I HAD SOME HOPE THAT THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD SHOW BUT GIVE ME A BREAK--JUST PLAIN DUMB -THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE FOR 40+DIVORCED MOMS THAN WHAT THIS SHOW PORTRAYS. DUMB,DUMB,DUMB. AND I AM NO PRUDE. LOVE TWO AND ONE HALF MEN.

While this comedy is not suitable for kids under the age of 15 -16, for adults, and especially divorced parents, there are some positive messages here. Christine admittedly drinks too much, is promiscuous, and seems to be prejudiced against everyone (equally!); however, this divorced couple has figured out how to work well together to raise their son. Dad's steady relationship with "new" Christine is dealt with straight forward, and "old" Christine's attempts to find love and happiness are character studies in what works and what doesn't - in both cases.
