TWO AND A HALF MEN  

Emmy Award-nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN has been the Number One-rated sitcom on television for the past five seasons.  It's a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love.  More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son and the many women who surround them.  Charlie Harper is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women.  His casual Malibu lifestyle was interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan, and Alan's son, Jake, came to stay with him.  Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn; Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith, and Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta.  Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common: they both love Jake and want what's best for him.  As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.
