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.

Chuck — Chuck Versus the First Date

Of course, looks can be deceiving, however, and nothing is ever so simple for poor Chuck.
