Two and a Half Men: Full of comedy stink bombs
Two and a Half Men is everything that’s wrong with TV. It’s expensive, not funny and on all the time. If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering what your 12-year-old nephew would whip up for a weekly scripted “comedy,” this is your answer. Sex jokes with the same punchline every time, a bevy of depressingly desperate aspiring actresses, and a tart tongued housekeeper who picks up after the oh-so-silly boys.
On this evening’s rerun, Charlie is at his wit’s end after Alan keeps texting the lothario’s girlfriend while he’s trying to get smoove sexy in the bedroom. To retaliate, Charlie gets ahold of Alans’s ventriloquist dummy and takes it hostage. Have you ever heard of such a thing?!? Now that’s situation comedy!
I won’t claim to be a quality TV expert. The only shows I make time for are Intervention, Real Housewives, Top Chef and Hardball. While I learn plenty from Chris Matthews, I haven’t gotten much wisdom from other my other reality friends–not even elegance from Countess LuAnn, my friends (watch the video below to have all your questions answered).
Conchata Ferrell expertly plays the mouthy maid
The big downfall of Two and a Half is its lack of comedy. It is every recycled joke in the book mixed with Charlie Sheen’s bowling blouses. At this point, I’m almost hoping they bring in the writers of CSI: Miami or Living Single to improve the writing.
The only upside to the show is the maid. She’s been in everything, but I never knew her name. It’s Conchata Ferrell in case you’re wondering. By the way, she’s 67 and steals every scene. In any case, she’s bawdy, ballsy, and brash. I can’t think of a woman I’d like to hang out with more, except Zoila and Rosanna on Bravo.
