"One of the most endearing new comedies of the year."  Washington Post
"...has all the conflict and tension at its core that made The Odd Couple so successful, with the added bonus of an equally skilled supporting cast..."  Kent Dixon, DVD Verdict
"Sheen and Cryer have already proven on countless occasions their knack for comedy, and this show is just the latest example."  Shawn McKenzie, Entertain Your Brain!
"...[a] sharply written sitcom that happily doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator."  Tim Knight, Reel.com
"Some of the very best writing in TV. The acting is first-rate."  Liz Smith, New York Post
"The writing is top notch...but overwhelmingly, the draw of this show is Jon Cryer. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Jon Cryer is Alan Harper."  Ryan Keefer, DVD Verdict
 


Editor's Note

Charlie Sheen takes a starring role in TWO AND A HALF MEN, a genial CBS comedy about a dysfunctional family. Sheen plays Charlie Harper, who enjoys the bachelor life in his Malibu beach house. His existence consists of an endless stream of partying and dating until his brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), moves in with him. Alan's life has fallen apart after a separation from his wife, but he still has custody of his 10-year-old son, Jake (Angus T. Jones), who also moves into Charlie's Malibu home. Supporting characters include Alan's ex-wife, and Charlie and Alan's overbearing mother. The makeshift family formed by Charlie, Alan, and Jake provides plenty of laughs and a few poignant moments in this complete first season of episodes.
