One script, Two sitcom

This week ,i  watch two kinds  of American sitcom, one called " The Big Bang Theory."
Other called" Two and a Half Men".

The Big Bang Theory created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. The show premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.[4] The ninth season premiered on September 21, 2015.

Two and a Half Men is an American television sitcom that began broadcast on CBS on September 22, 2003, and ended on February 19, 2015 after twelve seasons. 

Chuck Lorre  is an American television writer, director, producer, composer, and production manager. He has created a number of successful sitcoms such as Grace Under FireCybillDharma & GregTwo and a Half MenThe Big Bang Theory, and Mom.

When i research The Big Bang Theory  and Two and a Half Men, i find a phenomenon that The Big Bang Theory is famous in China, But in American, there are less of people watch it. Two and a Half man is famous in American, But when i quest my Chinese friends (They like watching American sitcom), None of them watch Two and a Half man.  i confuse that they are created by the same script writer, But why they famous in different countries.

When i watch those sitcom, i find the reason of that phenomenon. Two and a Half Men many dialogue is talk about sex. When american audience watch those dialogue they feel very happy. Because in american culture, sex is very popular, everyone can agree it. 
However, in China, Chinese audience own tradition culture, they think sex is limit topic.  So, in Chinese sitcom, topic is always talk family or friends. and this is one of reason that Chinese sitcom can't famous in american.
