A measure of where the world is today can be seen in its response to Angus Jones caution when he warned viewers to not watch Two and a Half Men. TV Guide reported the ratings shortly after his warning hit the internet.
"Sorry, Angus. People are still watching Two and a Half Men. Days after a video surfaced of Angus T. Jones calling his hit sitcom 'filth' and urging fans not to watch it, Men matched its season high Thursday with 13.8 million viewers and a 4.1 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic. Men was the only show of CBS' lineup not to dip." TV Guide
