Advantages: Funny, great characters, one liners

Disadvantages: Bit repetitive, not enough Jake

I only discovered Two and A Half Men sometime last year, I didn't like it at first but after watching it a few times I grew to love it.

It's shown pretty much every day on Comedy Central, several times a day in fact! It's now in its 7th season and new episodes are shown on Monday nights and then they are repeated throughout the week.

Two and A Half Men follows the lives of Charlie, his brother Alan and Alan's son Jake.

Charlie (played by Charlie Sheen) is a selfish, self centred man who makes lots of money from writing jingles and children's music. He used to be a playboy who did nothing apart from drinking and sleeping around but he's recently got engaged to Chelsea and he's trying to settle down but it's not easy for him!

Alan (played by Jon Cryer) split up from his crazy wife Judith so moved in with a reluctant Charlie. Alan is very geeky and basically let's people walk all over him, he has little control over Jake and his ex wives take him for most of his money. After divorcing Judith, Alan got married to a hot 22 year old named Candy in Vegas; it didn't last though once the money had run out...

Jake (played by Angus T Jones) is, in my opinion, the best thing about this TV show. When the show started he was about 9 and he is just hilarious. Now he's around 15 and he's just as funny but doesn't seem to get as much air time as he used to though which is a real shame. He's really quite stupid and lazy and some of the lines he comes out with just crack me up.

There are some regular characters such as Jakes mum Judith; she is crazy and a bit of a man hater! She's remarried Herb, who like Alan is a total pushover. Judith is pregnant with her second child and we're not sure if the father is Alan or Herb...

Berta is the housekeeper and she is so funny, she's really sharp and loves nothing more than bitching and stirring up trouble, she's definitely one of the better characters in the show.

Evelyn Harper is Charlie and Alan's mother, she isn't the best Mum in the world so they have a sketchy relationship but she's really funny.

Chelsea is Charlie's new fiancée and she is doing her best to get Charlie to settle down. I don't really know much about her, she isn't the best character really, and I find her quite dull.

Rose recently made reappearance after not being in the show for a while; I really hope she comes back for good because she is really funny. She's completely insane and has stalked Charlie since they had a one night stand in season one. She does really crazy things like licking all his spoons or gluing his cupboard doors shut.

Two and A Half Men is the biggest comedy in America and I can understand why. It's full of one liners, rude innuendoes and really daft comedy. It is quite "samey" but it doesn't get boring. I think it's a lot like Friends in that you can watch it over and over and still find it funny.

Summary: A great show that is easy to watch and is very funny
