One of America’s most successful comedy series with 262 episodes spanning 12
seasons “Two And A Half Men” ended this week. The series kicked off with Charlie
Harper (Charlie Sheen) a jingles writer who is feared of commitment, lives in
beach front property in Malibu. In the first episode he was joined by his
divorced brother and Chiropractor Dr.Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) and his growing son
Jake (Angus T.Jones) (2 1/2 men).
These 3 people hilarity continued upto Season 8 after Charlie
Sheen’s disparaging comments about the series creator Chuck Lorre ended the
season abruptly. The series continued without Charlie Sheen, new
character, Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) buys the beach
house and asks Alan and Jake to continue to stay with him.
Finally in season 12 Walden Schmidt marries Alan pretending to be gay couple for adopting a baby. The show titled “Of course he’s dead” concluded somewhat satisfying the audience.
The final episode was very much hilarious and had many guest
stars surprisingly the action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger did a cameo as
Lieutenant Wagner who briefly describes the story of the series in ten
seconds.Another interesting cameo is Christian Slater who is kept in custody
because he looked like Charlie Harper. I do not want to write much about the
final episode it might spoil the viewing.
Of the above persons Jon Cryer appeared in all the 262 episodes
of the series and he had won best supporting actor in a comedy series and also
best lead actor in a comedy series.
