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
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.
I gave it a chance, I believed in this season, I tried to like it, very hard, despite everything, but I just can't stand anymore. This show is dead! And don't get me wrong, I know that Kutcher have made some decent work in the past, take The Butterfly Effect for example, which I simply love to watch. I love this movie so much that I try to make like there's never been two lame sequels to it. It's just this one movie and that's it.
As about one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, sorry, but as much as Kutcher tries, there's no salvation to it.
I mean, Charlie Sheen is lots of fun, he can be an a**hole as a person, I don't care, but in the series, I used to LMAO with him and the rest of the cast.
Even the worst episode with Sheen is far better than this travesty now that they call Two and a Half Men Season 9.
Five episodes. No laughs, not even giggles. I'm done. The show is pretty dead to me.
As long as they don't bring Charlie back to this, do not even consider calling me to watch this garbage again.
3 stars in memory of what this show used to be once. A funny as hell experience. Now nothing but a travesty of itself.

Where once stood a proud and mighty hilarious comedy with Charlie Sheen now stands a terrible pile of garbage with Ashton Kutcher. If they had simply traded actors and kept the writing it would have been excellent, but does anyone else get the feeling that the writers left with sheen? Or it might be the fact that Charlie knew how to act in TV shows as where kutcher... well come to think of it where was he a good actor because in all the movies I remember him in he's always this really dumb guy who just walks around clueless. Perhaps he figured that would work on shows too, it didn't. Being a slacker in your movie carrier doesn't give you license to be an idiot in a beloved series, but thanks for ruining that for us well done producers you just firebombed a good show. 1/10 since season 9.
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.
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.

Topics have included a riff on slang words that Lorre wants to coin, the reason a certain scene containing the line of dialog that was used as the episode's title was edited out, and a screenplay about Lorre's assistant entering his office and finding him curled up in the fetal position.
