Two and a Half Men About
About
Two and a Half Men is an Emmy Award nominated American TV show. Two and a Half Men airs on CBS, America's number #1 network, and is America's #1 sitcom. The show was renewed for 3 seasons, an almost unprecedented pick-up, in March 2009, taking it through to its 9th season in 2011/12.
Two and a Half Men originally focused on brothers Alan (Jon Cryer) & Charlie (Charlie Sheen). Alan, separated from his wife, is forced to move in, with his child, to Charlie's house. Charlie is a well-to-do bachelor with an easy way with women. His sex-filled casual Malibu lifestyle is hampered by Alan, and his son Jake (Angus T. Jones). Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn; Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith and Charlie's domineering, apologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta. Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common - they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.
Charlie Sheen was fired from the show in 2011 after his drug and alcohol problems began interfering with the show. Ashton Kutcher ("That '70s Show") was brought in to a retooled version of Two and a Half Men for its ninth season. Kutcher will play an internet billionaire named Walden Schmidt.
The show was created by Chuck Lorre ("The Big Bang Theory") and Lee Aronsohn ("Grace under Fire"). It is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions & The Tannenbaum Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Two and a Half Men stars Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle & Conchata Ferrell. Charlie Sheen was the lead for the show's first eight seasons.
