Angus T. Jones Returns To CBS’ "2.5 Men", Gets Jaime Pressly As Love Interest

He’s back! After a month-a-half hiatus, "Two And A Half Men" co-star Angus T. Jones is returning to the set of the CBS comedy next week to film his first episode following the release of his controversial religious testimonial, in which he slammed the racy series as “filth” and urged viewers to “stop watching it.”

In a sign that there are no hard feelings between "2.5 Men" producers and Jones, whose character has been stuck Skype-ing from the Army for most of this season, he is getting a meaty storyline in his first episode back.



Emmy winner Jaime Pressly has been cast as a new love interest for Jones’ Jake. She will be introduced in the episode, which starts production on Monday.

In a guest starring and potentially recurring role, the "My Name Is Earl" alumna Pressly will play Jake’s “cougar” girlfriend from the sticks of SD.





In red carpet interviews at the People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday night, "Men" executive producer Chuck Lorre confirmed that Jones will be back at work on Monday and indicated that the controversy over the actor’s viral anti-Men rant has blown over and all has been forgiven.

“He’s part of our show. He’s part of our family. We love him,” Lorre said. “He’s 19, man. Cut him some slack.”

Lorre even supported Jones’ most explosive comment. “I can’t really disagree with him — the show’s kind of filthy,” Lorre quipped. “What he said wasn’t wrong… We hope it’s funny, as well.”

The show has gotten so bad this season that adding her to the mix shouldn't make much of a difference. Maybe she will make it more interesting. And last weeks little musical number about being a douche was the pits in my opinion.

It was Sheen's fault to begin with. I wish he had kept things under control during this time there...because I miss him now!!! I'm glad he is doing well on his new show.

This season has been pathetic with the musical number and this week's episode and Alan's "accident". I watch the reruns and notice how far they have let the Alan character decline from pathetic to worse than pathetic. Aside from a rare Berta appearance with a few good quick lines, this week was another unfunny mess. The whole Walden as "Sam" storyline re-jumped the shark IMO.

When the show focuses on Alan, Lindsay, Berta, and Jake, it's funny. When they introduce Walden storylines, however, I am completely bored.

I absolutely, positively agree. The storyline of Walden pretending to be destitute Sam Wilson was to me a double and triple jump. It also proves that romantic relationships should not be based on lies. Honest is one of the most important keys to a successful relationship.
