10 Reasons Why Two And A Half Men Was Better When It Didn't Exist

This one has taken "jumped the shark" to a whole new level.I personally can't figure out how the ratings have still been there.Maybe on the series finale either Charlies's ghost could visit Alan in a dream or maybe his death could turn out to be a dream of Alan's.

The show was on its last legs with Charlie. Without him it has jumped so many sharks I have lost count & stopped watching. The musical episode was when it became clear the show would never improve, Walden pretending to be "Sam" was just stupid, and both lead characters having horrible genital injuries portrayed as "humor" about 2 or 3 episodes apart was the last straw for me. What next, mutilation? When horrible injuries and pain are the jokes it is time to call it a day.

Two and a Half Men was slipping creatively in the last season or two with Charlie Sheen. I wish they could have worked out their differences for a few episodes, filmed a nice series finale, and then called it quits. The show is horrible with Ashton Kutcher. Too bad what was once one of my all-time favorite comedies is now a pile of crap.

So without Charlie Sheen, this once hilarious and consistant program became a smoldering, insect infected, smoking pile of CRAP!

Yeah,kind of like when "Welcome Back Kotter" when they went without Kotter in many episodes of the last season.Or like "Happy Days" after Richie joined the army and went off to Greenland.And Charlie Sheen's pure acting abilities up against those of Ashton Kutcher?Let's put it this way.Kutcher not only doesn't measure up comedically,he could NEVER have done something like "Platoon".And yes,I agree that "Men" did start off with more of a Charlie slant than an Alan one,as evidenced by the fact that while Sheen was around,Jon Cryer was considered a "supporting" actor.Last year,he won the Emmy for best LEAD ACTOR.This only further illustrates the true ramifications of Sheen's departure.
