Now, in the 2003-2004 fall prime-time schedule, the six major public channels each have different sitcoms.
At the eight o'clock and nine o'clock slots, on Monday CBS had "Yes, Dear" Season 4 (last week's ratings rank 41), "Still Standing" Season 2 (29), "Everybody Loves Raymond" Season 8 (13), and "Two and a Half Men" Season 1 (16). These four series all share a common theme and content related to families, with child characters, and conflicts in education and values creating humor and meaning. This is now CBS's steadfast style. On another "Sitcom Broadcast Day," Wednesday, they also had "The King of Queens" Season 6 (34), telling the story of a blue-collar couple of delivery workers; "Becker" Season 6 (47), depicting the pessimistic doctor John Becker in his small clinic and the interesting world of his patients and colleagues.
