@@FactsVerse seriously though? How do you pick just one? So many good episodes. I think what made it work for me, was I loved all the characters. And the writers were amazing. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I loved the show with the witch and Charlie was just great Remember when he was at the meeting and all her witch friends were there he was in heaven .They all were hilarious.
The Evelyn/Lydia meeting has a moment of pure comedic timing. After they leave, Berta points out, "The only difference between those broads is you came out of one". The interuption of Charlie before she could say more, is comedy gold. They set the joke up and didn't even have to finish it for everyone to get it. The sceen finishes off perfectly. Mid way through the scene, Berta looks at Jake, while poking fun at Charlie, and says, "and they call you slow." The sceen ends with Jake asking, "Who calls me slow?" Great set up and punchline. There is just enough time between the two statements that the point is made, but not enough time that you forget the earlier statement. Excellent writing and acting.
I’ve watched all episodes of Two and a Half Men. Loved all the episodes, especially ones with Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen. Jon should make amends with Charlie.
Jon Cryer speaks respectfully of Sheen, citing Sheen’s dropping out of sobriety as the reason for Sheen’s fall. Cryer didn’t seem bitter which is more than can be said for Sheen.
My favorite episode, will forever be the "Bootie Call"... Jon Cryer was absolutlely genius in this scene!! I've always wondered how many takes it took to get this right....I still laugh everytime I watch it😂😂😂
I don't have a favorite episode of "Two And A Half Men". I like all the ones I've seen so far. Also, I thought Charlie died because Alan said so in one episode. But, after finding an article about Charlie Sheen and a picture of him, I wasn't so sure. I didn't know he got terminated from the show. That sucks! "Two And A Half Men" is a great sitcom! I've been watching it since I was little!
John Cryer acts like he was the star of the show when in reality anyone could have played the part of a mooch. I also think he was playing his real self.
I absolutely loved Two and a Half Men when Charlie Sheen was in it. Charlie Sheen is what made the show. When he left it was no good at all anymore. I did love Jake and Berta also.
Jon Cryer is my favorite live action version of Lex Luthor. I'd honestly love to him reprise that role in a big movie. Never watched 2 an half men that was always my dads show lol
Cryer is a class act! I respect his professionalism and compassion toward a man who ruined a good thing for both of them. I hope they both have a renaissance in their careers soon.
Couldn't believe Sheen was making $2 million an episode. How could you let that cash cow get away? Charlie seems to muddle everything in his personal life.
Kutcher couldn't save the show for two reasons. 1 - Out of desperation it seems, the producers put too much emphasis on Cryer's role who became more and more unbearable, not funny. 2 - The fact that most casual viewers get used to something and hate change. Kutscher was supposed to fill the vacuum left by Sheen's departure, which he did in an admirable manner. He was NOT supposed to be a new Charlie!
I got so many favorites that I`m going to start watching reruns soon. But one that comes to mind is when Allen admits having sex with the old lady next door for a Rollex. Charlie says,," Oh ..no big deal Allen. ,,How do you think I got this piano?" Hey,,,I needed a piano. Also,,,,When Berta said to Allen " I can make the Roadrunner do jumpingjacks.".
Everyone knows that the show jumped the shark when Sheen flew the coop. They could have just replaced Sheen with Ryan Stiles, by having him ALSO divorce Judith and come to take Charlie's place, and have Alan's new "personality" take over to "grow some balls." That would have been PERFECT TIMING. But when Sheen left, "bad Alan" was just never seen again. And then the shit hit the fans.
I loved the show when it first started, then as i went on didn't like it that much. When Ashton came on i liked it again, i ALWAYS loved Jon Cryer, their Mom and Berta were the best on the show. I felt really bad for the guy who played in the show, Angus.
Cryer should of stood behind Sheen despite the problems they had. I think Sheen may have a point.... I don't think I finished an entire episode during Kushton's reign. Despite not having any beef with Ashton, it just wasn't the same anymore without Charlie.
I always thought Angus T. Jones had perfect Comedic Timing. His leaving didn’t help the show stay on top. The scenes with him and Charlie were the best.
