Two and a Half Men Review

Two and a Half Men features Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.  The similarities between Charlie/ Alan and Oscar/ Felix  is striking. The era is different but the clashes are very similar. While the is no Murray "the cop", there is Berta, the housekeeper, there's Mom, and of course the kid!!!

The wit and sarcasm in the show is clear and well proportioned. It interwines and weaves itself within the sometimes weak/thin story lines. But this wit is what makes the show so funny. The fact that the story lines are sometimes shallow doesn't mean that the cleverness involved in injecting the funny stuff should be overlooked. After all wasn't Felix and Oscar doing the same things in their daily plights as well???  The chemistry shared by Jack and Tony is, to me the same chemistry of Charlie and Jon.

The kid is getting older now and maybe the show can be 2 3/4 men !! But I'm sure they will figure out a way to keep that angle clever as well. He has great timing and delivery of his lines and is a real plus on the show because of it.

 I am a big fan of Two and a Half Men . There are very few funny shows on TV these days. But this one is 2 1/2 levels above the rest. I will keep watching!!
