From Jake to Louis.
From the breakdown of Charlie Sheen to the betrayal of Angus T. Jones

alright guys lets start a gofundme so this guy can see a mil. LETS GO!
RedTeamReview you guys heard the check mark!
loved the video, brother. subbed for more so keep em coming!
Thanks man! Means a lot coming from you !
God, I miss your GoT reviews.
Ryan he continued working on that show?
There was literally an episode where Charlie tried to support a kid he thought was his, so that makes the never-seen illegitimate daughter even stranger
At that point, it was a pissing contest, writters just wanted to destroy the character.
- two and half men is a comedy not a drama
in fact in that episode Charlie says "I intend to send you one of these every month" when giving her money for the kid who wasn't even really charlie's. AND THEY NEVER SAY HE STOPPED OR FIGURED OUT IT WASN'T HIS KID... As far as we know he was sending her money each month up untill his death like 4-5 seasons later.. But yeah he had a daughter he never told anyone about. Makes sense.
John Cena that means it has to be inconsistent and just straight up stupid? it means the development of the characters doesn’t matter? do you think only shock value is comedy?
@@Jay-vp3kk I know I thought that to myself a couple of days ago while watching an episode of charlie's daughter as to why she was never metioned or refrenced before. They just destroyed the entire show
The saddest part is that what eventually happened to Charlie Sheen in real life is the only logical ending for the character if he'd stayed in the show.
He was playing a character?
@@andyukmonkey he's a method actor
It is sad.
i think he caught aids AND then snapped, and I feel his manager had something to do with him catching aids as well.
@@ThreeDaysOfDan what do u mean?
Jake in the pilot episode: "I love you uncle Charlie"
Jake at Charlie's funeral: "I'm hungry, anyone else hungry? "
Hmmm
Yeah... I didn't mind the lowbrow and meanspirited humor of the show, but when it started it at least had a smidge of heart to it. As the show went on, it just seemed like they all hated each other and it doesn't make any sense that they would even want to be around each other, let alone live with each other and spend every day together.
K@@dvt1393
Hated how dumb they made Jake in the series. He could be just an underachiver or a below average smart kid and the show would work just as well.
@@matoplays3484 I have a theory that in the episode where he and Charlie play basketball when he hits his head on the ground, that’s what started his descent into idiocy. Hated that in like season 7 onward, Jake became a stoner. Apparently Angus T. Jones hated it too cause that’s why he quit.
Herb was the greatest character ever introduced outside the main cast
*sorry for replying to an old comment but*
Herb was such an awesome character who deserved so much more screen time than he got (with and without Charlie). Ryan Stiles did a fantastic job in that role
@@iJackoGaming Dude, don't apologize for replying an old comment, especially to comment on how awesome Herb(Ryan Stiles) was
@@christopherfoley8322 I remember when Alan does the chiropractor work on him... and um, messes up
Yes he was the best supporting character in the show. I liked it when he had a bit of a crash on Lindsey and being some creepy about it
Yeah he is definitely 1 of the good ones....I love the episodes where Alan And Herb form a secret friendship out of Judiths knowledge 😂
That’s true I really hated how much everyone hated Charlie after he died. Only Alan kept his memory in good heart
And Berta...
Bruh. Charlie was passing on aids to females.
@@vincentweatherall8532 But his ex-fiance and family didnt care? I remeber him having friends too
O
I hated how Alan never got a good ending
Jon cryer’s actually a good actor he’s the only one who stays all 12 seasons and plays his character pretty well and let’s not forget Conchata Ferrel
He was no Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher was not correct for the show.
And the only guy who actually took it seriously in the later seasons even tho it became shit
I agree
It's not hard for a beta to play a beta. No offense to Jon Cryer but that character didn't seem too far of a stretch for him to play a wuss character.
i felt like Jon wanted to leave after Charlie and Angus left
I was kinda bummed that Chelsea somehow hated Charlie at the funeral considering the fact they still had mutual respect and love for another
Good observation. Yeah it felt like the writers were having random characters dump on Charlie and it wasnt funny or productive to rebuilding the show
@@tylerd1297 yeah looking back I feel like it was just to dig at Charlie Sheen because of the whole debacle Sheen and Lorre had.
@@colechung7806 🎯 💯 it was pretty clear from the time it aired
Herb had to divorce Judith and bought Charlie's house. The chemistry between him and Alan was unmatched
Ooh. This would have been cool.
yeah but you need a troublemaker to make a good duo or it will get boring quick.
Thats why Charlie and Alans duo was able to create so much fun. They are so different, yet when it comes to their mother, they will unite. They aren't the best friends but also don't hate each other. It somehow has that siblings energy.
Totally!
And Alan could have completed his "evil Alan" arc that was coming up, and took over Charlie's music-business writing songs.
That may worked .Mind you though .It might have become too complicated with Alan Judith and herb .And herb wasn't the drunken man whore Charlie was but YES " I could see some really weird S**T happening .
Another noticeable thing in the later episodes was how much time Charlie was filmed talking on the phone thats a Hollywood trick when actors cant remember their lines or cues
Yeah because there’s someone on the phone telling them there lines
Interesting, never knew that.
Or in the case of Three's Company, a workaround when your actors don't get along or maybe have scheduling conflicts.
Why wouldn't they just give him an earpiece if that was the problem? I know it was 2000s but the tech was there I think
@@jtzoltan how do you expect that to work? When someone is on the phone, it's natural that they don't speak while listening to whoever they're talking to. With an earpiece you just have an awkward pause.
Jon was the only good guy on the show who actually took his job seriously. They should all apologize to him.
Doesn't matter anymore
now as lex luthor he's winning
And charlie not
Poor john was there the whole time and got paid (in terms of the success of the show) shit.
Yes
@@kurtjappy how much did he got paid compared to the others?
