Ruined by Jenna Elfman

Jenna Elfman is a horrible actress. She stumbles through this and the previous episode in her trademark way - with a dumb expression on her face and lots of misplaced laughing in situations where her character shouldn't be laughing, showing that she can't differentiate between how she feels and how the character she is playing should be feeling and acting. She also did this in all of the episodes of Dharma and Greg that I had the patience to watch. And despite this and the previous episode trying to portray her as some femme fatale she is not particularly good looking.

Possibly because the episode leans so heavily on Elfman, there are fewer interactions between the main characters, which really should be the meat of this show, because it is simply best then. The jokes are also few and far between and aren't very funny (plus, Elfman does an outstanding job of ruining the ones that could be funny if done by a capable actress).

Trivia
Episode title spoken by Charlie, to Alan.

Quotes
Frankie: You're gonna get laid tonight.
Alan: [starts tearing up] I think I might cry again.

Crazy credits
As with the end of every episode, Chuck Lorre has his own Vanity Card. This episode vanity card reads in part. CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS #115 FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE A WHITE KNIGHT FOR DISNEY: Sources in Hollywood announced today that Chuck Lorre has made a friendly bid to purchase the Disney Company. His all cash offer of five million dollars (in small bills) plus a S500 Mercedes with only 34,000 miles, Braebos Rims, and a tricked-out sound system, combined with his successful track record of writing, producing, and creating hits for ABC (Roseanne, Grace Under Fire, Dharma & Greg) offers the Disney stockholders the opportunity to escape the clutches of Cable Giant Comcast. Should his offer be accepted, Lorre plans to create a major motion picture based on the "Teacup" ride and the ride with the fake hippos in the water. As far as ABC was concerned, Lorre said creating hits for Network TV is a very difficult proposition but he doubted he could do much worse than that "Are You Hot?" thing. In exchange for rescuing Disney his only demand was that he be allowed to run the company part time. His reason being he loves writing and producing Two and a Half Men. He did indicate he would like to come in on the weekends to read scripts and approve price increases at theme parks.
