I hope Two & Half Men will at least be on CBS for 2 more seasons.

Is this their 12th season and also the final season?
Who says the 12th is the finial reason?

I read one of the newspapers, several weeks ago, saying that Season 12 of this show is their final season of this series!

I don't think anything's been determined yet.

If "Two and a Half Men" gets a 12th season, then I hope "The Big Bang Theory" runs through its 12th season as well.

I'll miss it, but I did like it better when Charlie and Jake were on and the mother was on moore.

I adore the mother !!!!

It has improved a little with Charile's daughter being added. Last season was abysmal. Unfortunately they are going overboard with orgies happening now and being video taped, even Berta was in on it in a recent episode.

They need to get back to the original premise though it's changed, and give Alan's mother more screen time she's hilarious.

I agree that the orgies are waaaay overboard. All the side characters are experimenting with the opposite sex and the same sex. Ridiculous!!! The show did not make the top 25 for last week ending in 11/11/13. TBBT was in second and "Crazy Ones" made 25th. Maybe "Two and a half" made somewhere around 30? The show is in the 11th season. I want the show to have a 12th so if possible, the networks that aired reruns could air the Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher packages separately if they wanted to like All In The Family and Archie Bunker's Place.

The last episode went even further showing Walden's mom, Lynda Carter, and Charlie's daughter sneaking out of the daughter's bedroom early in the morning after a dinner the evening before. They were even carrying a kitchen appliance. Charlie's daughter had hit on both of the other women.
A previous episode showed reviewing a tape of a drug fueled orgy and it was discovered the even Berta was involved.
They have gotten pretty much to the bottom of the barrel as far as unshown explicit content. I like the new character but the show is just old. Scenes implying Alan is gay for Walden are also increasing and they do look like a gay couple at times.
I wonder if CBS moving the show to a bad time slot has to do with content or them being tired of the show but milking it for every last dime before they end it? I really can't see a real finale' - somebody gets married, somebody moves away, etc. I'd rather it just end the way sitcoms used to do with a regular episode.

I saw each and every one of them. I was disappointed that Lynda Carter and Walden's mom got in on that action. It's like they are using a formula of "Oh, we have nothing else so let's get orgies or gay exploratory sex going" because they can't think of anything original. It's becoming eye rolling to me.

This is why I really think they should just let the show fizzle out. Of course there is going to have to be a big finale episode. I just can not imagine what they are going to do for it. Maybe Walden and Alan's gay wedding? They are so far out of ideas now it shows badly. I'm kind of tired of these cliche' finales anyway. They are so predictable 99% of the time.

^^ You mean, you hate series finales/farewell episodes? You hate when a show's status quo gets destroyed when it leaves the airwaves? You probably long for the days when a long-running program has no story arcs and it just up and get cancelled?

I meant that I hate that most have become tired and cliched. Shows like "The Fugitive" or "Dalls" require them. I think Mary Tyler Moore was the biggest one for sitcoms.
All in the Family never really had a finale' episode nor really did Archie Bunker's Place so one of TV's greatest characters exited just fine without one.
It was fine for awhile but many shows had convoluted endings that you could sometimes tell the cancellation notice was received when sudden new job offers in far away places and new romances suddenly sprang up and there were weddings and pregnancies galore.
My main point is regarding that they should end this specific show because while a new character has added a little steam, overall the writers are burnt out to the point that everything has been done except filmed drug induced orgies and lesbian 3 ways with Lynda Carter involved strongly implied. That is about all that hasn't been done and now they have used that.
The steady decline of the Alan character getting increasingly more pathetic. Open drug use. The threesome episode with Lindsay, Alan and Walden. It is just shock value disguised very thinly as a plot and comedy.
My thought was just put the show to sleep since there is nowhere left to go. No need to drag it out. Walden gets a girl pregnant, they get married and move away leaving pathetic Alan who probably moves in with Lindsay to sponge off her doesn't sound like much fun.
Short of Charile appearing in a quick cameo still alive.

That's because series finales/wrap-up episodes have become more commonplace now than they were in the past. In the old days (before the 1990s), most scripted series consisted of standalone episodes with no continuing story arcs, so there was little or no reason to provide closure at the end of a scripted program's run.

Thing is, loaferman, you cannot stop a great scripted TV show from getting a proper send-off/series finale episode.

Really? You literally can not stop it. I'm sure the network will want it but what if Lorre decides he is not doing it? Not saying he will do that, but what if he did?
Until around the time of "Mary Tyler Moore" few sitcoms got a proper ending with all the same old story wrap-ups rushed to simultaneous conclusion.
Norman Lear never gave Archie Bunker a finale and it is arguably one of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

I don't really care for Two and a Half Men and I've only seen bits of it here and there, but after reading the descriptions of some episodes here- wow! I can see even more now why Jake Austin called the show filth. Sorry to any fans out there, but I will be quite happy to see this show finally end.
(Of course, I don't care either way really- I know the ol' stand-by - if you don't like it, don't watch it. No problem there- I don't.):eek: :(

The show has gone into the "can you top this" style except more in a "can you go lower" style. They go as far as current network TV will allow. Out of all shows I really can't see the "traditional" finale - somebody moves while coincidentally at the same time somebody else gets married or has a baby, while at the same time ... etc etc- working for this show.

I know they will do it and I know it will have to be as outrageous as possible but I think they have carried things so far I'm not sure where there is left to go. Maybe if Charlie would come back and secretly still be alive that would be fairly original.

Sometimes a bit of restraint and the less is more concept holds true. Now almost every time the word "come" is used on the show the laugh track makes it sound like the funniest word ever.

Are "Beverly Hillbillies", "Andy Griffith", "Sanford and Son" or Archie Bunker any less because none had the ridiculous obligatory cliche' filled finale?

I still cannot understand how this POS of a show has lasted 12 seasons, how is that possible?

I don't know Mace Dolex, no sitcom can beat "I Dream Of Jeannie" by getting offered for its 13th season at all. This show has to end right away, it's kind of too long and boring at the same time.

Having heard no announcement and the season ending in May, I assume there will be season 13. The show is expensive to make, but it draws decent ratings and has a core audience, plus the money from syndication must make it worth continuing to churn them out. I have noticed episodes seem to be getting shorter as the show ages.

Question is if they do return for a season 12,will they actually make an episode without a reference to masturbation for the first time inn years?

1. Didn't Carroll O'Connor blast CBS for cancelling Archie Bunker's Place (at the last minute) after its fourth season in 1983? O'Connor vowed never to work for CBS again, even though In the Heat of the Night (which O'Connor also starred in) moved from NBC to CBS in 1992.

2. The current season of Two and a Half Men is the show's 11th one, not its 12th. If TaaHM is renewed for a 12th season, I'm expecting it to be the final season, and a shortened season (likely between 12 and 18 episodes). Season 5 was shortened due to the writers strike, and season 8 was shortened due to Charlie Sheen's problems, and later his firing from the show.

3. If series finale episodes are cliche, then everything on TV nowadays is a cliche.
