Two and a Half Men


I started watching Two and a Half Men when they started rerunning episodes in the middle of the day. Even though the show got a lot of buzz the premise didn't interest me in the least, but I'll watch anything when I'm bored. To my surprise Two and a Half Men was funny and the characters (supporting not main) were interesting. Berta, the mom, and the stalker former one night stand that lives next door are all hilarious. The little boy, Jake, was adorable when the show began but as he got older the character got weaker and weaker. I hate when the writers make a character unrealistically stupid. Why couldn't he have been of normal wit?

Anyway, Two and a Half Men jumped a major shark when they introduced Chelsea (played by Jennifer Taylor) as Charlie's fiancee. Ok so I don't want to be mean but Charlie is supposed to be a ladies man, the love them and leave them type. He is often seen with young beautiful women. Chelsea is neither of those things. And Jennifer should have taken a few more acting classes before she took a role on a prime time comedy. I mean really her acting is bad. She probably knows some body.

This last season has been full of bad decisions that should have been stopped by the show's producers way before they made air. This is why I wasn't upset when Charlie Sheen announced he was leaving the show. He said he wanted to do movies, but it's no secret that his personal life is a hot mess. CBS hasn't announced the end of the series but without the star cancellation is inevitable.

I'll continue to watch the reruns of the episodes I've missed and will just pretend this last season never happened.