@@nazgulbarakas5767 he got paid around 600,000 per episode while kutcher earned 700,000
And Charlie 1.8 million.
Season 9 should have been the end, Jake left to join the army and had become a man. No more 2 and a half men
Excatly
Then they brought a lesbian, then a "racially diverse" Jake replacement, it became unwatchable
See, if Jake hadn’t left they could’ve turned it into something cool- Jake and his dad could become the “two men” and they could bring in Ashton Kutcher or whoever as a trainwreck of a guy. Either a season 1 Charlie or a season 1 Allen type. And then suddenly these two guys are bringing up a new 1/2 man using what they learned with Charlie.
I'm glad I didn't watch 2 and a Half Men after Charlie "died"
you're right thank goodness I didn't see that rest of the show and I think the last time I saw the show when it was around I think it was Lynda Carter showed up and she almost had sex with Alan but ended up with Charlie's lesbian daughter even though Mrs Carter is straight
Charlie Sheen was Two and Half Man. They literally kept his first name on the show out of all the actors on that show. You can’t say Two and Half was the same after Sheen left.
*Vee* :Here is how he looked in season 7
*Vee* : Here is how he looked in season 8
*My 144p connection* : *I see no difference here*
Not just your connection, both shots are pixelated like hell
it's easier to see it watching it, really.
He looked terrible in season 8. Pale, skinier, flabby, sweaty and even his haircuts didn't help.
He looked like someone recovering from a very serious disease.
His voice was raspy for most of the time too.
He was a time bomb around this time and would blow up sooner or later.
@@bizarroeddie1 Na he was just being charlie. I don't think he was aware that these "problems" were being noticed. I'm positive he would of ate a burger and got a tan if you told him to
LMAOOO same
Mark Silla 🤣😂my 1 gigabit internet streams multiple devices in 4K no problem
Charlie was the show,
Jake was cute when young,
Berta was funny af commenting on charlie actions
Jon cryer was amazing as a brother, not as a roommate who leach on walden.
With that said. No charlie. No show. The show ended there.
I agree
The actress who plays Berta is dead btw.
@Johnny BBad well yeah but it was alot more believable when it was charlie that he was leaching on
@Johnny BBad ah i mean amazing acting, jon cryer was on point with his role, that's why i used his real name and not "Alan"
The show did end when Charlie left...
Tell me if I wrong but... I always thought that
Kutcher's character could have been created as a younger brother to Alan and Charlie, whom they did not know existed, the result of an affair of their father or mother. That would change the dynamics of the series, with Alan being the older brother who has to control an irresponsible younger brother, a bit of an idiot, partying and unemployed.
Walden could be the problem in Alan's life, which Alan has been in Charlie's life until then.
That’s something
Nice👍🏻
To be honest... That idea is genius
That is a great idea
great idea but whatt happens with the house?
Just some clarification, Sheen was only in verbal fights with Lorre. With the rest of the cast he was chill, but everyone was scared by him because he was deteriorating in front of them. When the season was cancelled, he offered to use part of his salary to compensate the cast. Now about the show, Two and a Half Men is my favorite TV sitcom, although during the final Charlie's years, you could tell it wasn't that good anymore, mostly because Jake became an annoying jackass. For the post Charlie era, I really tried to give it a chance, but I couldn't. They retconned Charlie's character and the girlfriends he had, Alan became a bad character, Walden was pathetic. At least Bertha was still entertaining, still the show was just unwatchable after Charlie was fired. While his other show, Anger Management, hadn't the success he was reaching for, it was much better than the post Charlie episodes of Two and a Half Men. It had a rocky start, but after it becomes pretty good
Oh
I loved Anger Management
@@prettyshinyspaghetti8332 it's a lot of fun
“Two and a half men is my favorite sitcom”
YIKES!!!
@@AndrewBarsky whats so yikes about that opinion? Imagine not liking chocolate cake anymore because you learned nestle makes chocolate at the expense of the environment and native americans.
"You picked a fight with a warlock you little worm!"
at first when i wasn't watching the video, i tought that line was from the show lmao.
A warlock with tiger blood coursing through his veins
I loved the show until they lost sheen. Once he was gone it was a wrap for me.
@Jasmine Monquie Lewis whatever 😉
I agree despite all of sheens antics he made the show the success it was!
@@adamstaples2918 he really did. I mean everyone had their part but he was a central figure. As a matter of fact watching an episode right now. 😆
@Roosevelt Darbey agreed
I'm not entirely sure why but Season 11 is actually really good. All the other Kutcher seasons suck.
They should have had Herb get a divorce from Judith and buy Charlie's house and let Alan stay. Herb could have also taken on some of Charlie's persona since he idolized him.
I agree that sounds way better than what they went with
What a great idea. herb was hilarious and would have played the part well
A prequel of the series would be great
That would have been perfection!
Totally. I mean, Charlie was irrepleacable, but there were still other ways to keep the show interesting. Herb and Alan were good friends and had great chemistry. Would´ve loved seeing them live together and get into troubles. Also, I think Jake should´ve left in season 9, as he´d already got annoying as hell.
When Charlie left, the title became awkward, yeah, and imagine how awkward it was in France and Germany where the title is My Uncle Charlie.
In germany its named two and half men too
Mein cooler Onkel Charlie. That's true
In France it's Mon Oncle Charlie.
@@catvalentine2706 in austria and switzerland, not in germany
Uncle Charlie is the best
Chuck just kept the show running because he didn't want to admit that Charlie was the star and without him, everything was going to fall.
That may be true................... but I doubt that Haim is stressing over any of this🤭
You have any idea how many shows this guy made??
