Two and a Half Men: Was It Good For You?

In this week’s episode of Two and a Half Men Charlie finds himself in what I choose to believe is a not-so-unique situation. During sex he finds that he can no longer bring his fiancée Chelsea to that point of no return (so to speak) and even Charlie’s lack of sensitivity can’t disregard this problem. In fact, it becomes a comical campaign for him during this episode to get their sex life back on track because quite frankly, as he admits himself, great sex is really about the only thing he brings to the relationship..

I don’t know about other viewers but I simply love the funny scenes with their maid, played by Conchata Ferrell.  She just has a knack for delivering punch lines like few can.  Fortunately for me, in this episode Charlie chose to go to her for some advice on the subject.

What he got was a direct and very funny response. “Does she complain? Can you read her mind? Then don’t worry about it,” was her advice.

The secondary theme of this episode was Alan’s taking a hair growth drug that was either invented by a monkey or it made the inventor into a monkey. Either way when the bottle has a picture of a monkey who is suppose to be a man, or a man that looks like a monkey, on it then it just can’t be good. By the end of the show Alan himself had hair growing all over him and looked like a great ape.

It turns out that Chelsea’s problem was that she found out that her ex-husband was getting married and it bothered her that he had gotten over her. This, for some reason, threw off her sexual pleasure mechanism. Charlie on the other hand told a story about him reaching that point of no return with some type of painful dart stuck in his foot… yeah, a dart of all things, but I guess you have to expect anything while having sex under a hedge in your yard.

Two and a Half Men continues to put out some great comedy and has quickly become one of my favorite television shows. I only hope that this sitcom doesn’t go the way of other great shows like Cheers or Seinfield and stop production at the peek of its greatness.
