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.
Multi-Season Renewals for ‘Men’ and ‘Big Bang’
March 18, 2009 by Chandra
It’s about time!
CBS has finally made good on the assumptions that have been floating around the Internets all month long and picked up Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, its Warner Bros.-produced Monday-night comedy hits, for multiple seasons.
As a result of the renewals, Two and a Half Men, currently in is sixth season, will stick around for at least three more, while sophomore geek-com The Big Bang Theory now has two additional guaranteed seasons ahead.
If you ask me, this is an excellent development. I enjoy both shows for different reasons, although they each share the trait of consistently making me laugh. What more can you ask for in a comedy?
‘How I Met Your Mother’ Goes to ‘The Hills’ Tonight
January 12, 2009 by Chandra
Fans of CBS’ Monday-night comedy lineup can rejoice right now because the two-hour block resumes tonight with all new episodes from all four sitcoms.
The gimmick casting of note is the appearance of The Hills cast members Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on How I Met Your Mother, along with additional guest stars Kendra Wilkinson, the Playboy Playmate from The Girls Next Door, and Kim Kardashian of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
CBS is billing all of the guests as reality stars, but considering the female cameos, I thought the casting was going to have something to do with a wet-dream sequence for Barney. Turns out, Marshall comes down with a case of reality-star haunts, which is much less predictable and likely funnier.
The rest of tonight’s new comedy programming follows.
The Big Bang Theory
The Killer Robot Instability
Penny’s observations about Wolowitz’s romantic life (or lack thereof probably) depress him enough to cause him to lose interest in a future fighting robot competition. Fighting robots actually sound fun. [8pm, CBS]
‘Two and a Half Men’ Spawns Warner Bros-CBS Lawsuit
December 24, 2008 by Chandra
Warner Bros. Television is hopping mad and it ain’t taking it no more from CBS, the network currently enjoying phenomenal ratings — and revenue — for its Monday-night sitcom sensation Two and a Half Men.
Yesterday, December 23, the studio filed a breach of contract lawsuit against CBS in Los Angeles County Superior Court to the tune of more than $49 million, claiming the Eye Network owes it the money due to a licensing agreement reached in 2003, when the show was getting started.
Warner swears CBS was supposed to fork over the dough after Men was renewed for its fifth and sixth seasons — its now on season #6 — and achieved predetermined ratings goals.
Two and a Half Men: 6.02 ‘Pie Hole, Herb’ Recap
October 6, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: September 29, 2008
The plot of this episode of Two and a Half Men scores extra points for simplicity.
Out of cash one day and too lazy to hoof it to an ATM, Charlie borrows some money from Alan in the amount of $38, all Alan has, although Charlie actually wanted a couple of hundred dollars. Alan is ultra uptight about Charlie paying him back, going so far as to enter Charlie’s room the next morning where Charlie is in bed with his latest conquest (the reason why he needed the money, incidentally).
When Charlie finally indicates he has no intention of ever paying Alan back, especially since Alan has been living with him for six whole years, Alan gets dirty, literally. He siphons most of the gas out of Charlie’s tank, leaving his brother to get deserted in the middle of nowhere.
Two and a Half Men: 6.01 ‘Taterhead Is Our Love Child’ Recap
September 23, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: September 22, 2008
Judging by the season premiere, it looks like Two and a Half Men shall remain the sitcom of choice of people who appreciate humor bursting with sexual innuendos and references to stuff like wiping (yeah — that kind of wiping).
The episode opens with the two and a half men at a coffee shop, where Charlie notices one of his many exes, this one from eight or nine years ago, standing on line with a boy who’s obviously her son and looks remarkably like Charlie, right down to the matching shirts.
Of course, Alan takes great delight in milking this development for all it’s worth, so he’s the one who first insists that Charlie might be the boy’s daddy. That becomes even more likely when the woman, Chrissy, walks over and introduces the boy as Chuck while noting he likes music and playing the piano.
Two and a Half Men: Sixth-Season Premiere Preview
September 22, 2008 by Chandra
Two and a Half Men opens its sixth season tonight at 9pm EST with the episode “Taterhead Is Our Love Child.”
The big question of the installment is whether or not Charlie is actually a father when he learns a previous girlfriend has a son with a striking resemblance to him. Sneak a peek at what’s in store in the following CBS preview clip.
A Taterhead for ‘Two and a Half Men’
August 20, 2008 by Chandra
I don’t know who thinks up the titles for Two and a Half Men, but they’re truly in a class by themselves when it comes to the “What?!” factor. The show’s sixth-season premiere continues the tradition with the oddly named “Taterhead Is Our Love Child.”
The Taterhead in question is the son of one of Charlie’s many, many exes, and the young boy happens to resemble Charlie. Of course, this will cause all kinds of “Who’s your daddy?”-related anxiety for the notorious womanizer, which should be fun for fans.
The episode airs on Monday, September 22, at 9pm EST, and will feature guest stars Martin Mull (Roseanne) and Rena Sofer (24).
CSI: ‘Two and a Half Men’ Crossover Episode Tonight
May 8, 2008 by Chandra
If you like the hit CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men and/or the hit CBS crime procedural CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, don’t forget that tonight is the second part of the network’s crossover stunt between the two series.
The episode of Two and a Half Men written by CSI scribes, “Fish in a Drawer,” aired on Monday, while the CSI episode penned by Two and a Half Men executive producers and writers Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn airs tonight at 9pm EST.
Called “Two and a Half Deaths,” the Vegas-based installment guest stars Married with Children veteran Katey Sagal as a diva-ish sitcom star who gets snuffed by a killer.
Other notable guests from the TV-comedy world on the episode include Constance Marie of George Lopez, Diedrich Bader of The Drew Carey Show, and Rachael Harris of Notes from the Underbelly.
I intend to record the episode, so if I have time, I’ll throw together a recap or review. Meanwhile, take a look at a few behind-the-scenes videos for the crossover gimmick after the jump.
Two and a Half Men: 5.16 ‘Look at Me, Mommy, I’m Pretty’ Recap
May 4, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: April 28, 2008
The title comes from a story that EVELYN tells COURTNEY (Guest Star Jenny McCarthy) about ALAN in the opening scene to embarrass him, which is exactly what it does. When he was a young boy, Alan apparently liked to play dress-up with his mom’s makeup and clothing, and she claims he would always run and tell her, “Look at me, mommy, I’m pretty.”
CHARLIE comes downstairs after his mother gets through with her revelation, and when she leaves the room, he isn’t too happy when Alan tells him and Courtney they mustn’t let Evelyn know they’ve been fooling around. Alan is playing wedding planner, and he’s intent not to ruin Evelyn’s fifth wedding. Charlie’s mood gets even worse when Courtney agrees with Alan because she doesn’t want to mess up the good relationship she’s finally enjoying with their mother.
At a family dinner with both families later, TEDDY (Guest Star Robert Wagner) reveals he loves Evelyn so much he doesn’t even want her to sign a prenuptial agreement. Not that it makes any difference since, as Alan and Charlie learn when they overhear her talking to Courtney, she has enough money of her own already.
Money or not, Charlie remains obsessed with Courtney because he thinks she’s a female version of him. As he sits outside her apartment that night stalking her, his own stalker, ROSE, shows up to give him a few supplies: a bottle of water, trail mix, and a pee jar. She then heads off to begin stalking Teddy after he comes out to the car to confirm that Charlie and his daughter are going to stop seeing each other so Evelyn won’t find out and think he knew but didn’t tell her.