You cant make Another "Gone with the wind",Ben Hur with Heston, "Batman 1989, Terminator 1-2. There some movies you just dont touch. Same with 2 and half men. Kuschner did his best but it sucked. You cant replace Ed ONeil as role as Al Bundy same with Charlie.
I was a big fan of the show. In my opinion Charlie got tired of playing the same character (himself) week in and week out. He had the highest salary in TV at the time, but he was bored playing himself. It’s really too bad.
I’ve been curious, ever since Jon Cryer came out with his “shaved head” look. At what point in “2½ Men” did Cryer start losing his hair? Or was he balding right from the beginning & they manually enhanced his hair since day one?
My humble opinoin; they should never have gone with Ashton and instead had Ryan Stiles character divorce Judith and move into the beach house with Alan. Ryan Stiles is an incredibly funny actor and always had great episodes.............Chuck Lorre and I would disagree on the path, but that would have been my choice.
I loved Charle Sheen. Back in his early career. The Hot Hot Shot movies were funny. I believe he was discovered back in the movie Ferries Bulers day off. He was a young man in a police department with Ferris’s sister. He made her Abel to chill out and not be so upset all the time.? I think I’m right on this ? I know Sheen was in other movies. There was a time in hot shots where his day comes by on a baite from the military and they both say how they loved the other movie they were both in.
@@FactsVerse that movie was very funny! Charlie character was helping this pretty woman find her fiancé and they do. When they find him, instead of being chained up, they just tied his sho laces together. 😝.
the one where Charlie was dating an older woman with 2 young sons, as they saw but not Charlie at first, the situation was just like Their mother with Charlie and Allen, hilarious!
They should’ve sobered up Sheen and then resumed the show until an appropriate time to end it. I watched the first 5 episodes of the Kuchar era and it was just dreadful.
Sheen was always a nutcase and it finally caught up with him. It was definitely the Charlie Harper Show and a cult favorite of millions. Like Berta, Cryer kept the show going because without Alan's neurotic behavior Charlie wouldn't have had his "it's my house" deal. For those of us who have and continue to watch the reruns it's amazing how we still laugh at Charlie, Alan and the cast.. Kucher was decent but what really killed the show was overdoing Charlies's gay daughter and making Kucher such a wimp. They could have done it without the in your face approach. They assumably felt they could woke the show or didn't care about losing viewers. Too bad. Two and a Half men started out as genius and then with Sheen's decline was just another bunch of actors getting paid. That's the real sad part.
i thought seinfeld was the best show on t.v. my late brother kept talking about this show and how good it was. i never watched "men" until after my bro was gone. i was floored by how good this show was and how well done it was. i wish my bro was still alive so i could tell him he was right. this is the best show in t.v. history. imho
Maybe instead of Kutcher, they should’ve gotten Emilio Esteves instead since he’s Charlie’s real life brother. All they had to do was say Charlie was in an auto accident and instead of bumping Harper off just say he survived the crash but needed plastic surgery……
Never a big fan of Charlie Sheen...During the filming of "Major League", Sheen was VERY unfriendly to local people that wanted to talk to him or asked for an autograph...Very aloof to local folks .. Hope Sheen does not return to Milwaukee😊..Thank you for letting me share a true story..
WELL JON QUIT WHEN SHEEN I LOST HIS JOB BUT JON WAS A BIG PART OF THE SHOW.. I'M HOPEING THEY WILL HELP BRING BACK RERUNS OR CHARLIE AND SOME ONE ELSE.
Sorry to see that Charlie had to leave the show after his meltdown and of the remaining 4 years after Charlie left I thought the first 2 years with Waldon Schmidt were still good but the last 2 years the show sank faster than the Titanic
@@ricklee5845Extended Family Abigail Spencer must have needed work to stoop to this horrible excuse of an unfunny show. It’s Alan with a different cast to annoy, he’s every bit as unlikeable as in 2 1/2 men.
