Hedonistic bachelor Charlie (Charlie Sheen) is a jingles writer who, he blithely states, makes a lot of money for doing very little work, sleeps with beautiful women who don't ask about his feelings, drives a Jag and lives at the beach, and sometimes, in the middle of the day, for no reason at all, likes to make himself a big pitcher of margaritas and take a nap out on the sundeck. His brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), evicted from his house by his soon-to-be-ex-wife, is "rigid, inflexible, uptight, obsessive and anal-retentive." Charlie and Alan are "twisted Jungian archetypes," according to series co-creator Chuck Lorre in one of this set's bonus features. If by "twisted Jungian archetypes," he means Oscar and Felix from IThe Odd Couple/I, then yes, Charlie and Alan are "twisted Jungian archetypes," and this inaugural season finds rich comic tension in their period of adjustment. Charlie is a Man Behaving Badly, whose idyllic life is upended when "fuddy-duddy" Alan moves in, accompanied by his impressionable 10-year-old son, Jake (Angus T. Jones), with whom he shares custody with his iceberg-cold, sexually confused (a comic conceit thankfully abandoned by season's end) estranged wife, Judith (Marin Hinkle). Alan is a single father who is appalled by his amoral brother's lifestyle and by the influence Charlie might have on Jake ("Uncle Charlie, I understand the point spread, but I'm still confused about the vig"). And then there's Berta (effortless scene-stealer Conchata Ferrell), Charlie's formidable, tart-tongued housekeeper who is initially driven out the door by Alan's fussiness ("The peanut butter stains on Jake's shirts really require an enzyme presoak").p ITwo and a Half Men/I is a guy show that sets feminism back a good three decades. Women are portrayed as either bimbonic objects of lust (ITransformers/I' Megan Fox guest stars as Berta's teenage granddaughter), vengeful and retaliative (Heather Locklear as Alan's divorce lawyer), crazy hot (Jenna Elfman as an unstable single mother on the run), or emasculating (Holland Taylor as Charlie and Alan's mother, or, as Charlie refers to her, "Mom, the Impaler"). The charming Melanie Lynskey's is a particularly thankless role, that of Rose, Charlie's "insightful and disturbing" stalker, who becomes Jake's babysitter. While Charlie's "bad-boy act" could quickly get old in lesser hands, Sheen, in the past not the most natural of comic actors, is in his element. Charlie's genuine affection for Jake goes a long way toward redeeming his character (and lack of it). ITwo and a Half Men/I, a People's Choice Award-winner its first season, really adds up with a crudely funny sense of humor that is all kinds of wrong, but also smart and, at times, even sweet. --IDonald Liebenson/I

 Sigh, It's a Sitcom January 5, 2009
R. A Rubin (Eastern, PA United States)
I can usually rate a series by whether or not I want to see the next season. In the case of 2 and Men, guess I'll catch it on cable because it really doesn't matter if it's viewed chronologically, mildly amusing, but no great shakes. br / br /The Charlie Sheen character has an ancestor on 1950's TV, the Bob Cummins role in Love That Bob. They should have stuck to that idea more closely, because the 1950's swinger and pinups seem to be having genuine fun. Charlie Sheen, I have no idea why a woman would want him unless California chicks are pathetic beach house groupies. Hmm, maybe they are? Charlie's more regimented brother, Jon Cryer, come on, he's not believable as a husband or a parent. Throw in the usual wacko's, demented neighbors, and overbearing mothers. Sigh, it's a sitcom. br /

We've recently started watching "Two and a Half Men" in reruns and find it hysterical! I bought the first season for my husband's birthday last month and we have watched the first three or four episodes. They always bring on "laugh out loud" moments!
LOVE THIS SHOW! October 11, 2008

Great show; you'd think Charlie Sheen Jon Cryer were really brothers. Love the outtakes!
