Big Girls Don't Throw Food

The show is getting weaker day by day, episode by episode.

#9.1 was just an average episode.

#9.2 was an improvement over the previous one.

#9.3 absolute failure.

Humor is missing, no strong one liners or any exceptional punches. Even though Jon Cryer is trying his best, still its not sufficient to keep up the image of the series. The show is definitely losing its charm without Charlie. I don't know what got into Chuck Lorre's mind when he replaced a character like Charlie with a dumb character Walden.

They are lowering their standards to keep up the charisma of the series but have failed instead. A boy filming his mother while she is making out with a guy, and Ashton Kutcher had to strip down in the season premier. Seriously, this is not going to work very long. I might discontinue watching it if it doesn't improve in time.

2/10 is all i can give for this stuff, and the show is gonna crash very soon.

Mr. Kutcher is not funny and his acting is plain. It was like painful to watch episode 3 and the acting like a child is everything but appealing. Either the concept of season 9 is a mess or the main character is just unable to deliver in a way that will make things interesting... In my opinion, Charlie Sheen would have done a far better job with the same lines... Ashton is not acting but just making the fact obvious that things are not far from unbearable with him and of course without Charlie. Even being naked in the previous episodes has not helped him in making him a good actor. I guess people are still watching just because of the habit of doing so... Ashton K. is no enrichment to Two and a half men, but a nuisance...

Watching this episode and reading other reviews about not being Two and a "Half" Men since Jake is not a kid anymore, it stroke to me... The "half man" is Walden... and since in previous season Jake has two girls in his room for the night, it seems to me that the writers had a weird idea to make this turn...

Watching again the opening titles, you have Jake in the position of Charlie, Alan to the right and the "half man" Walden as a replacement of the kid Jake...

As a plan on paper sounds an interesting idea to have Jake becoming "Charlie" and a grown man acting like a kid, but to reality it's not working at all...

I think everyone's problem with the new version of Two and a Half Men is just that they cannot throw out the old, and welcome the new.

I personally think, Ashton Kutcher has brought in quite a bit of color to the usual mundane, dark, cynical plot in this show. Albeit, that's what Two and a Half Men is supposed to be, still Kutcher's character is what the show really needs to spark it up further. All I'm saying is, give it a little bit more time. It will pick up.

The jokes are still funny, and Alan, Jake, Rose (though I'm not sure if she's going to be a cast regular now), Bertha are still the heart of the show. We're all just judging too quickly, and all 'Charlie Harper' fans are still bitter of his demise. In all honesty, how much more of drinking, and frolicking with one girl after another can bring in the laughs? Eventually, that'll just go to the bin too. Maybe it's a blessing that Sheen isn't in it anymore. Give Kutcher a chance, pretty sure he can sway some of the negative opinions and pick up a few more fans. I really don't want this show to be canceled. I'm a HUGE fan.

Now that the hype of Ashton Kutcher's arrival on the show has died down, the weakness of the writing and Kutcher's acting are revealed. It takes more than being naked to maintain a lead character. You have to make the character believable, and draw some kind of emotion from the audience. Kutcher's one dimensional style does not evoke any sympathy, empathy or, well anything, from this writer. I simply don't care, and I prefer the scenes where Kutcher is not present.

Even solid performances from the supporting cast, particularly Jon Cryer, Holland Taylor and Conchata Ferrell are unlikely to save this show. It wouldn't have been any better with Charlie Sheen. The show has simply run its course. If this is Chuck Lorre's way of saying "up yours" to Sheen, he has failed miserably. It's time to pull the plug on this unfunny show.
