I quite like the show. Is the latest series due to start, or already started, on Paramount?

Is it still riding high in the ratings over in America?

Yeah, cheers. I caught up with repeats of the first two at the weekend and saw one of the two shown last night. I'll probably watch the other one next weekend.

Yeah, it's a lot funnier than I would have thought.

But then, Charlie Sheen is a much more talented comedic actor than I think he gets credit for.

It's very funny, but I haven't really caught up with S3 onwards! It's one of my favourite shows, it's got some really funny lines - especially from Jake.

"timmy, this is the birds and the bees"

Surprised I never commented on this thread. I have always enjoyed the show. I think it's funny. Yes, it's a "one joke" show but it still makes me laugh. I am quite curious to see how they handle it without Sheen.

:scratch: Are you sure we're talking about the same show?

It's mostly based around one joke with Charlie Sheen, but it's done very well. I thought Sheen was excellent in it. I can't see anyone replacing him. I have to take off my hat to some of the jokes they manage to fit into such a mainstream, primetime, show

I was wondering that too MC. I certainly wouldn't even come close to calling Two and a Half Men "wholesome". The entire show revolves around Charlie's debauchery!

And it's not like his brother was some voice of reason type to counter Charlie's excesses - Alan was usually just as bad given half a chance :lol: He'd put up a half-hearted argument but then be all "ah screw it".

Wholesome would be way low down on the list of words i'd be associating with it on iMDB. I'd never in a million years have seen the connection with The Cosby Show :lol:

:twisted: Sort of like Charlie Sheen himself :lol:

I can't say i've ever watched the show.
It has, what has got to officially, the worst theme tune EVER!
Every time I hear that bloody tune I grab for the remote.