@@youknowwhoyouare2269 and nearly everyone of his shows has some kind of a behind the scenes story to tell that is not friendly
glazing@@youknowwhoyouare2269
The Office was still good after Steve Carell left, but it wasn't as good
plz do the office next
Ehhhhhh... it has it's moments but it gets pretty bad pretty often.
dunno, in my opinion it became unwatchable after Steve left.
#FACTS🔥💯
Nah it just continued to flounder
It was never the same
Berta the housekeeper, was my favorite character on the show.
Charlie was what the hell
Same
True
She gave me big Geoffrey vibes but less British and Black.
@@erion1170 Yeah, basically
I absolutely love this show, I only own seasons 1-8. I’m one of the ones that stopped after charlie left
Me too. The show ended with Charlie.
Same here.
Walden was a mistake, they could've kept it going any other way.
They could've given the house to Alan and let Jake become a Chad and THEN bring in a younger son of Charlie to be the new "half"
Ditto. Charlie took the spirit of the show with him. Two and a half men ended at season 8 and was then put on life support.
I did so too
Charlie never hated Alan, they had a very complicated relationship, but he didn't hate him, and it shows in a lot of situations.
And the thing with Charlie's daughter is very unbelievable, since in one of the earlier episodes Charlie thought that he had a child with one of his one night stands and he actually was prepared to do everything in his power to be in that child's life (it turned out the child wasn't his)
In depth analysis...of 2 and a half men....
😐
Yeah, the idea of Charlie's daughter didn't make any sense. As they claimed Charlie knew she was his daughter since her childhood. However, in multiple episodes, Charlie's words & mannerism demonstrate that he doesn't have or atleast know he has children. Like why wasn't she at Charlie's funeral, if she knew him from childhood. Had they claimed her paternity was discovered close to or after charlie's death, that would be more reasonable and interesting.
Junior High school English class synopsis of the series. A plus
Charlie and Alan relationship was pure sibling dynamics. They very clearly loved each other. The "Alan roasted" jokes were funny when Charlie did it, with Walden that was just distasteful
One thing that really bugged me was that they just forgot about Alan’s possible daughter with Judith. I stopped watching around season 10 but I don’t think that plot point got resolved either. I would’ve loved it if Alan got back on his feet and raised his daughter rather than just be a complete mooch to Walden.
cmon, did you ever watch a sitcom? major plotpoints are instantly forgotten or not relevant anymore after the next episode.
alan has never money, ever.
alan never changed his apprearance even tho he did
and so much more i already forgot
@@Exel3nce unless u are Friends or Scrubs.. Brooklyn 9-9 and Community too
@@GLBizziefriends foget plot points basically throughout the whole series
Let me get this straight: I will be paid somewhere between 350K to 1.5 MILLION dollars an episode, and all I have to do is show up, know my lines, play nice with my co-workers, speak nicely of my boss, be funny--oh, and, during hiatus, keep my mouth closed--yes to all. Where do I sign up?
You’re missing the part of the equation where people actually care about watching you.
And having some form of ability to act in a given situation, which you apparently/obviously must lack as you’re here. Like the rest of us >:)
@@hdhshdhs5503 Yup. What Ashton couldn't accomplish with a script and desperate motivation to keep the show going, Charlie did off the cuff while drinking fake* liquor.
*citation needed
Basically Jon Cryer honestly
Is your name Charlie Sheen?
Feel like Berta should've gotten more of a shoutout here, she's the one constant of the show, her one liners were the only thing's worth watching in the final 2 seasons
Berta was the only character that really made this show watchable. It is a shame Conchata died in real life.
Berta hard carried a lot of the post Charlie seasons.
Never watched it after Charlie left. Sometimes u need to close down a show while it is still making money.
yep, this is a prime example.
Samantha Dodd: there's a saying in Hollywood: "The last season/sequel is the one that loses money."
Alan Alda and Jerry Seinfeld are about the only ones who ended their shows deliberately; and even they did it too late. Jerry ended his series 3 years too late, after Larry David left; and Alan Alda was in a 12-year series about a 3-year war.
me too. i saw some brief clips and that other guy was so bad it was beyond awful
@@stephenofmilford1216 Yep, he's Kelso if he wasn't funny.
It was the day Charlie was fired. I just saved you 41 minutes.
Literally everyone knew that but thanks for nothing
Oh shit i didn’t even notice it was 40 minutes long
Thanks man
@@PovertyD Was gonna say that
@INFLATED SUCC same
Yeah, Ashton Kutcher is THE reason I stopped watching the show. I can't believe it lasted 4 years with him.
John Doe exactly.
Yes anyway his bad actor whit arogant attitude
@@marcopoulin1897 no he’s not?
He was actually pretty good. It was people stuck in a rut who couldn’t get over it
i agree. he was truly awful
I feel like trying to assassinate a departed lead character's reputation, while trying to make their replacement better than them is a common mistake these kinds of shows make.
Might have been more interesting if Jake accidentally knocked up a girl and ended up raising his own kid in the house Charlie secretly and unexpectedly left for his brother and nephew (along with his money)
This was my initial expectation for the show after Charlie left. I thought they would inherit the house and money, Alan would have everything he ever wanted but unable to enjoy it because Charlie is gone. Maybe he would marry a woman similar to Charlie to add to the dynamic. Jake would have a younger, smarter brother to compete with now etc. Your teen pregnancy idea is great as well. They could've done so much with what they had. Wasted potential.
@@lungilemadela1431 I agree with all of that. To expand on the pregnancy idea, it could be interesting if Jake named his son after his favourite uncle and "time shares" the baby with the mother so that the show doesn't have a very young baby /every episode/.
One of the storylines I'd have liked to have seen tackled is the potential of Jake ending up in a similar situation as Charlie (as a womanizer) but also ending up like his dad (a loser) and figuring out how he could potentially avoid this route.
I'd have liked to have seen them acknowledge Charlie's downfalls, but also agree that they loved him and how much Jake looked up to him.
