Two and a Half Men Tops Prime Video Streaming Reach
DWDL reports that in calendar week 31 (27 July–2 August 2026) the sitcom Two and a Half Men remained a strong performer on streaming: AGF data shows a streaming net reach of roughly 0.57 million on Prime Video, making it Amazon's highest-ranking program brand and placing it eighth overall among program brands. Fictionally only RTL's GZSZ (1.03 million) had a higher net reach that week. The AGF SCOPE 1.15 ranking — which counts contacts with a program brand across on‑platform streaming clips and full episodes (excluding YouTube and social networks) — was led by news brands (Tagesschau, ntv Nachrichten, ZDFheute). Joyn placed three program brands in the list, including ran Racing (0.764 million). The article was published on DWDL.de on 2026-08-11 and cites AGF Videoforschung as the data source.
