    It's a show that is funny, but doesn't exactly always fit the bill. Especially now that Ashton Kutcher is taking over, it's just not the same. It's really just a show with just great laughs. There's no good story behind it and no true emotion to the characters. Overall, it's only big advantage is that it's actually funny.

    Surprisingly I prefer this without Charlie After a few episodes i fell in love with jake and his simple but funny lines that were golden oh chuck what have you done Now it's Big Bang which is just....ummmm......well I'd prefer not to rant but I love Alan and walden its a golden script top class acting and just a pure beauty chuck Lorre should've just done this and not started the Big Bang

    Two and a half men is great, i honestly sleep to it. yeah its soppy and typical but its just one of them things you need to watch. after season 1 you get to know the characters and it actually because good. im a huge fan of this and i know it definatley isnt for everyone but give it a try. FYI Ashton Kutcher sucks at this role and charlie sheen should never of gone, its never the same.Two and a half men is great, i honestly sleep to it. yeah its soppy and typical but its just one of them things you need to watch. after season 1 you get to know the characters and it actually because good. im a huge fan of this and i know it definatley isnt for everyone but give it a try.

    Two and a Half Men has been through rough changes, but still manages to entertain, the show so far has lasted eleven seasons, and to myself I hope it continues for more years to come

    It's alright. Sometimes the story lacks BUT the humour is unbelievable which saves this comedy.

    I must admit it: the serie is just plain nasty fun. There's no doubt of why is one of the most watched series in all the time. Just enterteining. I like more the season with Ashton Kutcher, I like it more than Charlie Sheen.

    Without question one of the funniest, well written and acted shows on TV. Must See! I had thought with Jake growing into a teen it would be wise to write him out. But he has grown on me as he tries to weave his way thru this complicated world avoiding being his father and trying to be more like Uncle Charly. The others in this ensemble cast are just too funny.

    Without doubt, Two and a Half Men is the funniest show on television, with stunning performances from Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer. The show only gets better and better...

    Definitely one of the best comedy series ever. The humor is unbelievable! Unfortunately sometimes the story can be really lame and implausible. I really got tired of Rose jumping off balcony and Charlie getting laid in each episode :D With Ashton Kutcher it's not the same, but still has its moments.

    This show is great, with or without Charlie Sheen. I have watched the 9 seasons over and over i just love it ! The jokes are funny but sometimes a litlle vulgaire, its awesome.

    Wow, is what I thought when I first saw this, this show had me in stitches then & still does now, it's what I go to when the Ashton Kutcher episodes are on TV, on a complete rewatch of the whole series, I found that every episode had me in hysterics at some point or another, this series sets the foundations for a show that would be funny & successful for a long, long time, 8 years to be precise!

La temporada 1 no es la mejor de la serie, pero ya desde ahí nos cautivaron sus personajes: Alan, ese fracasado de la vida tan gorrón con su hermano, Jake, ese adorable e ingenuo chaval (donde mas brilla es en las temporadas 1-6) y Charlie, ese gran personaje, el eterno ligón. Simplemente el mejor personaje de la serie. Los secundarios también son brillantes, desde la madre hasta Berta. Una serie sublime, a mi siempre me ha gustado, pero eso, si no te gustan las bromas sobre el sexo ni los piques entre hermanos pues vete a ver Glee, a ver si es lo suficientemente dulce y bonachona para ti...… Expand

    A funny show for definitely pendering to adults. All the Actos share a great chemistry and play teir roles to near perfection. Some of the jokes are a bit extreme but at least one laugh is garanteeed. But frankly speaking after Charlies drop out the whole mood of the series changed and some of the jokes were too forced.

    Two and a half men is one of the greatest tv shows of all time.
    Great casting, episodes gets funnier and funnier.
    Charlie Sheen is the best on his role. I wish he never left.

    Personally I prefer the season over the rest. This season had some heartfelt and emotional scenes during this season and although I think Jake in future seasons has some great jokes, I prefer this version of Jake for the sole reason that he is smarter and understand some of the adult themes during the show

    The first season of two and a half men is hilarious. There is a episode where Alan is in the process of divorce and I have hired a female lawyer. Charlie can't avoid this women and they have an affair. But he did not notice that she was crazy; she did not fulfill all her wishes and she takes revenge by giving everything to Alan's wife. So Charlie had to stay with his brother in his home.

    Dos hombres y medio, de la temporada 1 a la 8 le pongo un 10. Pero de la temporada 9 a la 12 le pongo 5 y gracias. No me gusta nada Ashton Kutcher, no tiene ninguna gracia. Charlie Harper era la esencia de esta serie, sin el... cae en picado.
    En el computo global le pongo un 8 sobre 10, gracias a las 8 temporadas dónde aparecía Charlie Sheen. Mi décima cirtica u/o review de la sección de TV.

    If you prize originality, this new series will underwhelm you. ... What's surprising is the goodly number of laughs it does offer.

    'Two and a Half''s setup ain't edgy, but its humor is a tad more genial -- brotherly ribbing as opposed to bad-tempered potshots. Its one nasty spot revolves around, unsurprisingly, women.

    Can someone please wake up Charlie Sheen? I know he's tried to build an entire career, Dean Martin-style, on half-lidded apathy, but as one-third of the new CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, he's practically comatose. [22 Sept 2003, p.T35]
