginning of the series, shoots up a foot in height, has long lanky hair, has an attitude and is no longer short, fat and cute. The other characters Alan and Charlie look much the same as do the rest of the cast; you can't count the stream of bimbo-esque women who Charlie date as they only ever make one appearance (apart from one or two special ones).
Is this typical of 9's programming or is this typical of all tv programming?

who cares, if you don't like it turn it over or off. Why get so bothered about it.

Whoa steady on boyo. I like the series that's why I watch it :-) Ofcourse when watching a series it helps when the episodes are played in series.

Ha ha ha I thought as much. It's not that Two And ... has much of a story line ... I guess they think we're too dumb to notice.

I find the best thing with these US programmes is to download the whole series (or every episode for that matter) off the internet and watch it straight through.

I'm currently working my way through series 2 of Dexter.
