Two and a Half?

It has been my belief for the past few years that most men dream of having a life like Charlie on "Two and a Half Men." Personally, I think the show is hilarious. One brother is a womanizing boozer, who write jingles for a living, and spends his spare time spleeping and sexing women. The other brother is a bumbling insecure man whose financial status sucks, and he has a smartmouth, dumb son who plays off the brother's characters beautifully.

The writing for the show is wonderful. It's smart, witty and crosses the barriers of many politically incorrect situations and comments. How often does this happen with successful TV shows?

But alas, trouble comes to the show in the form of the main character, Charlie Sheen. Personally, he can't keep from creating public scrutiny and is now stupidly criticizing those he pays him well. Okay, he makes how much money and wants to throw that all away?

I do hate the show is on the downslide because I think it has crossed so many lines and stayed alive. It's one of those politically incorrect shows that I can't help but enjoy in the privacy of my home because it makes me laugh.

What's my point? I don't really have one but then I'm talking about a show that doesn't really have a point. I hate it's been cancelled, and hopefully it'll all work out so we'll continue to be entertained. But even so, will it ever be the same?

Now, if I'm telling the truth, my favorite charcter on the show is the maid, Berta. She's bossy, sarcastic, works very little but gets free food and good pay. Sounds good to me.

Wait, I do have a point. While the characters of Charlie and Berta seem wonderful on the surface on a deeper level they aren't. What looks good isn't always as it seems, and as the old saying goes, "The grass is always greener on the other side." Maybe my side of the fence isn't so bad after all. :)
