Rules of Engagement: Sexy Money Finale Preview
May 18, 2009 by Chandra
The entertainment Internets delivered good news this past weekend for fans of CBS’ dependable midseason comedy Rules of Engagement. It seems the sitcom will almost certainly be back during the 2009–2010 season for what looks like at least 13 episodes.
Tonight (May 18), however, the series is devoted to closing its current third season with not just one, but two episodes. The first, “House Money,” airs at the special time of 8pm ET and the second, “Sexy Toy Story,” follows in Engagement’s regular time slot of 9:30pm ET.
During “House Money,” Audrey persuades Jeff to do something fun together with the profit he made from selling his car. Unfortunately, she soon regrets that grand idea after their extravagant night proves more costly than they expected.
Then, on the finale proper “Sexy Toy Story,” Jeff wonders if he and Audrey are lacking something in their relationship after Jennifer hosts a party. I’m thinking the episode’s title totally gives away the theme of that last event, as well as what Jeff probably hopes he and his wife can introduce to make their personal life more “complete.”
A sneak peek for each episode and one promo for the double broadcast follow the jump.
Two and a Half Men: ‘Baseball with Better Steroids’ Finale Preview
The sixth-season finale of CBS’ hit sitcom Two and a Half Men airs tonight (May 18) at 9pm ET, and the show itself could not be in better shape, with continuing high ratings and a three-season renewal already on its plate.
The last episode of Season Six is business as usual, too, since it features another one of those odd “Say what?!” titles, this time “Baseball with Better Steroids.” On the plus side, Canadian actress Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw flicks, CSI: NY) returns to reprise her role as Charlie’s lovely ex Mia.
During the episode, Charlie begins to reconsider his relationship with Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor) when he discovers Mia is back in town. Meanwhile, Judith goes into labor, giving viewers a prime opportunity to watch Charlie, Alan, and Herb (Ryan Stiles) bumble while rushing her to the hospital
Follow the jump to check out two sneak peeks and a promo for the last new Two and a Half Men episode until next fall. The first video features Alan running into Mia at a coffee shop and the second shows Charlie doing the same soon thereafter. If labor pains are what you want, though, the promo is the clip to watch.
