Season nine of Two and a Half Men marks a sea change--original star Charlie Sheen was fired for off-screen antics and was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. Fans of Sheen may be a bit slow to warm to Kutcher's character and chemistry, but viewers who give him a chance will realize that he and the rest of the cast (the amazing Jon Cryer and all-grown-up Angus T. Jones) are taking Two and a Half Men in a creative, new, and yes, funny direction. Kutcher plays Walden Schmidt, an Internet magnate who buys the beach mansion where Alan (Cryer) and Jake (Jones) have lived. The next thing you know, the three have decided to live together and form a makeshift new family of guys to give rise to comedy. Is Kutcher as talented a deadpan cynic as Charlie (Sheen)? No, but his softer weirdness helps take the cast and storylines in fresh new directions--something Two and a Half Men, after eight seasons, truly needed. Fans will not want to miss the long documentary/interview with show creator Chuck Lorre and the cast and writers about the "real story" behind the changes in the show (which necessitated the "death" of the character of Charlie). Also included is a feature on the "redesign" of the mansion set, which is a fascinating look at just how on-screen magic is created. Finally, there's a gag reel that should lay to rest any doubt that this new cast is having the time of their lives. Long live Men! --A.T. Hurley

Product Description

The ninth season of Two and a Half Men comes with big changes - and even bigger laughs! When hopelessly nerdish Alan (Jon Cryer) and his son Jake (Angus T. Jones) encounter a nagging cash-flow problem, their solution is to sell their newly inherited beach pad to internet gazillionaire Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher). Soon, the three guys bond, form a substitute family, and experience all sorts of comedic exploits that audiences come to expect from this hilarious hit comedy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it's just a bad dream? August 7, 2012

By Dr. James Gardner VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

For 8 seasons "2 ˝ Men" was one of the biggest shows on TV and garnered dozens of awards, including 4 People's Choice wins, and Emmy wins for editing, mixing, and supporting actor. Charlie Sheen was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2005 and 2006 and by the SAG in 2005 and 2010. Then the crash. Then the revival.

Is the new show as awful as some critics suggest? No, not when you compare it to the trash that passes for TV comedy these days (apologies to "Big Bang Theory" and "Two Broke Girls"). But when you look back at the previous 8 seasons, there has been a major drop in the quality of the writing and the acting.

It can't all be blamed on Ashton Kutcher, although one has to question whether or not you can take someone seriously when he continually appears naked and when so many jokes are made about the size of his penis. Really?! The "man boy" thing gets pretty tired.

Poor Jon Cryer has deteriorated not only as an actor, but his character on the show has changed to someone with no redeeming qualities. In the previous seasons he had a job, tried to relate to his son, and did his best to get along with his ex wives even though he was inept. Now he is simply a manipulative deadbeat. There's no humor there.

In past seasons lots of laughs could be counted on whenever Conchata Ferrell (the housekeeper), Holland Taylor (the mother), and Melanie Lynskey (Rose, the stalker) showed up. In Season 9 we never see Rose, rarely see the mother, and the housekeeper's character has also deteriorated greatly. She simply isn't funny anymore.

About the only good thing in Season 9 is that Angus T Jones seems to have come into his own, and his scenes are finally funny, after several seasons of blah.

What can we do?... Certainly don't buy this product which is devoid of laughs. And stop watching the show, if you do, because otherwise they will keep churning out this garbage. Unfortunately I can't recommend watching Sheen's new TV series "Anger Management". It's OK - better than "2 ˝", but not up to the old standards.

Maybe everyone can bury the hatchet, and we'll find out in Season 11 that Seasons 9 and 10 were all a bad dream, and Charlie is back. (It worked for "Dallas") Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh. bad. November 1, 2011

By Craig

This show was Charlie Sheen's stage. Without him, it's just another annoying sit-com. Watched the first two shows (I mean commercials for the Fisker Karma) and as much as I wanted it to work out, Ashton Kutcher just butchered it. I really like Angus T. Jones and Conchita Ferrell and it was just getting interesting again having Rose back in the picture. Sad to see this sit-com bite the dust, but bite the dust it did, and hard.

1.0 out of 5 stars STICK A FORK IN IT February 8, 2012

By Andrew P. Lorton

Its well done,turn off the oven.Season 8 is the REAL last season.I have nothing against Ashton but no one can replace Charlie Sheen in this role.He was actually acting out his real life pretty much.The chemistry between the actors are gone with out him too and no where near as funny.Charlies THE MAN and this would of been like taking Al Bundy out of Married with Children and replacing him.Just wouldnt of worked and either does this.
At least I got seasons 1-8 on dvd to watch over.

1.0 out of 5 stars R.I.P. - "TAAHM" November 12, 2012

By DanijelZX

Format:DVD

Where once stood a funny sitcom about single life, seduction and relationship, which was accompanied with brilliant black humor, sarcasm and funny puns,
now stand a rubbish sitcom with a stoned teen, a billionaire without brain and balls ... and Alen, antisocial than ever, accompanied with cheap fart- and penisjokes.
And if that does not work, then we show Ashton naked for the umpteenth time. Yes THIS is always funny. :/

With the 9th Season "Charlie Harper" wasn't the only one who has died.

Honestly your money is better spent if you take it, put it into a rocket and shoot it to space.

All that's left to do now is to drink, until the part of the brain that creates mental pictures of this season is dead. ;)

2.0 out of 5 stars the new show somewhat reminds me of "dumb and dumber" November 11, 2011

By alex

Although the actors are great, the new show seems to have taken a "dumb and dumber" direction.
Charlie was the reasonable man as opposed to Alan and Jake. However, the new character is clearly another dummy. The result - three dummies in the same house.
The jokes also seem to have become crass - weird that this reference to "crass" is coming from me ;-)
As in the previous seasons many [non-flattering] jokes seem to be inserted in the show and aimed at Charlie the actor, not Charlie the character.. or so my impression is..
Overall, I still watch the show because I used to like it a lot.

EDIT May 5, 2012:
I feel that the original review needs an update - I stopped watching the new episodes since mid-November 2011 even though I was recording them till the end of 2011 - I deleted them one by one after a few min of watching and skipping ahead. I was trying to "warm up" to it but failed. The new show does not agree with my taste I guess.
I still like and watch seasons with Sheen and recommend them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Charlie Sheen Cannot Be Replaced! June 25, 2012

By N. Joseph

Format:DVD

It is a damn shame this gem of a sitcom came to its bitter conclusion with the death of Charlie Harper. I am sure something could have been done to ease the tensions between Sheen and the producers so that everyone could have remained in their element. Adding Kutcher to the mix not only killed off Sheen's character, but it also killed one of the best sitcoms on American television. Kutcher is a lousy actor in just about every direction and was a bad choice for a replacement. Sheen cannot be replaced-simple as that! I have stopped watching it because it hurts too much to look at the cast that makes up the Harper family and their quirky friends degrade themselves. It is NOT FUNNY ANYMORE! The stories are scattered and the dialogue is stupid. Having Kutcher strip every now and then just for laughs is just plain vulgar. Please do buy and watch seasons 1-8 and leave well enough alone. It's best to remember this show for the brilliant comedic talent that entertained us loyal fans for eight terrific years.