Shame really
Maybe, but considering Jakes actor also became a piece of shit to the point he also leaved the show, I really doubt that would different at all.
@@Lexender I didn't realise there was drama around Jake's actor
Charlotte L the only drama was that Angus (Jake) discovered religion and was disgusted and disturbed by the show’s plots and inappropriate jokes
Walden might be the only man who over stayed his welcome in his own house. lol
The final episode is truly one of the most bewildering things ever put on television
I liked all of the meta humor it had, but I really hated how they built up the expectation that Charlie would return and then he didn't
@@Wahi011 He wanted to be in it but Chuck wouldn't allow it, I think.
Far as I remember Charlie would have returned under the premise that the show gets an actual ending(something along the lines of he returns,makes up with everyone and then speaks a few words of wisdom)with the possibility of a spin-off.
Chuck refused and instead opted to produce the self indulging monstrosity that the finale ended up being.
Quite frankly,at that point Chuck should just have clenched his buttcheecks and gone along with it if for no other reason than to actually give the longtime fans decent closure but nah,turns out he was just as much of a petty ass as Sheen.
raped Slime the only thing Hollywood loves more than making money is screwing others out of money
chuck loree is ultra leftist liberal, when u attack obama, u wont get any roles in hollywood.
charlie sheen attacking obama was his final straw with leftist chucky chuck
I underestimated how much watching Charlie spiral down would hurt me. I was 7 at the time, and two and a half men was one of my favorite shows, I loved Sheen. I grew up on sitcoms and they molded me, with two and a half men being among my top 5 most influential. I forgot how hard it was to see him break down, especially as a child. Looking back this reminded me why I always used sitcoms as escapes from the sad real world.
You watched this at 7?? Did your parents love you at ALL? 😅
@@heybro6105 lol right ? I was 7-8 when the show began but I fucking watched it when I was like 13-14
@@heybro6105
Nah who cares
Jesus is the only escape from this world bro
Just saying, take it or leave it.
Damn dude, your parents let you watch this when you were 7 years old? With all the sex and the nudity, the double entendres and everything?
Sorry to hear it. Sounds definitely wrong in my ears, doesn't it?
Also, you had MULTIPLE favorite sitcom shows when you were 7 years old? That's completely baffling to me.
Also also, you realized Charlie was spiraling and this hurt you - when you didn't even hit puberty yet yourself?
All in all, this sounds like a 22 year old man in the body of a 7 year old, to be honest.
When Charlie Sheen Left And brought in Ashton Kutcher I felt like he was still playing the same idiot pot Head from that 70s show
@Raychle Bernoth do you consider steve jobs to be a pothead at any point in his life?
Evan Chismark his Steve job was terrible, fassbender did a much better “job”.
What 70s show?
@@jcee6886 The show is actually called That 70's Show it's really funny

I always felt they either should have
A: Have Alan's Dad show up and reveal he was alive and their mother lied. Then he find's Charlie's black book and starts hooking up with his old girlfriends. Or
B: Have Herb and Jake's mom get divorced and Herb moves in with Alan
I love herb, he would have been better than ashton
Actually option B would have been great.
@@PresidentScrooge and also made for some interesting tv. Two divorced dads who were married to the same woman. Part of Ashton's problem was he had no history with any of the other characters
Charlie had a plot where he finds out he has a kid, and he tried to get involved but the mom doesn't want it (it turns out at the end the kid wasn't his or his ex's, she was just babysitting). With that in mind, I find it hard to believe he would he would knowingly ignore a child and refuse to get involved.
Maybe he did that to make up for the other?
Deadbeat dad's work in mysterious ways.
It's seen often IRL, that a parent cares for only one or some of their kids, but not all of them.
@@doggytheanarchist7876 i can account for that usually younger the kid the better
L
I think they should’ve had Alan move in with Herb but keep Walden with Charlie’s house but he wouldn’t be one of the main characters just some backup character like Herb was when Charlie was still there.
This guy is basically the real life Bojack Horseman
Who specifically?
@@FlancitoConCebolla take a guess lol
🤣🤣
@@Molderon when I first watched Bojack I thought about Charlie lol
knowing the timeline, maybe Bojack was written with Sheen in mind.
Allan carried the whole show after Charlie left. Honorable mention to Jeff Strogman. That sh*t was hilarious.
I started to hate Allen around season 7-8. His annoying shtick was great when he was the good, responsible father who was having trouble supporting multiple divorces, etc. They all had faults, but he was the sensible sane one between himself, charlie, mom and Jake. Eventually, he became a true sociopath and horrible father and became nothing but a narcissistic mooch. Compared to him, Charlie, Jake, Rose and Evelyn started seeming more sane. Then once Charlie was killed, he went full blown horrible.
The show worked when he was the yin to Charlie's yang. They were exact opposites (making for obvious and limitless material) but, in the end, they all supported each other. Once the family broke, the show broke.
Kutcher didn't have a chance, and it was made worse when the character they created to replace Charlie was terribly uninteresting in every way.
@@tonyc8752 Well, yeah. The whole dynamic of the show was gone. There's always 1 guy that does the dumb stuff and 1 guy that's more uptight/stoic (dunno what to call him) to have the jokes bounce oh him. At first they tried to keep the dynamic by making Walden a baby and Alan would be the more "normal" one but then they did a 180 when Walden matured and Alan had to be the more "crazy" one. I don't know to what extened he was a bad dad cuz Jake was gone so there wasn't much focus on him being a father because of that.
@@gitinia I thought the show's biggest early mistake, was not allowing Jake to mature. It's like they were still writing for a 10 year old, when he was 15.
He was more Uncle Charlie than Alan in many respects and I think it would have been good to have written his dialogue as he got older, more similar to how Charlie would think and respond. We'd see the maturity in thought and conversation, and we'd see that he's as big an intelligent smart arse and sarcastic like Charlie and Evelyn.
