My new favorite night of television during the week: Monday.

Why? CBS' lineup of "Big Bang Theory," "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men." I know that Julia Louis-Dreyfuss has a show in there, but it hasn't caught my attention the way the others have, particularly HIMYM and Two and a Half Men.

Bottom line: CBS has in its employ two of the most talented comedic actors going right now in Neil Patrick Harris and Charlie Sheen, and whereas NBC captured audience share a couple of years ago with its originality in programs like My Name Is Earl and The Office, CBS should be doing the same now by essentially reviving the great American sitcom.

CBS' Monday night lineup features three of the best conventional sitcoms since the early 1990s on NBC. However, I've already espoused the greatness of Big Bang Theory, against the grain of the mostly terrible reviews it received in its first season.

I don't think CBS' overall ratings on Monday night are that hot. Last I saw, HIMYM was averaging about No. 53 in the Nielsen ratings each week for this, its third season.

Hope they have the patience NBC did with their Thursday night lineup. Patience is a must in building an audience, whether its in television or on the Web. Patience and perseverance. If you've got a great product, stick with it until it sticks with people.

Now, some of my favorite clips from HIMYM and Two and a Half Men:

Two and a Half Men - "Senor Charlie". Charlie gets hammered, and somebody paints a mustache on his lip.

How I Met Your Mother - Barney's Greatest Hits. A montage of great Barney Stinson (Harris) clips from Season 1.
