Two and a Half Men - Let me vent

At first, my goal on this blog was to write about expressions in English and how they are and how they would be in Portuguese. Than, I started to write about my adventure when I was living in Moscow, Russia. Now, I'll just write.





Two and Half Men is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. It will be considered one of the best of my life. There is an online forum here in Brazil and I had to agree with the last post there, which says the show is over.

Should we blame Charlie Sheen? I won't loose my time with it, but let's be honest: Charlie Harper is, or was the soul of the show. Alan, Jake, Berta and Evelyn depend on Charlie. What are they without Charlie? The show has proven that without Charlie, they are nothing.

I thought Ashton Kutcher's character was going to be another Haper, even Evelyn isn't his real mother. He could have been Alan and Charlie's cousin, who was away for a long time. Walden Schmidt wasn't the right card to play. Two and a Half Men is a Harper's dynasty.

I understand how time is necessary to build Walden Schimdt's character. Ashton Kutcher was a great choice, but like I wrote on the paragraph above, Two and a Half Men is a Harper's dynasty. Walden has had some funny moments, but a lot of goofy ones. The producers kept Alan Harper the same way: in Malibu, living at the same house. But being Walden's "guest" hasn't been funny as it was when Charlie Harper was alive - since he got killed. I miss the chemistry between Charlie and Alan, something Walden and Alan haven't reached yet. Will they?

Let me make my mother's words mine: Jake Harper isn't funny anymore! My mom says he's not funny because he grew up. When he was younger, he had more funny lines than he has got. Since Eldridge's character got in the show, that's the moment Jake started to become not funny. I have some friends who smoke weed and don't get bored like Jake does. Whenever I think about weed - I don't smoke btw - Jake pops on my mind as an incentive to not smoke.

About that post I read here, the author says that the show ended when the Harper's house was redecorated. That was the moment where the Harper's dynasty was over. I understand that house belongs to Walden and he can do whatever he wants, but that was an turnover that will be hard to swallow.

Do you miss Evelyn? It seems she doesn't care about Alan and Jake. Not only Charlie had conflicts with her. There was or still has some room for conflicts between Alan and Evelyn, what could give us more funny lines to lol. How about Rose? Remember that episode when Walden's ex-wife tries to get back with him? What do we see at the end? Her stalking Walden and Rose giving her tips. I felt that moment that the show was going to be ok. What a waste of hope. See how Evelyn and Rose depends on Charlie?

What can we say about Berta? Judith and Herb? Not much, while I wish I could say more. They are still the same, but the way the show has gone, they could appear more, although Berta still has her quota like it used to be when Charlie was alive.

My question is: what will be Two And A Half Men's future? They show still has Two and Half Men, but a lot of people loosing interest on the show, loosing faith on its future and loosing time watching Two and a Half Losers.

The show will end, no matter why. I can't tell when and I don't wish it ends ASAP. I just think the show deserved a different character to replace Charlie Harper and when it ends, a better finale.