Instead it was fart jokes till the end.
@@tonyc8752 I guess they REALLY wanted to keep the original dynamic so they had to dumb him down as he got older to "in a way" keep him on the same level as when he was a kid. Maybe he could have been a replacement for Charle if they hadn't done that but no way for them to know what would happen with Charlie Sheen in the future... And even then, he would have also quit so... It's a mess all around.
I think Alan was also the best actor in the show, way better than Charlie. Tho Charlie brought the viewers.
Walden isn’t a bad character he just doesn’t fit as a replacement to Charlie he would’ve been way better as a background character
Edit: why does my 11 month old comment have 500 likes
He would have worked better as a supporting character for Alan rather than the one taking the spotlight.
@@ilo3456 exactly!
He'd had been a great foil to charlie. Someone who's also successful and younger than charlie and wya more of a ladies man.
He could been a good addition. Not a replacement.
Missed opportunities.
imagine if they introduced Charlie's daughter earlier
he would be a perfect neighbor, like flanders to homer
I wonder how the show would’ve ended without charlie and angus leaving
Alan doing a one man song and dance show 👍
Charlie would marry Rose
Two and a Half Men is freaking great, until they killed Charlie, then it was garbage.
The show got really boring after Charlie Sheen left.
True. I stopped watching since charlie left
@@ankitasarmah2245 that is true yes. However Charlie Sheen was at fault and wasn't the fault of the director and his cast. Charlie had unacceptable behavior and sooner or later, he was gonna get fired.
@@Will-gi3wg yes I knw. Bt still. His reel character turned out to be his real life character.
It was already dying before that.
Two and a half Men was waaaay better than Big Bang Theory.
It's two different types of humor they're both great in my opinion
I used to like The Big Bang Theory when it was just a 4 guy and a girl, but in the later seasons when each and every character started to get into a relationship, that thing totally ruined the show.
Bazinga
Big bang theory is a BIG fucking joke. Characters who not only look but sound annoying as fuck as well. This show represents non-sensical humour at its best. Another great example is the simpsons right now.
Ehh, not a fan of either, but i could literally not tell you a memorable episode of two and a half men, and I can at least remember things about Big Bang. Both are the type of show you have on In the background while your doing something else just because it’s on
They should've just ended the show when Sheen was let go. They clearly couldn't carry on without the character you made it for what it was.
From the moment Charlie Sheen left and Ashton Kutcher took over, Two and a Half Men was truly dead.
Thought the first season with kutcher was fine but after that .
@@THOMAS2910able Kutcher's not a good actor and he wasn't as funny as Charlie Sheen.
When you watch Season 8 compared to the rest of the seasons, watch Charlie's movements. He can never sit still and moves his hand with his speech more often than not. Classic signs of cocaine abuse
Or METH
It's also a sign of alc abuse
I dont really blame him Id of did the same if i had the $ and found out i was HIV+ lol
@@VaiderGaming 😂💯
To me the show jumped the shark after season 4 or 5...Part of what was funny was Jake being young and naive but as he got older they just made unbelievably stupid and later just a pain in the ass...I watched one episode with Kutcher and it was horrible and the whole premise that Alan, Berta and Jake all stayed in the same house with a billionaire stranger was as dumb as it gets
Well Berta was a housekeeper so it makes a bit more sense why she's stay because she's still (not) be working. But yeah, makes no sense for Alan and Jake to stay
Berta staying makes sense she actually has a purpose and reason to be there.
Season 3 and 4 were the best after season 6 IT was Just a Habit to watch it
I agree with the Jake thing. I get that he had to grow up at some point, but they didn't need to make him such an insufferable teenager. It ruined the whole dinamic between the three main characters.
When I heard they were adding Kutcher, I thought, maybe they could make him Jake's actual father and it would explain why they all live together. Kutcher could have been the stripper at Judith bachelorette party and they had a one niter. No one knows the reality until after the Charlie "death" and you have Allen dealing with the reality that his son isn't biologically his, Jake suddenly having a new father, and Walden dealing with being a father.
What they could've done (if the show had to be continued) is have Herb buy the beach house and live with Alan. He's an established character that people like and had good chemistry with Jon Cryer. Ashton had neither of those qualities
The problem with that is that you’d have two buffoon characters, you need a counterpart but at least is a better idea
They had excellent chemistry, but they were too similar: that's good for a scene but not for a whole series. Comedy is base on conflicting opposites (Alan and Charlie were, Alan and Walden also but less).
And herb was ACTUALLY HILARIOUS while Walden was cute and rich ,nothing more
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain"
Sucks. He needs a Robert Downey Jr moment. He's a great funny actor. He needs help. Macaulay Culkin did it.
Perhaps his version will be Arby's.
That place is disgusting IMHO.
Exactly, he needed help, not a studio keep giving him millions of dollars.
The thing is...he got help but went back to the alcohol and drugs.
jakedizzle some people don’t want help
@@Idkwhattoput-p2s so bojackhorseman
We need a Charlie Sheen Documentary on his downfall
There are already about four.
I hope Netflix does it. I do live their documentaries lol
When Charlie died, the entire show died, Jon Fryer respect for u my man u tried when show was at his lowest, like Kobe without Shaq, and also RIP Berta, thanks for all laughs same for original core of Two and a half men 😭❤️💔
Thanks
That's a lot of emotion b😬
Charlie and Allan had a chemistry no one can match
The Odd Couple
...the show Two and a Half Men is modelled after, actually great funny old show and the two guys had great chemistry.
It was obvious when Sheen was doing heavy drugs. It changed his appearance and the way he actually acted. That's when I think the series died.
I think it was perfect storm of a garbage fire. Charlie’s increased drug use, deteriorating writing, and his eroding relationship with Chuck Lorre. Something bad was bound to happen, and it did.
