FTA-TV Two And a Half Men

[KrackingMark]

The whole funeral scene was just plain mean spirited, which would have been fine if it was funny but Chuck the grudge Lorre had some of the ex girlfriends saying stuff completely out of character for their past roles just to stick the boot in.. it was pretty small stuff indeed Chuck


Even Evelyn is only funny because deep down she loves the boys in her own narcissistic way.. it was cheap stuff

Yup seems Charlie was right about Chuck. I agree it was quite nasty & out of place on a light hearted sitcom. Would have been a better idea to say Charlie was in rehab or something which would have left the door open for him to return.

 

[King Elvis]

To be fair, Charlie was an absolute a-hole to him.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

To be fair, Charlie was an absolute a-hole to him.

and the script was written back when Charlie was panning them at every opportunity; certainly well before he started realising what a **** he'd been...

 

[bungalow_bill]

evidently Dharma and Greg both fought with Lorre like cats and dogs.. he's just one of those guys

Interesting never knew that.
Apparently Roseanne also hates his guts.
Clearly it's Chuck Lorre that is the problem

 

[Snoozer]

Comedy is probably the only thing in life that I am slightly snobbish about
I have never sat through an entire episode of TAAHM or HIMM and dont plan to

Agreed. As Andy Millman famously described his dreadful production 'When The Whistle Blows', it's comedy for people without a sense of humour.

Dumbed-down, shallow, lowest-common-denominator drivel for the great unwashed.

 

[Snoozer]

In our defence most of us are either drunk or stoned.. but even with that handicap we'd rather be us than some w***er loser that thinks comedy is akin to philosophy because that's about the limit of his brain power

Hahahaah... GOLD!!! Well played sir.

From Richard Lawson of Gawker Media, via Wiki:

"Lawson was displeased with the task of the show having to juggle both Charlie's death/funeral, and the introduction of Walden Schmidt all in one episode. Lawson noted that while Kutcher could fit in, 'without Sheen's teetering-on-the-brink-of-oblivion verve complimenting the shows tit jokes, dick jokes and fart jokes, occasionally peppered by quips delivered by determinedly non-sexual women characters, the show would be pointless'"

Wow thats stupid..Ashtons Wife is Ryan Styles' (Herb) sister from previous eps :S

 

[MacMum]

Oh dear!...we tried to like it, but have only managed to watch about 3/4 of it.....couldn't stand the "oh poor me" babyish/useless attitude they have Ashton playing..

The americans might go for that kind of thing, but can't see upbeat aussies liking it unfortunately..

Will probably give it one more chance next week.....will need to improve big time though IMO

 

[Quivorir]

YEah, im still not sure why Ashton is just playing an adult version of Jake..hopefully he "grows up" next ep..but seems pretty stupid so far.

AAAAAGHH!! I KNOW!! Why the f**k would they do that?!! Fair enough, that girl was good in that other episode, but jezuz, there are 50 trillion actresses to choose from

 

[power09]

Yep she was Herb's sister, the show really is for idiots.

The first few seasons were great i thought, but the last few have been really crap and this is no different. Ashtens character is awful, just like jake's has been since he got as tall as the adults. Allens been pathetic too for a few seasons.

Its like the perceived IQ of the audience gets lower every season, to compare it to TBBT is offensive.

Kutcher was never funny in that 70s show either.

 

[ROSEMVP]

Thought it was the best ep in years.

 

[Kirby]

^ WTF?

It was pure garbage and i wanted to like it.

Kucher's character was just pathetic and the writing was horrible. Really really unfunny.

 

[Shade]

Thought it was the best ep in years.

notsureifsrs ?

it was alright the show is defiantly on the way down not as half as funny as it was in the past

 

[myyakhasfleas]

It all makes sense why Ashton signed on for only 1 year then.

 

[Caesar]

They probably only wanted him for one season in case he bombed. Didn't want to have to pay out a big contract if the show got cancelled.

 

[Barnzy]

Not sure how they thought it was going to be a good idea to now have Alan lead all the jokes and make Kutchers character innocent and pathetic. Not to mention Jake still talks like a 10 year old when he looks 18. This show is so embarassing and cringeworthy. Was always to an extent but even moreso now.

 

[The_Doctor]

Liking the first few episodes, hasnt gone backwards thats for sure. Actually look forward to it of a Tuesday night now

 

[ROSEMVP]

I've enjoyed this season so far. much better then last season.

 

[power09]

its been horrible since season 8 and this one is the worst yet

 

[Simple Jack]

They like to double up on actresses a lot. Chelsea was some random **** in an early episode and I think Megan Fox was in an ep before being Berta's grandaugter.

 

[PP34]

To no one's surprise the show sucks without Charlie. Just end the show it's had it's run. Sometimes you just have to know when to stop something.

Must admit, thought the first episode was ok. But the 2nd & 3rd have been very ordinary.
