Lorre’s increasingly exasperated end cards were funnier than the show itself. Once I noticed Sheen’s nasally voice (too much coke?) I found it hard to get through an episode. That and the laugh track. And the claustrophobic sets and repetitive wardrobe… great show for a while.
Not withstanding Charlie's obvious coke and alcohol usage spilling on to the set, the repetitive wardrobe, his incessant inability to play well with the other cast members and Lorre, etc., etc , etc., Two And A Half Men was the funniest, most clever sitcom in television history. (Of course in my opinion). I didn't like nor care for any of the other recent history sitcom writing, directing, hail satan casts, set's or storyline's. The absolute winning team of cast, writers and directing, quick real world punch lines, comebacks and award winning sarcasm killed everything else out there. Kutcher, in my opinion, destroyed the shows momentum and was a round peg in a square hole at best. I don't care how much other people liked him, I thought casting him was inexcusable. He was a dud and ruined the shows chances for more seasons. The four seasons he did remain as the lead character was like putting perfume on a pig, it didn't make sense. They had to adjust the whole feel, theme, delivery and soul of the show around him. That was the death blow! And I'm just some schmo from Detroit that could see that! Was I too strong? Hahahaha!!! But really folks...
I agree its not the same after charlie left and i think the reason why isnt just from the change of cast but also there personalities changed and not for the better. a prime example is allen and Lindsay relationship where they were happy ya allen was cheap but not as cheap as he was with Waldon in the show in seasons 8-12 allen and lindsay went through a shift were she was a depressed single mother who got left to a depressed single mother who used allen as a toy when she was bored and allen going along with it so long as he got something out of it. Those weren't the characteristics we knew in 1-7 of the show so why change it now?
Kutcher was useless-Chuck Lorre had considered John Stamos for the role (would have been funny to see the contrast between his "Uncle Jesse" role to a scuzzy character)
Show was absolutely unwatchable after season 8 episode 16. Only reason people tuned in for season 9 episode 1 was to see how they would get rid of Charlie. Kutcher is nowhere near the talent of Charlie Sheen.
Same, these old episodes supportet me in many difficukt times. I have all the old seasons on dvd, and I rewatched it so many times, I think I can already talk with the characters lmao I miss the show, but let's be honest. Today this would not be possible.
@@elationmedia306 Yeah man same thing :D i watched the entire show 10 times. I haven't watched it for a while, but I'm sure i will watch it on some random website sometimes soon again.
Here in Mexico Two and a Half Men has great fanbase. And most of us agree that the show ended when Charlie left. From time to time I rewatch some episodes for some big laughs. This show was brilliant!
Ashton Kutcher could not replace Charlie in Two and a Hald Men the same way Charlie could not replace Ashton in That 70's Show. It simply can't be done.
When the show had Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen, they had a brotherly balance. Alan was the neurotic, dorky, awkward brother, constantly failing with women, the embodiment of the obnoxious little brother. Charlie on the other hand, was the competent, wealthy, good looking, smooth-talking ladies man that almost every guy dreams of being. When Charlie left and was replaced by Ashton, the dynamic changed. Kutchers' character Walden was absolutely nothing like Charlie and was just as awkward and weird as Allen, but slightly more improved than him.
Charlie Sheen was the star of Two and Half Men no matter how much Jon Cryer claims he was actually the co-star of the show, which became blatantly obvious when Charlie Sheen was terminated and Cryer could not carry the show with Ashton Kutcher. I wish they would rename the Kutcher episodes "Two Palace." For those of you who remember when the the 'Golden Girls' tried to continue without Bea Arthur they changed the name so we didn't tape/tivo/dvr shows we didn't want to watch. Nothing against Kutcher, but the shows producers changed the dynamic so much that all we had left were a few barely familiar characters. It became a completely different show after Charlie was fired. In my opinion, if Chuck Lorre was positive his format would continue to work without Charlie, why not rename the show to the "Two Guys" or "The Idiot Show" - Lorre and CBS continued the discombobulation of a one time hit show all for sake greed. Every time I see a Kutcher epis
@@radiomemories6913 Exactly. As soon as Kutcher showed up on set, it didn't feel at all like Two and a Half Men. The show felt more of a weird spin-off of the original.
a part of me thinks the Charlie Harper character was in part "alternate universe Chuck Lorre", as Charlie Harper claimed to Jake that he wrote the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme...
