Holy shit it was misogynist as fuck and damn Charlie was a horrible person.
That it was so popular says a lot about :society:
how about a reboot set in late imperial Russia called Two and a Half Mensheviks
Chuck Lorre and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race
He wrote the Ninja Turtles theme song. Make of that what you will
And then Sheen got back on drugs, got fired, and became a public train wreck for a bit. Simpler times.
The disaster actor par excellence, but it's his own life and he burns for our entertainment. :dumpster-fire:
No, I'm imagining him being just a collective figment of all our imaginations. Like, one day, we'll see a news story that Charlie Sheen is missing, without a trace. Investigators have looked for any paper trail, and not only are they not finding anything, they see no evidence he ever actually existed. People will then rewatch Two and a Half Men and then see that the whole show was just Jon Cryer talking to nobody until Ashton Kutcher showed up.
Sure, but Bertha slaps.
Based housekeeper barely working and squeezing money out of Charlie.
Malcolm in the Middle is the only good sitcom but Everybody Hates Chris was pretty alright
First 2 seasons of 2 broke girls was good. It was just a sublimation of retail ID. Like...what if I told customers what I actually felt? As soon as the characters became Small Business Owners themselves it obvs. went to shit.
God MitM was so good. Watching it again as an adult though, I find that I empathize so much more with Hal and Lois.
Those kids were a god damn menace.
You know, Charlie Sheen was the highest paying actor in Hollywood at the time, and seeing Two and Half Men after his replacement by Ashton Kutcher makes you realize he earned every single penny.
My mom loved the Big Bang Theory, because she said it reminded her of my brother and me. I'm not sure how I should feel about that.
Hahaha. I never liked it despite being a studious nerd in school and college. Highly misogynistic and full of stereotypes.
I didn't really watch Two and a Half men but as someone who is an apologist for Married with Children and Al Bundy....the thing about that character is that the show not only frames him as being flawed, misogynistic, and terrible: it actively and very sadistically *punishes * him for it. In fact the tragedy of Al Bundy is that he and his toxicity are almost always the instigators of his suffering on the show...which is why you sometimes can't help but find yourself rooting for him. Hoping maybe he'll grow as a person.
...I don't get the impression that's how Charlie's characterization is approached.
