LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Christina Applegate was named favorite female television star at the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles Wednesday night.

"Thanks to all of you for the incredible amount of love and support you've given me over the last few months. It has not gone unnoticed and it was really needed. So thank you from the bottom of my heart," the "Samantha Who?" star said, referring to the outpouring of good will she received from fans after announcing she had been treated for breast cancer.

"Two and a Half Men" won the prize for favorite television comedy.

"Now that we're in our sixth season and I'm finally old enough to get some of the jokes, it's a hell of a show," said Angus T. Jones, the 15-year-old co-star of "Men."

"House" was named favorite television drama and its star Hugh Laurie won the award for favorite male television star.
