Two And A Half Men


(12)

The Harper brothers Charlie (Charlie Sheen) and Alan (Jon Cryer) are almost opposites but form a great team. After years they had little in common except their dislike for their mundane, maternally cold but domineering mother Evelyn, Allan, a compulsively neat chiropractor and control-freak, is thrown out by his manipulative wife Judith (Marin Hinkle)who nevertheless gets him to pay for everything and do most jobs in the house. Charlie, a freelance jingle composer in a luxurious beach-house and irresistible Casanova who rarely gets up before brunch around noon, puts him up 'temporarily' with his son Jake (Angus T. Jones), a lazy fat school kid who shuttles between his parents. This starts off the sitcom around their conflicting lifestyles, such as how to raise the boy (who now has an efficient, caring dad for the boring stuff while having a ball with his fun-loving sugar uncle who teaches him boyish things), be moralistic or have fun, a stickler or popular, what's a 'white' lie... Other fairly regular characters include Charlie's fat cleaning lady Bertha (Conchata Ferrell) and his rich, obsessively infatuated neighbor-girl Rose who often sneaks in. (Holland Taylor), (Melanie Lynskey)

Really funny series, I think Angus is really funny in this, along side Charlie Sheen. One of my favourites!!!