“Jake” just seems like an entitled child actor who never finished school bc he was too busy making more money than he knew what to do with it
Well, he was the highest paid child actor before he left the show, which he did by publicly denouncing it as a bad show, so you're not wrong
Actually he hated doing the show that’s why left it eventually as he grew older .
mshesh16 your absolutely right . The denouncing part is down right disgusting . However I was just pointing out that he said in an interview that he hated being part of the show and that his character on the show was the opposite of what he believed in . I’m not defending him just pointing something out which I felt the video didn’t mention .
Nah he give it to that idiot pastor who brainwashed him .
To be fair, he was very young when he was dragged into a *huge* tv-show for many seasons. So I don't blame him for making horrible life choises
I really like Alan when I watch the show. I found a lot of his insecurities and shortcomings realistic. A lot of guy like to think they're a Charlie but most of us are Alan.
Lol wonder why when they think of the show they think of sheen 🥲🥲🥲🥲
It’s that dynamic between the two I enjoyed so much.
Alan is a scumbag after season 8. if you like him after season 8, then you have a terrible judge of character..
so true
@@chocmint i stopped watching after Charlie left.
The fact that Charlie Sheen really lived like this and probably beyond ..it's like burning a candle on both ends, it was so great that people can predict this!! For me it's the greatest sitcom
I'm glad that you mentioned all of the storylines going nowhere in later seasons. That became frustrating and almost felt like there were no repercussions for any events that happened during episodes.
Eg. Walden sleeps with Judith and Evelyn and then it never gets mentioned again. Judith becomes less and less present and the storyline with her new kid seems to go nowhere.
I don't recall much from later seasons as I forced myself to marathon the last season on a flight home from Europe, but that definitely stood out to me as one of my biggest frustrations with the show after Charlie left.
EDIT: Oh yeah and they seemed to just forget about Jenny and Louis as quickly as they added them to the show.
People wanna say the show died when they killed off Charlie, but let's be brutally honest: the show's pulse was slowing down greatly before then.
Exactly. I started feeling a decline when they introduced Chelsea and even more so when they introduced Lindsay.
@@theginimini I never liked Chelsea. Maybe its just the writing for her character but I never bought her & Charlie as a couple. Also her character had no memorable funny lines imo and that's not great for a sitcom.
It's because Jake grew up and was just as painful and annoying as any other teenager. It also didn't help that Alan was becoming more scummy over time and not trying to be a good person anymore.
Also, as much as Berta and Evelyn had one liners and quips, they get tiring and repetitive. Every scene with then involves them being mean and saying something witty which you expect already. A show where everybody is mean spirited towards each other is exhausting because you can't root for anyone anymore.
The idea that Charlie was, despite everything, trying to help Alan raise Jake made you forget about the bad things they do. At the end everyone is just so vile you can't root for anyone anymore
@@zekeiwa5837 So pretty much how most sitcoms go
@@zekeiwa5837 I agree with you although I'm curious how that factors into a show like Seinfeld. Maybe you're not a fan yourself but I am and that show sees the characters becoming more mean spirited towards the end. At the start of the show Elaine was just a regular normal women who tried to be a decent person but by the end she was a selfish bitch but honestly I didn't mind it
what would have been a good ending would have been the same for charlie, hes found alive and comes back. Mila Kunis character realizes shes in love with Walden. Walden divorces Allan, gives him 10 or 20 million settlement plus the beach house and two and a half men continue (We all get closure). Now Allan owns the beach house and is rich (final vengeance on Judith) and Charlie and his daughter Jenny (bring her back for the finale) are the tenants. Walden sails off into the sunset with Mila and the black kid
PeteyGunn that is a great ending!
That sounds incredible
Is it much of a revenge on Judith, though? As far as I'm aware, part of why Alan was so broke was that he also had to pay for her, allimony or whatever it's called. So when he goes up 10 or 20 million, what she gets goes up with it, doesnt it?
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 nope. the moment she married Herb, Alan didnt need to pay her any money.
You, sir, spoke my truth. I was nodding the whole time. I was like: "ikr!" the whole 42min. That show is the best ever and it is unfortunate that it got ruined by one person.
Chuck or Charlie?
I actually worked on the set for Two and a Half Men quite a few times (I worked a number of jobs for CBS, as a PA, writing music, etc) and every time I talked to Charlie Sheen, he was the nicest guy in the world. I only talked with him a handful of times, but he always asked "How's the music going" and was just an overall cool dude. Jon was cool too, his riffs between takes were hilarious, and Angus was a cute kid. I know some of the higher-ups I knew were slowly starting to get resistance from his publicist, but I never dealt with that. I left CBS before Ashton took over, but from what I heard, he was kind of a nothing personality-wise.
I'm definitely in that camp that Two and Half Men died with Charlie's character, though I had stopped watching it long before that.
Charlie Sheen while seemingly crazy doesnt come across as a naturally mean person.
Hello, do you have any advice for being a PA in film and television?
@@ddwow566 Other than to do the job you're told, not really. It can be a pretty boring job honestly. Make some connections is probably the best advice I can give. Also try not to act starstruck with talent.
JTCurtisMusic ahh okay and did you get in that field through connections?
@@ddwow566 Mostly through my father. Insert Nepotism joke here...
The man is talented, that's the saddest part of this, he wasted his talent and threw it to the garbage can, now even his life... how terrible the drugs are.
He threw it away? What? He made like 400 million dollars. If that's throwing it away then what have you done with your life?
@@CollectorsCorner777 He could have made 3 times that money and actually enjoy it if he had been sover, he didn't retire voluntarily, he was fired and now is counting his days with the anguish of suffering AIDS, what was the necessity??, he could have it all, his entery life not just a couple of decades.