@@billdesinger8604 I just found a few clips and I agree, it's Alan all over again but without hair. Your mention of Abigail Spencer had me stumped. I know I've seen her before but just couldn't place her. Then I found she was in Suits which I have watched twice all the way through, but I still don't remember her. That's probably because I only had eyes for Donna - imo by far the best character in Suits.
Charlie Sheen Made That Show 100% and It Went To Crap! After Sheen Was Fired! Kutcher Was Never On The Same Comedic Level as Charlie Sheen, The Show Was Doomed To Failure Once Charlie Sheen Was Replaced, Cryer Needs To Thank Charlie Sheen For Giving Him a Career.
I had been giving thought about which character's influence defined the entire show and I concluded it was the mother Evelyn Harper. Evelyn Harper was a narcissist, promiscuous, manipulative, used men to further her own wealth, demeaning of all around her, could not give a complement without immediately following with a demeaning comment, and controlling of all people and events. An emotionally distant mother expressing very little affection for her sons who she considered impediments for her life. This influenced the personalities of her two sons and set the dynamics that determined the story lines of all the shows. Charley Harper was a mirror of his mother who he despised. In his youth he began acting out his feelings including heavy alcohol drinking. His younger brother Alan became a stand in or his mother and tormented him in her place. He too was promiscuous as inadvertently taught to be by his mother. He did not seek wealth from his relationships with his women and for him women were a disposable sexual item, this bordered on antisocial personality disorder. He was in two long term relationships but if another woman was available he would use her for sex. He was like his mother a narcissist. His relationships with women had his mother's controlling influence and the tried to control every aspect between them. He did not exert effort into controlling his own everyday life and let events happen with little or no thought to the consequences. He had no control of his fiances and like everything else he would call “the guy” so he was avoiding dealing with things. He was an alcoholic which has two aspects. The obvious is he was physically addicted and to halt withdrawal he drank more and more. The less obvious is an addict uses their substance, in this case mostly alcohol but any drug would do, to suppress their feelings. While on the surface Charley liked his life and stated how happy he was with it he was very unhappy with himself. Alan Harper's response to his mother's influence was in some ways different than Charley's. References show that in his youth he tried to please his mother and she could never be pleased. This carried over to his relationships with women whom he had the compulsion to try to please them seeking their approval as with his mother. He also tended to seek involvement with women that mirrored his mother. His first wife Judith was controlling and fault finding like his mother. She emotionally and physically distanced herself from Alan and he was granted sex on his birthday. This behavior was carried over to her second husband Herb. She used her relationships with men to further herself financially. After divorcing Alan she never took a job and got all her money from Alan. She also, admitted in one episode, took Jake's child support money for herself. When dating his second wife Kandi she like Evelyn used her relationship with him as a source of money in the form of buying her things and paying her bills. Kandi immediately divorced him when he won a large sum from a slot machine on their honeymoon and took everything including his dog, she had gotten what she really wanted. Alan wanted to be promiscuous but his personality and social awkwardness made him unattractive to most women. Still if he was in a relationship and the opportunity have sex with another woman occurred he took advantage of it. Where his mother used her relationship with men to get money Alan tried to get money from everyone except for the women he had a sexual relationship with. Where Charley paid for prostitutes Alan gave his money mostly indirectly to the women he dated unknowingly mimicking Charley's behavior. Alan like his mother attempted to control everything and everyone around him though ineptly. This effort to assert control over others made relationships with women difficult. Alan expressed his dislike for his mother and avoided contact but continued with his compulsion to try and please her. Like Charley he was very unhappy with himself. While the story line focuses on Charley and Alan all scripts are rooted in the effect Evelyn had on her two sons. She was the defining influence to the series and it was centered around her. With the removal of Charley Harper that slot was filled with the character of Walden Schmidt changing some of the dynamics while the show was still rooted in Evelyn Harper. Just my thoughts.
Seriously... wouldn't you take to drink and drugs if Alan was your brother? Alan Harper, the most annoying and obnoxious character in any TV show ever. That aside, this whole thing sounds like a tribute to Cryer. I'd sure like to hear Sheens take on this.!
