    Two and a half men

    Two and a Half Men is a great show. It's very funny. If your kids understand sex and aren't bothered by sex jokes. Let them watch it.

    • Negative message
    • Negative role models
    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    The lighting of this show is very good. This is a very funny show about a drunk named Charlie. His brother Alan lives with him. Alan’s son Jake also lives with them. The drunk is a very funny guy who hired a house keeper named Berta. She’s pretty huge. But she’s really funny. They all do stupid things and Jake is what you would call a little dense. He’s not the brightest bulb in the box. Alan kind of puts you in the mind of a gay guy that is a momma’s boy. He is the type of guy that has very serious problems when it comes to women.

    21st Century "Odd Couple", except this is funnier!

    What's not to like? It's hilarious, it's crude, and it's just for men.

    Funny,but FILTHY! NOT for 18 or Under!!

    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.

    "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.

    Not appropriate & Anti-family

    This show is filled with sex. There is not one episode that I have seen where sex isn't being portrayed, referenced, or flaunted. It is anti-family because it teaches kids to have sex with whomever they want, marry and get divorced at a whim, and to be unfaithful to their loved ones. I think it is horrendous that this show is on during prime time and even their commericals are filled with sex-filled references!

    This is why the V-Chip was invented

    This show uses humor to promote behaviour that is dangerous to anyone who pursues this lifestyle. It rarely speaks seriously to the consequences of Charlie's actions; unwanted pregnancies, STDs including AIDS, mental health issues. There is no sign of regret in Charlie's character. The fact that a child has grown up on this show is frightening in that many will think this is a show that is appropriate for kids. Many stations are showing this program in reruns during the dinner hour. Frankly even the commercials for this show are unacceptable for kids.

    this show is great

    I'm 13 and I watch it all the time and I think it's hilarious. My mom watches it too and we don't really find it bad. It's not really for younger kids because they won't understand the humor used in the show.

    Funny.. Lots of adult humor... not for kids

    I enjoy this show and it's one of the few shows my husband and I watch together, but the kids are not arround. Charlie;s, (main character)main goal in life is to get laid by beautiful women. He's also constantly drinking. His nephew frequently visits and is dumb. These are not the messages we should be sending young people.

    Mindless comedy at its best...funny sitcom!

    If you're looking for a quick laugh on a Monday night ("uh, the workweek is starting again!"), then turn to this show. Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer blend together as The Odd Couple of today like salt blends with pepper. Be warned parents, the show is pretty explicit when it comes to drugs and sex, but there is no nudity shown EVER. The kid in the show's bizzare and random jokes add even more!