He looks like baodray
@@CollectorsCorner777 crazy how he is worth only 10 million now
Here you are wrong. He is doing better now, and no drugs so far from a months
Two and a half men is actually my dad's favorite show and that's why it's my guilty pleasure.
and yeah, Charlie WAS that show.
I always thought Herb would have been a great replacement for Charlie who ends up splitting up from Judith and moves in with Alan and Jake and starts living the life Charlie did
Can you blame Angus though?
His character was dead after charlie left.
Agreed. The show died after Charlie but the nail in coffin was when Jake left.
Jake was dead as soon as they turned him from a smart underachiever to an idiotic stoner
@@dsimi415 yeah.
Agree
@@dsimi415 I couldn't have said it better
yeah you can blame him. Angus was a brainwashed dweeb crybaby.
"Do you watch The Big Bang Theory?"
"No."

LAUGH TRACK
I am a nerd and I love the show. Or rather, the early seasons of it, before it became solely about relationships
I hate this "nerds like tbbt" stuff...it's just so blunt and basic, especially about nerdy stuff so it won't antagonize other watchers . If you
want a nerdy show community is streets ahead.
@Kimmminem West Hahahaha yeah. It's definitely not.
TBBT is a Chinese inside
-joke... as the fact that in 'Merica the stars of TBBT are what's considered intelligent by 'Mericans ... and as a result of being their example of 'Merican intelligencer, they have the lowest chance of procreation.
Yes, Americans (APART FROM AMERIKIMS AND AMERIKHANS) breed with the thickest our Earth has to offer

Asthon Kutcher was on for FOUR SEASONS? All this time I literally thought the one that introduced him was the final season.
Even when I was a child I could tell something was wrong with Charlie in real life, and I didn’t notice any of that shit. It was sad to see it (and him) deteriorate like that rather than winding down the show
I forgot how unhinged Charlie Sheen got before he was fired. This is some epic level public breakdown and what a way to burn bridges whilst salting the earth behind you. I know he got another show afterwards but it didn't seem to last long.
Which show do you mean
100 episodes in quiet much for todays standards
Anger Management
He shot 100 episodes in 2 years if I remember correctly.
Charlie killed it.
@@alreadybanned-pe6se quality over quantity
It's amazing to me that Ashton Kutcher could look the way he does and be so horribly unpleasant in conversation
He became famous because of his looks not because he has any discernible talent.
AK is the worst actor in the history of mankind.
@InevitableOption-ic2vx probably
The show was based on Charlie, after he left it lost its flare.
brandon roberts, true.
@@nanobluelectrobuzz9227 I can't believe the show continued beyond one season with Ashton Kutcher
Povertyd, if Chuck Lorre canceled the show, it would have stroked Charlie Sheens ego being it was based on Charlie’s life. Chuck couldn’t let that happen.
I REALLY dislike what they did with Alan. He went from a miserable and kind of pathetic father trying his best, to a Person that will do anything to stay at the beach house (which didn't even look that good) and not spend a single penny. It's like they replaced him with a ChatGPT clone that only got a 3 line prompt about Alan's character.
I cant believe how many people forget that Jon Cryer had a decent career well before 2.5Men 🤷🏻♂️
Like Godzilla, ferris Buehler, and inspector gadget!
@@marklindenthaler3656 he was in none of those movies lol
@@nearlydead7510 that's the joke
@@marklindenthaler3656 good one. I used to confuse between Cryer and Matthew Broderick
I knew...
RIP Conchata, you were the underrated glue that held this shit show together
When Charlie left they got rid of his mom, rose, burta they were big parts of the show
Jaime Lawrence They did NOT!
Rose didn't really appear as much as she used to but Evelyn and Berta did
They were all still there but not as much. The only character I think was there often was Berta, but that made sense because she worked there.
@@brittneybrisbin744 ....Actually, she barely "worked" there, which was often funny! ..."I'm not cleaning that up!".
@@jusayenso8186 I loved her! "Somebody should clean that up!" Rip Conchata❤.
Personally, I’d have time jumped. Have Alan now owning the house. An adult Jake and his son, having to move in with his dad.
I quite liked Waldon. He would’ve worked well as a neighbour or something.
Yeah I thought it would have been better and funny if Allen thought he was in Charlie's will and thinks he's getting the house until it's revealed at the end that the house everything went to Jake ( or even Berta lol)
I personally would have actually reworked part of season 7. Actually had Charlie marry Chelsea as a sort of possible series finale.
@@thebeaver8456 That probably would have been hilarious.
Ye definitely
If Charlie was so rich, why wouldn’t Alan have gotten a good sum of money after his death? Who else would he have left it too if not Alan and Jake? Granted I assume he didn’t have a will but wouldn’t they obviously be the ones who would get his money?
Season One remains my favorite for the simple fact that Charlie's character experienced development. It still had it's funny and silly moments but Charlie Harper continued to grow throughout the season and realize he cared for Jake and Alan deeper than he thought. After that I felt like the show remained stagnant and ignored character development for the remainder of Charlie's time on the show. He would grow and regress interchangeably each week.
You described the highs and lows of bipolar manic depression🎢🌋⛷️
I've always wondered how Season 8 would have ended had Charlie not gone on his public meltdown. The season ended with Alan paying back everyone with his Ponzi scheme, that's when the show went on hiatus. Then season 9 we got Walden. I wonder how the season would have ended had it gone its natural plane.
It’s funny that Charlie was making fun of Chuck’s stage name when Charlie Sheen is a stage name.
"Carlos Irwin Estevez". Interesting.
His real name is Carlos which is basically Charles therefore Chuck too lol
@Chuck Haggert you may think that native americans/incas descendents are "hispanic" because the language they speak but this still doesn't make "spanish" a race, even canadian is a race?
