After an unintended hiatus caused by the writers’ strike, the cast and creators of Two and a Half Men have hit the ground running with new episodes near completion and a return appearance by Jenny McCarthy on the horizon.
“There was an excitement to be back,” star Charlie Sheen told PEOPLE at an Academy of TV event at the Leonard Goldenson Theater, explaining that while the cast and crew felt the show was on top of its game this season, the three-month break re-energized the team. “We were really cookin’ and then it all stopped … We all got back and a couple days into it and we were fine. We didn’t miss a step.”
And based on Sheen’s description of the first two new episodes, the show hasn’t lost its taste for adult comedy or for creatively humiliating the brothers played by Sheen and co-star Jon Cryer. “I try to help Jon out of a relationship that’s going bad, and that backfires — he winds up with a groin injury and I wind up getting Maced,” Sheen said. “And [next] Jon is obsessed with his ex-wife’s new husband being a much better lover than he ever was.”