This show is my one stop whenever i am depressed or sad. Never fails to cheer me up, One of the greatest sitcom ever. Even after watching it multiple times never watched it beyond s8😅
Charlie was the person we all wanted to be this sitcom saved my life from being depressed After season 8 i quit Sheen can't be replaced at all those insane one liners and the Head of the epic trio was gone I can say this was the best sitcoms of all time Charlie Harper we miss you
God, I miss this show. It'll forever be one of those special shows to go back to when your feeling nostalgic. Many of the jokes/humor wouldn't fly on TV today. The early 2000's was truly a special time.
I live my life vicariously through Charlie Harper's life. All the 'wild things' that happened, all the dark comedic moments, the drunken stupors, the debaucheries... I can't hold a candle to the man but I can certainly laugh all the way to hell and back and not feel a single shred of guilt!
I forgot to include the very funny character of Berta, who’s chaotic humor was one of the central characters keeping the household together. Conchita Ferrel who we recently lost much to soon. Condolences…🙏😢
He didn’t mention that Angus T. Jones found religion and was absent the entire 11th season of the show and only made a cameo in the series finale in fact there were TH-cam videos of him urging people to not watch Two And A Half Men when he found religion
@Milanche377 yeah I agree but it was still somewhat watchable when Walden (Ashton Kutcher) entered the scene but yeah it was much better with Charlie if you actually read the vanity card in the very last episode entitled “Of Course He’s Dead” it actually says that Chuck Lorre wanted Sheen to come back and say something like “I’m an invincible alien” Chuck Lorre and his staff thought that would be funny Sheen however did not which is why Sheen doesn’t make an appearance in the final episode even though Lorre wanted him to
It seemed to me that Charlie was a bit more surly and hostile towards the end! Angus held his own but again, he was restless at the end! Ashton Kutcher was a square peg in a round hole and just wore everyone down.
Something I have always been curious about and you should had included in your video, is that: Charlie Sheen, Rose, Allan, Hellen, Berta, Herbert, Judith + a few other "guest stars" in Two and a Half Men, they ALL were in the Hot Shots 1+2 movies from the early 90s. Which was parody comedy movies. Was it the producers of Two and A Half Men that saw that movies and thought to himself that these guys have perfect chemistry? let's make a sitcom!
It was fun seeing Alan get degraded by his own brother and ex wife 😂 but it got real emotional and hard to watch when he lost his manhood to all people in Walden's life... Everyone taking a dump on him everywhere..even strangers😢😢😑
i think if u know Ahton from Punk'd and before, you know he is a fun guy. In two and a half , his character Waldon was lame and we were all mad Charlie is gone
I love this show. It does kinda feel like a totally different show after Charlie dies and Walden moves in, but I still watch it over and over again. Alan, Berta and Evelyn nailed their roles to the very end and kept the show alive for me. The whole show is so funny for me and I just love it, both with Charlie and with Walden. Just in different ways
I remember Ashton saying at Emmy, "I am not Charlie Sheen" and you know what Ashton, you will never be...!!! Charlie Sheen made the show what it is. I never saw it after season 8. (PS: I am not saying Ashton is a bad actor/person, but Charlie sheen was the soul of the show). His chemistry and rapport with the entire cast seamed natural and easy.
Mad respect to Charlie Sheen! If you don’t agree with that lifestyle, Well that’s why we live in America so you can have your own opinion and have your own lifestyle!
In my opinion, it wasn't about lifestyle. There's something here that I don't hear discussed very often. Charlie Sheen was always Charlie Sheen, that's what the show was based on. But at the end, what we saw was Charlie Sheen losing it as he dealt (or couldn't deal) with the fact that he was now HIV+.
