Take a pair of bickering brothers, a precocious child, an ex-wife, and a meddling mother and you've got Two and a Half Men. In the sitcom's sophomore year, which aired during the 2004-2005 television season, siblings Charlie (Charlie Sheen) and Alan (Jon Cryer) have their living situation somewhat under control. Alan is still as fussy as ever and Charlie is a overgrown child who views women as his preferred playthings. But they somehow manage to provide a surprisingly stable home for Alan's 11-year-old son Jake (Angus T. Jones), who in many ways is more mature than either his father or uncle. Living together in sunny southern California, the two and a half men in this 21st-century version of The Odd Couple create a lifestyle that works for their oddball family, whether it's sparring with family members, dealing with intrusive friends, or juggling the various women who traipse in and out of their lives. If you think too much about it, it's unsettling that a child is thrown into some of the sexcapades. Though played for laughs, it's a tad creepy watching Jake walk into some PG-13 situations--some of them including his dad. When he learns his ex-wife is dating, Alan tries to give Charlie a run for the money in the bachelor department. Cryer has always been a natural when it comes to comedy, but Sheen's best work always has been in drama. This season, he comes into his own in an easygoing role that suits him. The storylines offered aren't unique, but Cryer and Sheen exhibit warm chemistry that elevates this so-so series. This year's guest stars include Sean Penn and Elvis Costello, who appear as heightened versions of themselves. Denise Richards--who was married to Sheen at the time--also guest stars as one of Charlie's babes. (The couple's real-life daughter, Sam, also makes her acting debut here.) The four-disc box set includes all 24 episodes from the second season, as well as a gag reel (that's pretty funny) and a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of the sitcom's stars. --Jae-Ha Kim

 Two and a Half Men - the Complete Season May 18, 2009
Robert F. Duran (Eunice, LA USA)
The Best Comedy on TV. Not only enjoy the actors but the writing is the best. Having a Bad Day; watch an episode and enjoy the laughs.
I'm now hooked on this show March 10, 2009

My father is the one who got me started on this show. I was visiting one day and Dad was downstairs laughing and laughing. I had to find out what was so funny. He was watching an episode of Two and a Half Men. I stayed and watched and became hooked. I bought this DVD for him -- so he could have a good laugh whenever needed.
Two and a Half Men's Best Season - The Ultimate Anti-Depressant February 27, 2009

I've kept up with the series over the past few years and recently brought the dvds out and watched through the first 4 seasons (all that are available on dvd at the time of this review) again. Without a doubt, I think the second season is the best of the series. I wouldn't rate any of the seasons, including the ones I've seen on TV that aren't out on disc yet, below a 3 (or a 3 and a half if that was an option), but I think this is the only season I'd give a perfect 5. Even having seen all of these episodes three or four times, I still can't stop laughing.
If you've watched the show in syndication on CW or WGN, you've probably seen several of these episodes (the syndication tends to be the first 3 seasons at this point). I've seen other reviews where people try and list out the best episodes of this season, but it's like trying to tell someone what the best songs on a Beatles album are: by the time you're done listing, you'll have named about 90% of the episodes in the season.
The 3rd Disc of this season is perfect. Charlie tries to take Alan to Vegas to ease his brother's fears of a colonoscopy but Alan's semi - OCD gets in the way. Judith feels the need to go on vacation from her stressful life of cashing alimony checks and leaves Jake with the brothers for a full week. Charlie and Alan each mess things up in extremely hilarious ways - based on the facial expressions alone, this might be Angus T. Jones best episode as Jake. Charlie convinces Alan to pretend to be his gay partner to impress an Ad exec - and the ensuing relationship is brilliant, especially when their mom finds out. Jake loses his portable game system in the coffin of one of his grandmother's ex husbands.
I still enjoy watching new Two and a Half Men on Mondays, but nothing beats this season. The story lines aren't repetitive yet. The dialogue is still fresh. And for me, the most important thing is the characters aren't dumb downed yet. Charlie is of course still a highly functional drunk, but he's not an idiot. His one liners are still littered with interesting tidbits and cultural references. He's not the low brow idiot the writers are quickly turning him into in later seasons. Alan's awkwardness is still fresh and hilarious. And as Jake, Angus Jones is the perfect age. Like the Charlie of later seasons, the writers have decided to really dumb down Jake. As an 11 year old in season 2, Jake is just a semi-naive kid with a lot of apathy and a few cups of bad influence.
I don't regret buying all of the seasons of the series, but if I could only keep one of them, it would be season 2. If you caught on to the show late and haven't seen the old episodes yet, this is a great place to start (and by no means is season 1 bad, this is just better if you only want to spend the money on one.)

I have enjoyed every episode. This is great adult entertainment. If I've had a bad day and need a laugh, I usually watch one of these episodes.
