Two and Half Men–Funniest Show on Television

The Author of this post is Rolando Dickerson

Whenever I want a good hearty laugh I watch Two and a Half Men starring Charlie Sheen and John Cryer on www.cabletelevision.net. The show airs Tuesdays on CBS but if there’s a syndicated repeat on any channel, any time, on any day I will watch it and laugh till my sides hurt.

Charlie–played by Charlie Sheen–is a booze and sex loving jingle writer who has more money than he knows what to do with. Kind of like his real life. John Cryer plays his divorced, no luck ever brother who had to move in with Charlie at his Malibu beach house after his divorce. Alan has a rather dim witted, eating machine of a son who spends weekends with them. Charlie has a crass and devious house keeper named Berta who hates the fact that her duties have tripled with the additional house mates. Alan’s ex wife and new husband as well as both he and Charlie’s mother play spot roles. Then there is Charlie’s stalker Rose, who is madly in love with Charlie and constantly scheming for his love.

The basis of the show is pits Charlie against Alan as his sponging dead beat of a brother and his goofball kid constantly who are constantly disrupting what was once a perfect life of debauchery. The witty banter between Charlie and Alan can get down right rude, crude, and mean, but funny as heck. The situations they find themselves in come from all angles and make for what must be a real joy for the writers to put together each episode.

Anyone who is not just absolutely offended by this show is on the complete opposite side of the fence–like me–and wouldn’t miss an episode.
