At the time "Rules of Engagement" premiered on CBS, the network's average viewer was fifty-three years old and more devoted to "60 Minutes" than sexy badinage. Although committed to The Eye's Monday night youth movement, a few programming executives worried that David Spade's first-episode proclamation, "I do what I want. I date who I want. And I sleep with whoever will let me," would tank the new sit-com before it found its legs and voice. Instead, "Rules of Engagement" became a Monday night mainstay, a natural complement to "Two-and-a-Half Men" and "How I Met Your Mother." According to one pundit, "Rules of Engagement" shows "the three stages of sit-com love," comparing and contrasting a scoundrelly, scamming bachelor with both a love-struck, starry-eyed newly engaged couple and a jaded, open-eyed, realistic couple married to one another approximately forever. Although plots generally center on the fiancees, Jeff and Audrey, veterans of marriage, often save the show from life-threatening boredom. Patrick Warburton, poker-faced and intoning his lines in a deliciously monotone bass, makes the perfect foil to Russell, the bachelor's manic sex machine and Adam's ingenuousness.

One of the funniest talk shows released in 2012, Comedy Bang! Bang! owes its success a long history of weekly comedy audio podcast, which began in 2009 and was originated from Comedy Death-Ray stage talk show performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Hollywood. The person which is standing behind this success is an American writer and comedian Scott Aukerman, who started in 1990s in HBO's sketch comedy Mr. Show with Bob and David. Apperently, te seeds of great headway were laid in the fertile ground in these fabulous times and now we have one of the must-watched comedy shows on IFC which gone far away in success from its pursuer Bunk, which seems to be much less entertaining though has lots similar of similarities with Comedy Bang! Bang! Nevertheless Scott Aukerman continues to amuse the audience with uncommon tricks like strange persons falling out from the blue and talking to host and his guest before going nowhere. Aukerman's guests deserves some special attention: at the first look they are common Hollywood celebrities, like Amy Poehler or Zach Galifianakis but something in the way the host introduces them and is talking to them makes whole performance incredibly ludicrous. That's maybe a secret of a true master comedian.

From the 8th of March, 1993 until the 28th of November, 1997 a "socially awkward" yet somehow lovable duo with the unlikely names of Beavis and Butthead ruled the MTV airwaves. The pair loved heavy metal rock and roll and hailed from the fictionalized town of Highland, Texas where they grew up with no apparent adult supervision (think Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus). Highland High School teachers didn't quite know how to deal with the rather dim-witted pair"¦ that is when the two even bothered to attend school. This may be simply a lesson in how not to survive the teen years or perhaps a cautionary tale of how to be obnoxious and perverted while giving commentary on popular music videos. In any case those around Beavis and Butthead tend to get in harms way while the "boys" skate free. As in the time Butthead fired a rifle that resulted in hitting an airliner (a Boeing 747). With part time jobs at the local Burger World, among others, and still wearing their AC/DC t-shirts they manage to survive as they provide bawdy comments for today's reality TV shows like Teen Cribs, UFC fights, and Jersey Shore.
