Two and a Half Men: The Complete Eighth Season
This time of year, Charlie has a thorny problem: Rose. Before, she was on the make for Charlie. Now she’s married and supposedly off-limits – and that’s irresistible for lust-struck Charlie. He pursues her. That and other situations are all part of the hilarious antics of Charlie, his sad-sack bro Alan and his underachieving nephew Jake as they return to make Two and a Half Men #1 among TV comedies. Don’t miss Charlie keeping his mojo in shift with Michelle (elegant, older), Courtney (cheap, sexy) and, of course, Rose (crazy, crazy). Alan burning down his girlfriend’s household and hatching a chiropractic Ponzi scheme. And Jake risking his body and (few) brain cells to film a Jackass ripoff. Terrible boys. Amusing Men. Time of year eight marks the last time of year with Charlie Sheen as a costar of Two and a Half Men–so watching this time of year is bittersweet. Sheen has relaxed into his role as the churlish Charlie so that his comic delivery seems effortless–but what Sheen does is a lot harder than it looks. And the chemistry between him and his costars Jon Cryer (Alan) and the “half man,” Angus T. Jones (Jake), is as seamless and sparkly as ever. In a way, time of year eight is a very excellent high note for Sheen to go out on, as this time of year of Two and a Half Men is chock full of excellent ancient-fashioned double-entendre laughs. One of the tale threads is that Rose (the incredible Melanie Lynskey), once a man-eater on the prowl for Charlie, has chose to get married. Which, naturally, makes Charlie all the more crazy for her. Also still in the picture are Courtney (Jenny McCarthy, who deserves her own sitcom), and Michelle (the sultry Liz Vassey), and plenty of laughs are had as Charlie tries, as always, to juggle his honestly ridiculous like life. Cryer’s Alan, meanwhile, plays long-suffering honest man, and the nearly-all-grown-up Jake brings his slackertude to full flower and gets more screen time, with very amusing results. Vital note: Because of offstage events, time of year eight contains only 16 episodes, as against the usual 22 episodes for a time of year of half-hour comedy. Still, this time of year of Two and a Half Men is absolutely essential for anyone who likes this show. –A.T. Hurley
