Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: After only two episodes, CBS has canceled the new Monday night sitcom, “We Are Men,” about four men struggling in their relationships with women. In its place at 8:30 p.m., CBS is moving “Two Broke Girls,” about two women struggling in their relationships with men. And subbing for it at 9 p.m. will be reruns of “The Big Bang Theory,” about four men struggling in their relationships with women. Remaining for now at 10 p.m., is the new drama, “Hostages,” about kidnappers struggling in their relationship with their hostages.
Tune in next week as we watch CBS struggle to keep its viewers and advertisers.

Or, to put it in Congressional terms, the House of Representatives.
