For a change, Australia is ahead of USA in this release. I've owned this now for a little while, watched the whole season through, and watched it again. I love it as it's one of the best tv comedy shows out there. There are 24 episodes on these disks and this is the way they pan out. 1 - BACK OFF MARY POPPINS - Charlie's male support group includes lots of Hollywood celebrities like Sean Penn and Elvis Costello - but not Alan. 2 - ENJOY THOSE GARLIC BALLS - Alan is jealous that Judith has a new beau ... and delighted that he may be off the hook for alamony. 3 - A BAG FULL OF JAWEA - Teacher's Pet. Trying to be a good uncle, Charlie romances the teacher who threatened to suspend Jake. 4 - GO GET MOMMY'S BRA - What is Evelyn's bra doing in the back seat of Charlies car? The answer is ... uh...unnerving. 5 - BAD NEWS FROM THE CLINIC? - Charlies falls for a female verson of himself. And man, does she make him look miserable. 6 - THE PRICE OF HEALTHY GUMS IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE - Is Alan a Jekyll and Hyde? A childhood shoplifting story has him convinced there's a "bad Alan" inside. 7 - A KOSHER SLAUGHTERHOUSE OUT IN FONTANA - Charlie and Alan's party for Evelyn turns into an affair to remember... for al the wrong reasons. 8 - FRANKENSTEIN AND THE HORNY VILLAGERS - Confusing love and lust, Alan promptly proposes when he dates a woman who's sexually adventurous. 9 - YES, MONSIGNOR - Charlie's old flame Lisa has everything: beauty, wit, intelligence, charm ... and a brand-new baby. 10- THE SALMON UNDER MY SWEATER - Right 'toon, wrong tune. Jake hates Charlie's theme song for the TV version of his favourite comice book. 11- LAST CHANCE TO SEE THOSE TATTOOS - What a tangled worldwide web we weave.... Charlie discovers he's the subject of an unflattering website. 12- A LUNGFUL OF ALAN - A homely girl Charlie and Alan knew in high school visits - and the boys are in for a surprise. 13 - ZEJDZ Z MOICH WLOSOW (GET OFF MY HAIR) - First an earthquake, then a real disaster: With her house quake damaged, Judith moves into Charlie's beach pad. 14- THOSE BIG PINK THINGS WITH COCONUT - Aland tells Evelyn she's no longer welcome at the house. But his mother is, as always, a step ahead of him. 15- SMELL THE UMBRELLA STAND - Vegas, baby! Charlie's attempts to leave for Las Vegas keep coming up snake eyes. 16- CAN YOU EAT HUMAN FLESH WITH WOODEN TEETH? - Faced with a sudden IRS audit, Alan needs someone reliable to take care of Jake. Someone like ... Charlie? 17- WOO-HOO, A HERNIA EXAM! - Back attack. When Charlie injures his back, he refuses chiropractic help from Alan. 18- IT WAS "MAME," MOM - Charlie wants to make a good impression at a gay ad exec's party. So he asks Alan to be his 'date'. 19- A LOW GUTTURAL TONGUE-FLAPPING NOISE - Second best? Alan is attracted to a beautiful woman who once had a fling with Charlie. 20- I ALWAYS WANTED A SHAVED MONKEY - Angry at the women in their lives, Charlie and Alan do the mature thing. They turn on each other. 21- A SYMPATHETIC CROTCH TO CRY ON - The death of Evelyn's second husband Harry, affects everyone in the family differently. 22- THAT OLD HOSE BAG IS MY MOTHER - He's traded his sould for a Porsche. That's what Charlie thinks when Alan accepts a car loan from Evelyn. 23- SQUAB, SQUAB, SQUAB, SQUAB, SQUAB - Bad parenting? The guys are wracked with guilt after leaving Jake with Evelyn for an evening. 24- DOES THIS SMELL FUNNY TO YOU? -Poetic license. Jake's "How I Spent My Weekend" report differs somewhat from reality.
