Two and a Half Men

Emmy Award-nominated Two and a Half Men had been the #1 comedy on television for the past two seasons.[1] It’s a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son and the many women who surround them. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle is interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), and Alan's son, Jake ( Angus T. Jones ), come to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn (Holland Taylor); Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith (Marin Hinkle) and Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta (Conchata Ferrell). Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common—they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.[2] By season 9, Charlie Harper was written out of the series due to Charlie Sheen's public disorder and drug issues coming to the forefront (with Sheen strongly implying that his relapse and outbursts were largely due to the negative work conditions brought about by the show's creator, Chuck Lorre.), with it being established in-universe that he had died off-screen by being run over by a train (with it being heavily implied that local stalker Rose had pushed him into the tracks as revenge for cheating on her after marriage), although the series finale revealed that she faked Charlie's death and kept him stranded until he escaped before being crushed by a piano, with struggling and divorced billionaire Walden Schmidt (played by Ashton Kutcher) taking over Charlie's role after buying his house. It ultimately ended on 2015.