When i watch Martin's traits i see a caucasian guy, like the majority of spanish people (if you consider north african immigrants as actually representatives of being of spanish heritage. if not spanish people are 100% causasian).
Also that Chuck and Charlie are both nicknames of Charles
@@scaccu His brother got all the MENA looks from the Spanish tho
Chuck Lorre started it! Chuck stated in his blurb at the end of the show, "if Charlie Sheen outlives me .."
The big bang theory is a passive-aggressive insult to all of nerd culture.
Yes, it pretends to be for nerds (when you don't even need to know a lot about nerd culture to understand lots of the jokes) when the joke is actually on them
@@amandalopes3048 And you can tell it's audience isn't Nerds, b/c we'd all see just how much the show is trying to talk shit about us. Mainstream sucks sometimes.
and yet a nerd gets a beautiful blonde wife of his dreams x2
Tbh the first 3 seasons were ok. Ruined it when they started bringing more women into the cast, it was better off with just Penny.
At least the show gave us Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco
The last season of two and a half men feels like a fever dream
Charlie doesnt have to act he can just be himself, fkn awesome
yeah because actors are paid to just be themselves.
I generally dislike most ashton episodes of the show but also understand that the shows run wasover w/o charlie. Plus it wasnt entertaining w/o him
odd, i liked them far more then i expected.. i like Charley as an actor.. but the man needs help... somebody that can help him manage his life and stress...
i expected to hate "kelso" in the show but... i found i got past it faster then expected... knowing the story about why it happened...i was also more willing to give it a shot...
but then..that 70's show could have so easily moved into "that 80's show" and just had "erik" on as a guest star from time to time... i didnt like the replacement guy at first..but.. before it was canceled..i started to like the show more again..odd as that may sound to some people..
i dont blame them for firing Charley..... i know people who where on crew for 2.5men and some of his movies. and hes always been... a problem child... i feel for him... if the dude would just calm the fuck down, learn to manage his shit...
i also...again was shocked how much i didnt hate Kelso..i mean ashton in the show... could have been better..but i also cant blame ashton..he didnt play a clown or fool.. and im sure the writing and direction were more to blame then ashton for the stuff that bothered me...as i have seen him do a good job acting... i would have liked him to play himself though or somebody based on himself... that would have been amusing to me... more so then what they went with...
note: i cant blame ashton, and i found a good number of the charlie episodes.. just as...lacking sadly...
Phillip Ward no lies
Ashton sucks!!

Chuck: I broke my show

@@Rex67Diego9 So? Chuck still broke the show by getting rid of him
@@coolguy5412 the show was already broken, seasons 6 to 8 were already a shadow of what it was, it was a terrible show at that point.
Chuck didnt brake it, Charlie Sheen did, charlie became impossible to work with. chuck just kept trying to milk a death horse, but the show was done way before
@@Rex67Diego9 6-8 wasn't broken. It was a severe fracture after a shovel hit it in the face
Charlie Sheen already knew he was hiv positive before his last regular season.. take a look at his physical condition a season apart. He was unusually lethargic, dramatic weight loss, etc.
i love the intro warning to kids watching this because are there really any kids watching a 40 minute analysis about two and a half men
This is the only comedy show I rewatch every year.... only the first 8 seasons.
When he left they should've just made a spinoff if they really wanted it to continue somehow, the show became abysmal trash after it.
CarKiller92 I was thinking the same thing a Spinoff would have been perfect its should be called Alan and Walden
Season eight is the only dvd without bloopers - I wonder why...
Nothing was funny then.
the gag reel would have been longer than the actual season

I will never get how Charlie Sheen was able to consume 10% of the world's coke and alc and still looks somewhat good

Honestly,in a perfect world
Charlie&rose get married with a proper marriage/well developed relationship .not rushed ,show there kids as well.
Charlie, allen and there mom solve there issues most likely in a trapped in something 1 hour episode.that would bring tears to tha eyes. even have a sweet brotherly flashback with charlie n allen during there father's funeral or just something emotionally small
Allen finally leaves charlie,judth &lenzie.as a fully developed character. Who stands up for himself ,does as he likes ,stronger and ready to see what lies ahead. Quiting his job. Have him hug Charlie goodbye , then steal one of his cuban cigars, smoke it as he walks off into the sunset with his jacket over his shoulder
Jack simply becomes a chef ,even admits to berta he's not actually dumb he just acts like it. To get judth to stop arguing with allen all the time. Show scenes where judth really gets on allens ass, til she turns her attention to jakes stupidty.
Berta gets the beach house as a thank you from charlie, plus a weekly

@@sleepy9102 yup cuz charlie sheen wouldn't be open to it & chuck can be repetitive with his story telling and go no where. He'd probably turn the ending down. There egos are to big to write a proper ending
Rose is crazy the marriage with Charlie wouldn’t last
Alan Harper for me just got old after awhile. The show was about two brothers and it felt like they were actual brothers. Charlie Harper had a huge arc. He never had to take in his brother, he gave up a marriage for his brother, and to me his death he would have left the house to Alan. Charlie Harper was always coming out on top but I noticed in his final season in how his character was being portrayed. Charlie Harper regardless of his drugs and drinking always seem to keep his shit together but now Lorre was trying to paint the opposite.
Instead Lorre trashed Charlie Harper thinking he was trashing Charlie Sheen. Walden Schmidt just did not work. The show was no longer about two brothers. Alan Harper just got more pathetic. Sure he was a cheap bastard but it was his brother he was mooching off of not to mention as I said earlier, Charlie Harper may have played pranks on his younger brother when they were growing up, it felt like there was genuine brotherly love though. I do not think Lorre understood that. Alan just seemed more of a dick to his late brother. I mean fuck dude, he took you in and you mooched off of him for years yet all he could do is talk in a negative light?
I watched the show till the end.