This show is so hilarious. Charlie Sheen does a fantastic job of delivering his lines with perfect comic timing and all the cast members are funny too. Holland Taylor as Evelyn is one of the best, and this show doesn't slow down. it's no wonder they're always nominated for awards. I can't wait to see and own the third season. I love this.Read more ›
Comedy series collectors, our prayers were finally answered: The second season of "Two and a Half Men" is coming out, more than two and a half years after its season finale airing. Hey, two and a half years? I think this number is a coincidence with the series title...maybe this was made on purpose!
In a time where TV seasons - even the least successful ones - are released on DVD within six months or less from its finales, letting "Two and a Half Men" be out of the DVD market for such a long time was, at least, an odd attitude. Even more oddly is to figure that some other countries (like England) have already this set for sale for a while.
From the 24 episodes of this second season (which occasionally still airs on CW), there is no one of them I could call a lame one. As for the 4-DVD set, we can expect the obvious: more interviews, more deleted scenes, more episode commentaries and more outtakes. Based on what I've seen in the UK version, fun is more than guaranteed with this DVD-set.
It's funny, witty, a bit sexist sometimes because it's primarily from 2 middle-aged mens' point of views. I love Charlie's charismatic yet nonchalant approach to life and how much he gets off picking on his younger, less-experienced-in-sex brother.
His brother is cool too. They're both laidback, yet his bro is by far the smarter of the two. He's divorced and overly-content with his standings. However, his wife not allowing him to move on bothers him.
All in all, 2 thumbs up!

Still the BEST comedy on television, CBS definitely has a winner!!!! But, why does Netflix have Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4? We only have 2 seasons of this comedy treasure, what has been the holdup, afraid of giving us too much of a good thing? Charlie Sheen and cast are so entertaining.
I've kept up with the series over the past few years and recently brought the dvds out and watched through the first 4 seasons (all that are available on dvd at the time of this review) again. Without a doubt, I think the second season is the best of the series. I wouldn't rate any of the seasons, including the ones I've seen on TV that aren't out on disc yet, below a 3 (or a 3 and a half if that was an option), but I think this is the only season I'd give a perfect 5. Even having seen all of these episodes three or four times, I still can't stop laughing.
If you've watched the show in syndication on CW or WGN, you've probably seen several of these episodes (the syndication tends to be the first 3 seasons at this point). I've seen other reviews where people try and list out the best episodes of this season, but it's like trying to tell someone what the best songs on a Beatles album are: by the time you're done listing, you'll have named about 90% of the episodes in the season.
The 3rd Disc of this season is perfect. Charlie tries to take Alan to Vegas to ease his brother's fears of a colonoscopy but Alan's semi - OCD gets in the way. Judith feels the need to go on vacation from her stressful life of cashing alimony checks and leaves Jake with the brothers for a full week. Charlie and Alan each mess things up in extremely hilarious ways - based on the facial expressions alone, this might be Angus T. Jones best episode as Jake. Charlie convinces Alan to pretend to be his gay partner to impress an Ad exec - and the ensuing relationship is brilliant, especially when their mom finds out. Jake loses his portable game system in the coffin of one of his grandmother's ex husbands....
I still enjoy watching new Two and a Half Men on Mondays, but nothing beats this season. The story lines aren't repetitive yet. The dialogue is still fresh. And for me, the most important thing is the characters aren't dumb downed yet. Charlie is of course still a highly functional drunk, but he's not an idiot. His one liners are still littered with interesting tidbits and cultural references. He's not the low brow idiot the writers are quickly turning him into in later seasons. Alan's awkwardness is still fresh and hilarious. And as Jake, Angus Jones is the perfect age. Like the Charlie of later seasons, the writers have decided to really dumb down Jake. As an 11 year old in season 2, Jake is just a semi-naive kid with a lot of apathy and a few cups of bad influence.
I don't regret buying all of the seasons of the series, but if I could only keep one of them, it would be season 2. If you caught on to the show late and haven't seen the old episodes yet, this is a great place to start (and by no means is season 1 bad, this is just better if you only want to spend the money on one.)Read more ›
