Charlie Sheen’s penultimate season continued Men’s winning streak as America’s most-watched sitcom. But just as in Six, there’s an ongoing decline in the series’ quality, primarily due to a dwindling ability to play in story with the premise and these characters, who are becoming increasingly detached from both episodic plot and the ribald-often-crude sense of humor that is now defining the show beyond those narratively crucial elements of its situation. For example, Seven furthers the arc of Charlie trying a serious relationship, and this entire essay is going to sound like a retread of last week’s, for all the same issues from Six persist — only accelerated — for although putting the lascivious bachelor in a long-term commitment is itself a form of growth, Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor) still has no personality, and she doesn’t help contribute character-based story, which only sometimes has anything to do with the specifics of the heretofore well-defined Charlie.
