Summary
Reviewers say 'Two and a Half Men' saw a notable drop in quality post-Charlie Sheen. Sheen's character, Charlie Harper, was credited for much of the show's charm and humor. Ashton Kutcher's introduction as Walden Schmidt received mixed feedback; some appreciated the change, while others missed Sheen's chemistry and humor. The writing and character dynamics were criticized for worsening after Sheen's departure, leading to a consensus that the series lost its original appeal and struggled to retain its former success.
Featured reviews
It was only two and a half men until season eight, after that it was just a simple show, a pity ...
The role of Ashton Kutcher was good, but this sudden turn of the story and the events that caused it, I could not follow with the same mentality as before, this show belonged to Charlie Sheen, is and will be.
I'm giving 8 stars to the S1-S8. They are so funny to watch even repeatedly. To be honest, without Charlie,I never finish watching even one episode of S9 and I would not watch it any more. This show now is dead to me. I'd rather watch the former 8 seasons again and again. I like Charlie, Rose, little Jake, Berta and Evelyn in the show. At first I think this show is just for fun. But as I watch more, I realize that there are a lot of other things that I like which can make people stop to think. Charlie seems to be womanizing and nonchalant to his mother and brother at first. Yet I see a loving Charlie when Evelyn is vulnerable, when he comes into Jake's room to find the sulking Jake who is hiding in his room just because Charlie threatens Alan to move out. Rose loves Charlie so much and she is a good girl. So funny to see her head popping out from the deck. .... This show, S1-S8, is one of the best sitcoms in my eyes.
I have an idea to get Charlie back. What if Rose threw the wrong guy under the train (because Charlie stepped back to look at all the girls). Charlie saw and is on the run trying to get home....probably sleeping his way home ;-) Waldon owns the house but could get back with his wife thanks to Alan's (Jake's?) help. Waldon is so grateful he gives the house to Alan as a big thank you. That's when Charlie shows up. Except now it's Alan's house and not his. Of course he can't afford to live there and does need Charlies money. What do you think? Could this work ? Good idea, bad idea???? I will really miss having this show on TV and if it keeps going the way it is people are going to stop watching. We need smart, not stupid humor. Where did the writers go.....did they leave too???
I have to say Two and Half Men has really grown on me over the years. It's always on so it's hard to miss but I've come to like it a lot. Like most people have already pointed out it was obviously a lot better with Charlie Sheen but I don't think it was as terrible with Ashton Kutcher as some people say. It was still watchable as long as you try to look at it as its own show and not compare the two. It's just too bad that Sheen went nuts because they could've probably got a few more good seasons with him and Cryer. This is one of those shows you can have on in the background as you're doing other stuff around the house because you've seen all the episodes several times.
Two and a half men doesn't deserve to go on,now that they've fired Charlie sheen and hired Asthon Kutcher as his replacement.This show is nothing without Charlie Sheen he was the main reason to watch this show.I have to admit this show started losing its's potential once Jake started getting older. It seems like every episode had the same plot Charlie sleeping with random women he doesn't care about and Alan whining about his social life,don't get me wrong this show was funny during the time Charlie Sheen was on the show.Ever since Ashton Kutcher came on this show its gotten very vulgar it seems like the writers have an obsession with farting,masturbation,sex,and bathroom jokes.Bottom line this show needs to be canceled.
