I swore off TV sitcoms a long time ago, but this show has managed to make me literally laugh out loud while watching it without even anyone around. It's lewd and crude and I suppose if that's not your humor then it wouldn't be for your but it's nice to see original and clever material.
Two And A Half Men

-
I can see why it's popular but it isn't a program I make sure I always watch when it is on. It's more of a show that I watch when there is nothing else one.

"now back to 2 and a half man"
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
i love family guy..
anywho
yeah the show is ok i guess it has its times.

Dum dum dum dum dum dumdumdum uuuwwwwww :D

I agree. That's pretty much my take on it.

I saw it a few times. Not bad, but the times saw it, I was in the gym and would've turned if I could.

So
I realise that bumping this thread when in a few days time the latest post would have been eight years ago seems a bit odd…..at least the part about me not waiting six days to make it eight full years, but I wanted to discuss and share my opinions on the show here, and I think it's fitting that the given the last post here was made halfway into Charlie Sheen's run, when there was no indication the show could continue without him, in relation to what I have to say.
I've started watched the post Charlie Sheen episodes recently. And honestly it feels like the dynamic is missing something for me. Kutcher's character seems way too nice, and it also feels like the house and the place in it isn't really his. It just feels really weird for me to see this guy strutting around the place I've come to associate with Charlie for Seven Seasons. I've seen at least half a dozen episodes in no particular order now, but he seems out of place.
Honestly wish the show would have ended with Sheen's departure, as the whole Rose thing.....I was never a fan of finding her creepy obsessive stalking funny, and now when she actually is supposed to have killed Charlie, well all those scenes that felt wrong back then feel ever worse in retrospect and those scenes that were supposed to be heartwarming just feel all kinds of awkward.
-
I wish the show would have ended after the pilot was shot.
-
I only watched two episodes since Kutcher (who i loathe) took over. The first, and the one where he finds out he was raised by a gorilla or something like that….then he is all depressed, until they finally reunite and Kutcher and the gorilla are happy, dancing and hugging. That was enough.
-
I like the show's existence because when someone says they watch it, I know they have a delicate little comedy flower that I can ruin by showing them actual funny stuff, like say It's Always Sunny. They may feel alienated without the comfort of the mechanical laughtrack, though.

They'd be too busy paying attention to the Anger Management commercials and their coloring books to enjoy Its Always Sunny.
This show is the worst comedy on CBS. And I hate all of CBS' comedies.
-
I liked the show back before Sheen's departure, but even then it wasn't my most favourite show ever, just something I tuned into when it was on when I remembered to, or didn't have anything else to watch, and usually was entertained by it.
Except everything about Rose cause even though creepy stalkers who end up murdering their victim are fun and all, there's this strange feeling in my head that there might be something wrong about that setup, can't put my finger on why :getlost:
But now they've sunk even below that level of passive enjoyment.
-
I really liked the first three or four seasons. They utilized Jake very well there e.g. how he was exposed to Charlie's world and the general dynamic of the relationship. Then it started going down hill. They made Jake unbelievably dumb. Alan started to become, uhm, disgusting, I think.
At the start of the show he was a regular guy who had to handle a lazy son and womanizer of a brother. That was fun. Then Charlie's ways started to spill over to Alan, and that was also fun. Now they've stripped him of any honor, any decency, any likable qualities. Like his son, he became the extreme of his quirks. That often often happens in shows that run too long. Like George from Seinfeld who toward the later seasons started to yell out every bloody thing.

They did change him over time from a guy who just had really shit luck (as for example having ever married his wife) to a disgusting leech that was commanding authority he didn't have, decided things he didn't have a right to, and did things which were dickish at best.
Mind you when he moves away from Kutcher (I have no idea what his in series character is called after watching like three episodes with him recently, that about sums up what a massive impact he's left on me) he gets so badly beaten and bruised while just trying to go at it with his girlfriend I did feel legitimately sorry for him.
However on the other side of the spectrum, I don't even remember what the Kutcher portion of the episode was about.

And I hate all of CBS' comedies.
Ouch. While How I Met Your Mother is the only one I would go out of my way to defend, at least Big Bang Theory has a terrific cast (honestly they're one of the best ensembles, right there with Community, Always Sunny, Parks and Rec, and HIMYM) and will pull out 5 pretty solidly hilarious episodes every season.
While the only CBS shows I actively love is Elementary and HIMYM, I do think the rampant hate for the network is getting a little out of hand.

Wait both this and HIMYM is made by the same team…..and yet T&1/2M's characters have become this shit ?

Nah. HIMYM is a different team, luckily.

I don't hate any of them for being disgusting, that's a big difference.

I'm not going to even argue with you about Big Bang, because I'm sure you've heard about how terrible it is before from others who thinks he show is bad. And HIMYM is a Friends clone that has never made me actually laugh. It may have cause me to slightly chuckle, so I will give it that, but nothing that lasts more than .5 seconds.

Two and a Half Men was always insulting levels of awful, it will always be insulting levels of awful, and I am insulted that there's even a thread here at all lol I will never forgive this necro, or that this thread existed at all 2006 be damned.

I wonder why Greg hasn't come over and posted here yet :ninja:

I tried to watch T&HM with Kutcher but I couldn't do it even if Sheen had his issues outside of the show it just wasn't the same show without him.
-
I can't stand HIMYM. It's just so damn boring. The Barney playboy character is so forced and all the jokes are just so awkward and unfunny.
Everyone raaaaves about it in my friend's circle. I tried watching 4 episodes from different seasons, I just couldn't get into it. At all.Even the dumb, samey shit that goes on in Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory are kinda funny sometimes.
-
Before I knew what comedy was, Two and a Half Men was mildly funny. But this show is so dead right now it doesn't even warrant discussion.
But I agree that the "CBS=BAD" meme is a little misguided these days, though hilarious. (It's easier to blame NBC's failure on CBS's success :P)
Seriously, go watch Mom. It's actually a pretty good CBS sitcom, even if Alison Janney is the only thing remotely funny about it.
Also, The Good Wife is fantastic. And I'm super hyped for Intelligence.

Gotta join the "loves HIMYM/BigBang" camp. I couldn't care less about the abomination T&HM has become, but the former two shows I very much enjoy watching.

Elementary and Person of Interest are great too.
ABC has the worst shows on TV.

Scandal and Revenge disagree with you, IMMENSELY.
Fox has Dads.

I stopped watching Revenge halfway through clusterfuck season 2.
-
Well, season 3 thankfully decided it had no intentions of being terrible.
-
I love the fact that this thread has provided a 1/4 page of discussion a year.
Quite rightly too, the show is abysmal.
-
It's so shit it's funny.
-
No, sweetie, it isn't. :unsure:

And I guess it's over for good.
I went and watched the final, expecting to see a certain someone reappear only to then… well, you'll see for yourself.
Chuck Lorre's vanity card shown at the end of the episode (beware, spoilers)
! "I know a lot of you might be disappointed that you didn’t get to see Charlie Sheen in tonight’s finale. For the record, he was offered a role. Our idea was to have him walk up to the front door in the last scene, ring the doorbell, then turn, look directly into the camera and go off on a maniacal rant about the dangers of drug abuse. He would then explain that these dangers only applied to average people. That he was far from average. He was a ninja warrior from Mars. He was invincible. And then we would drop a piano on him. We thought it was funny. He didn’t. Instead, he wanted us to write a heart warming scene that would set up his return to primetime TV in a new sitcom called The Harpers starring him and Jon Cryer. We thought that was funny too."
