Funny for adults ONLY. This show is very disgusting. Has a lot of sex, and more sex. It has drinking,gambling, cussing, sexual content,sexual inuendo, oral sex, sex jokes, degradation of women, sexual dialogue and language, etc. It is Rated TV 14, but should be on HBO, or a pay channel! If you care at all about your children, I advise you to not let children under 18 watch it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Two and a Half Men
Parents need to know that this comedy has many references to sex. One character's promiscuous behavior is played for laughs, and episodes have implied oral sex. There are jokes about "boobs" and "poop"; characters call each other names like "assface." The women in this show are often portrayed as controlling, confused, or desperate. There are also jokes about a woman questioning her sexual orientation. The nephew often engages in sarcastic exchanges with his uncle.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's Odd Couple-like arrangement. Would the show be better if it didn't rely on such clear-cut stereotypes? Why do most situation comedies rely on such predictable formulas? They could also talk about the portrayal of women here. Given the behavior and attitudes of his father and uncle, how must Jake, the young boy, view women?

"The Odd Couple" meets "Married with Children"
It's unbelievable that this mindless, sophomoric "satire" is the highest-rated comedy on TV. "Two and a Half Men" is a guilty pleasure without a doubt and it's not for kids under 15. There's strong sexual content (including Charlie's promiscuity), strong language, and bad messages, not to mention some drinking.