No one can play Charlie Harper except Charlie Sheen. He nailed it. I miss that show. Please bring it back with Jake having a son and grandson for Charlie and Alan. Yes!!!!
my fav show of all time. This is what got me into sitcoms. I started watching it 3.5 months ago and finished one week ago while watching at least 3-4 episodes every day. It was the best coterie i had. I slowed down on the last season cause i didnt want to end it 😭😭 Any good sitcoms like two and a half men pls??
I loved Charlie Sheen in the show. I often just go back and watch it from the beginning. Watched the Ashton ones, ten years later on amazon prime, once off the air, which was better as I was able to skip over the really stupid episodes.
Kutcher tried I’ll give him that. Charlie was Charlie and it’s sad Sheen went the route he went. He could’ve kept it balanced but got worse and worse and worse each year
EXCELLENT summary! (I see why this has 66K Likes, as of Nov 2023). The switch to Kutcher never made sense (it was always Charlie's show), and I completely lost interest when Sheen left.
Hold up did I just here 7:42 that she was only going to be in 2 episodes then they loved her suggestion so much she appeared in 198 more episodes yo I still miss conchanta rip
It's not the writing that killed it, it's changing the very frame of the show.... it was no longer about two and a half men, it became a totally different sitcom... If they had started it like that from the beginning with him not being Alan's brother but as two strangers being roommates it would have tanked before the first season was over... there would not have been anyone watching anymore. I repeat, it was the common bond the characters had that made the show what it was...when they removed the skeleton the corpse collapsed....
"Jake" did parts of that movie in west tx in my hometown peaple think im crazy thank u its real history....amazing he got it cause of that movie🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
In season nine, when Ashton join the show, the script they gave Jon Cryer, making him such a sucky loser, turned me off so much, I could hardly watch it. When they had Jon and Ashton "marry" was the final straw SO STUPID. Also, the hole series would have been better if they had portrayed Jake as really smart instead of a bozo. When young, Jake was really smart. Then as the show progressed and Jake got older, the writers made him stupid.
There are two fundamental truths about 2 1/2 men: 1. It ran for 10 seasons. What happened after that I don't really care. 2. Charlie Sheen was hired to play himself. But, like a drunk who is funny at parties but gets old, he got old. They can't really complain that he BECAME annoying, since he was always that.
to u whose reading this, i take a moment to pray that whatever u're going thru gets better & whatever u're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine. thru ups & downs, success & failures never forget the above almighty is always there spiritually & won't leave behind with u have faith & trust him with all ur heart & everything goes well, wishing everyone have a blessed day. Amen ❣️🙏🏼
It was Charlie's show. Remember he found out that he had HIV in 2011 just as his trouble on the show was happening the major trouble. Which led to his firing
I only watched a few of the Ashton Kutcher episodes and that was enough for me. Not only did Lorre not create a good character for him but I didn’t feel any real chemistry between Alan & Waldon
I will always love _Two And a Half Men_ with both Charlie and Ashton. Sure it helped me to see 'Michael Kelso' in a different role, but the man knows how to do comedy. Despite all that i do prefer the Charlie seasons a bit better. That's because that was the foundation to the show i love. Had Ashton did the first 8 seasons for example, it would be similar weird seing him replaced bij Charlie. Now moving on to watch the last s5 episodes on dvd and thinking of buying s9 to s12 also. Because _Two And a Half Men_ is my favorite Chuck Lorre show. Nice job everyone involved creating this:)
In my opinion it was one of the greatest comedy shows of all time one of things I love about it Charlie Sheen has to be one of the only actors I've ever heard that actually played himself in the show awesome in real life just like in the show.
Ashton's character never made sense to me. Why would a billionaire live in a normal house with roommates, a white trash housekeeper and a delinquent teenager? Why did they change Jake from a funny little boy to a stupid teenager? Alan wen't from a Job like figure to a mean and greedy little weasel. The show really fell apart after Charlie left.
What did you think of Two and a Half Men?
Absolutely loved it (with Charlie)
Loved Charlie's show
As much as I liked/loved the sitcom I dont want a revival.

Charlie Sheen fired for being Charlie Sheen from a show based on Charlie Sheen being Charlie Sheen.
Couldn’t have said it better
and then wanted a spin off of the same people
Turns out he was over-qualified.
There's no better way to say it
LMAO 🤣 nice
Charlie Sheen was the soul of the show. Ashton Kutcher couldn't surpass that.
Ashton SUCKED always have I can't stand that guy
Where have i seen this comment before? Oh yeah, every single other Two and a Half men video on youtube.
He couldn't, but I think it wasn't that bad honestly. Still made me laugh here and there and this is my 10th time watching the entire show.
He was good though..
But no Charlie Sheen
Ashton kutcher and Charlie sheen we’re both good in there own way

"Jake" did parts of that movie in west tx in my hometown peaple think im crazy thank u its real history....amazing he got it cause of that movie🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
6:10 It would be difficult to do a revival, with Jake's actor not into acting that much and Berta's actress's death.
In season nine, when Ashton join the show, the script they gave Jon Cryer, making him such a sucky loser, turned me off so much, I could hardly watch it. When they had Jon and Ashton "marry" was the final straw SO STUPID. Also, the hole series would have been better if they had portrayed Jake as really smart instead of a bozo. When young, Jake was really smart. Then as the show progressed and Jake got older, the writers made him stupid.
even "the harpers" sounds better then season 9-12
I quit watching after Charlie left. Don’t like Ashton.
Same
Lorre's inflated ego ruined it
There are two fundamental truths about 2 1/2 men:
1. It ran for 10 seasons. What happened after that I don't really care.
2. Charlie Sheen was hired to play himself. But, like a drunk who is funny at parties but gets old, he got old. They can't really complain that he BECAME annoying, since he was always that.
to u whose reading this, i take a moment to pray that whatever u're going thru gets better & whatever u're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine. thru ups & downs, success & failures never forget the above almighty is always there spiritually & won't leave behind with u have faith & trust him with all ur heart & everything goes well, wishing everyone have a blessed day. Amen ❣️🙏🏼
Man what a great show that was the time when you could have a show like this and be alright lol
The show was never the same after Charlie left. I tried to watch a couple of episodes but couldn't even get through them.
I am currently watching the reruns now. I have one more season to go
To bad sheen didn't handle it better because he made that show!
It was Charlie's show. Remember he found out that he had HIV in 2011 just as his trouble on the show was happening the major trouble. Which led to his firing
I only watched a few of the Ashton Kutcher episodes and that was enough for me. Not only did Lorre not create a good character for him but I didn’t feel any real chemistry between Alan & Waldon
But they apparently got married
I will always love _Two And a Half Men_ with both Charlie and Ashton. Sure it helped me to see 'Michael Kelso' in a different role, but the man knows how to do comedy.
Despite all that i do prefer the Charlie seasons a bit better.
That's because that was the foundation to the show i love. Had Ashton did the first 8 seasons for example, it would be similar weird seing him replaced bij Charlie.
Now moving on to watch the last s5 episodes on dvd and thinking of buying s9 to s12 also. Because _Two And a Half Men_ is my favorite Chuck Lorre show. Nice job everyone involved creating this:)
The best sitcom.
Choosing the right characters can either make a show a deal breaker.
Great show, I loved it. In reality Charlie is a c-grade actor. Ashton Kutcher is an s-grade actor. You can make up your own mind what s-grade means.
In my opinion it was one of the greatest comedy shows of all time one of things I love about it Charlie Sheen has to be one of the only actors I've ever heard that actually played himself in the show awesome in real life just like in the show.
Hugh Grant made the right call turning down the part
Please bring back the original TRIO !!! 🙌🙌🙌
Ashton's character never made sense to me. Why would a billionaire live in a normal house with roommates, a white trash housekeeper and a delinquent teenager? Why did they change Jake from a funny little boy to a stupid teenager? Alan wen't from a Job like figure to a mean and greedy little weasel. The show really fell apart after Charlie left.
Really miss the show…..
