Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 6-16



















5 second plot:
Ep 6: Louis manipulates Alan into doing everything he wants. Walden is not amused, but Alan's so happy to finally be the cool dad.
Ep 7: While looking for friends for Louis, the guys meet three beautiful moms. It's getting more and more difficult for them to act being a gay married couple.
Ep 8: It's Christmas and the guys want it to be perfect for Louis.
Ep 9: Walden wants to meet up with Laurel again. But it's not easy to take it to the next level because the kids are always doing something that requires their immediate attention.
Ep 10: Ms. McMartin finds out that Alan and Walden lied to her to get Louis.
Ep 11: Walden joins a support group to learn more about parenting.
Ep 12: Alan cheats on Ms McMartin with Lindsay.
Ep 13: Now Walden is with Ms McMartin.
Ep 14: Walden grants Alan one wish. He wishes a Ferrari at first, but then changes it to an engagement ring for Lindsey.
Ep 15-16: Charlie is still alive. And he's out for revenge. He wants Alan and Walden dead

5 second review: There is a lot of awkward cheap sex talk. And a lot of hilarious jokes. And a lot of beautiful women in swim suits or spandexes. And a lot of jokes that missed their mark big time. But all things considered, they seem to have had great fun makes these last episodes. So did I watching them. I honestly don't understand the Charlie thing though. We were all long over him. But someone apparently wasn't.

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 5: Oontz, Oontz, Oontz



















5 second review: The pretty (single) social worker asks the guys if they would be interested in adopting a 6 year old boy named Louis. Walden gets really excited and buys half the toy store. The kid doesn't open up immediately. But then he finds a soul-mate in Berta.

5 second review: Well, it's official. Jake's out. He even gets a (hilarious) best of goodbye sequence. It's a good call to go for a cute 6-year-old. That way they fast forward to the funnier years. Because Alan and Walden with a baby would have been too much slapstick and too little smart ass.

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 4: Thirty-Eight, Sixty-Two, Thirty-Eight
















5 second plot: Walden makes the house safe for children. The guys meet a pregnant woman who wants them to adopt her soon to be born baby. While having a celebration party they get a call that their baby is on his way. He's a really cute little fella. But there's a tiny problem.

5 second review: The bromance doesn't really work. It's just not funny. I think it's because Alan is really gay. He has been since season 1. I was always wondering when he was going to come out of the closet. And a bromance like this is only funny with two really straight guys.

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 3: Glamping in a Yurt



















5 second plot: Walden and Alan have to convince a (very beautiful) social worker that they are a happily married couple. To prepare themselves they try to get comfortable with physical affection. Lindsay just got out of rehab. And she wants to give it another try.

5 second review: The writers really love the sex talk. I don't know where they keep getting the jokes. Alan is going to realize he's gay for real soon. Why didn't they call this episode 'Charlie Sheen doesn't live here anymore'? You can't miss an opportunity like that.

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 2: A Chic Bar in Ibiza



















5 second plot: Alan en Walden want to get married so that Walden can adopt a kid. They almost immediately start quibbling like a married couple. Starting off with a fight over the prenup.

5 second review: Well, it's official. They decided to take the path of the bromance. I hope I don't get sick of the jokes surrounding that decision too quickly. This episode's still okay so I'll keep my hopes up.

IMDb score: 6,6/10

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 1: The Ol' Mexican Spinach



















5 second plot: It's Halloween. Alan and Walden are all dressed up. And then Walden has a heart attack. It's a small one, but it makes him think about his life. And how he really wants a kid. So he immediately tries to adopt one. He will have a better chance if he's married. That gets him thinking.

5 second review: Are they looking for a replacement for Jake? That's what this is probably. Good. They were on a roll when the beautiful women showed up on the doorstep. Please don't let it be all about Alan and Walden's weird mano a mano relationship this season.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 22: Oh, Wald-e, Good Times Ahead



















5 second plot: Larry finds out Jeff is Alan. He gets angry. He forgives Alan, but calls off the wedding with Lindsey. Alan asks Gretchen to marry him. They move it along quickly because the wedding takes place in this episode. Only, they don't get to the part where they say 'I do'.

5 second review: Lindsey flipping out is not very funny. The episode is a bit too much of everything. And boring. But at least we get an update on why the show is called Two and a Half Men. Does this mean Jake is out for good? The real one, that is.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 21: Dial 1-900-Mix-A-Lot



















5 second plot: Barry, Walden and Jenny fly to Colorado to look for Walden's first car. The fact that pot is legal there, has got nothing to do with it. Gretchen wants Alan to come clean about who he really is to her brother. But Lindsey doesn't like the idea.

5 second review: An episode where they talk about zombie-werewolves must be really fun right? Yes, it is. The gang is out of the house and into the big world. And that other environment sparks it up. And I just love Barry.

IMDb score: 6,7/10

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 20: Lotta Delis in Little Armenia
















5 second plot: Walden gets a prescription from his shrink to have lots of meaningless sex. Alan is trying to start up his chiropractor business again, this time 'by the sea'. Both the guys 'businesses' come together quite nicely when Walden starts having sex with Alan's clients.

5 second review: I see what they are doing: let's try some of that old Charlie stuff and have Walden sleep with a lot of pretty women. It kinda felt awkward, like Mila Kunis was on the set watching him seduce other women. And the pimping thing was a bit too far. A big bit.

IMDb score: 8,3/10

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 19: Daddy's Got a Healthy Flavor Stick
















5 second plot: Walden wants to ask Kate to marry him. But then a beautiful stranger pops up and Walden feels like this could be his soul-mate. Gretchen finds out that Jeff Strongman is actually Alan Harper. There is also a lot of nut-kicking and Charlie's ashes go flying around the house again.

5 second review: Mila Kunis showing up? A That 70's Show reference? A couple of movie references? Am I in heaven?

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 18: West Side Story
















5 second plot: Kate is back in town and she wants to meet up with Walden. They both eat something called Squid Surprise and get really sick. Gretchen and Alan seem to be a perfect match. But now she wants to see his place. Alan has to create new lies constantly to keep the old lies afloat. The fact that Alan gets on so well with Gretchen drives Lindsey crazy.

5 second review: The word games are off the chart again. They are really silly but if you keep it going long enough it gets laugh out loud funny. 'You can't let her blow it' anyone? Alan going into Barry's place totally unprepared ('I have a cat?') is simply asking for classic comedy.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 17: Welcome Home, Jake



















5 second plot: Barry is making himself feel perfectly at home at Walden's place. Walden isn't sure he's ever going to get rid of him. His house is getting crowded. Jef Strongman (aka Alan) gets serious with Larry's sister. And apparently Larry is okay with that. Lindsey not really.

5 second review: Barry cracked me up. He is magnificent. And the interaction with the old timers is amazing. He's a perfect addition to the cast. And it's beautiful what they did with the title there. Where is that little fucker anyway? One other question though: can they please have Alan put on some other underwear? It's starting to freak me out.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 16: How to Get Rid of Alan Harper





















5 second plot: Jeff Strongman (aka Alan) gets to be Larry's best man. Lindsey is not too happy with that. Jeff also starts dating Larry's sister, who is a copy of Alan 'with boobs and a vagina'. Walden thinks his girlfriend is cheating on him.

5 second review: I kind of like all the new characters. They freshen up the place. Walden is still pretty fresh but Alan is starting to become somewhat of a drag. But hey, he's always been a part of the deal. And if you look at the whole package, it's still a sweet one.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 15: Cab Fare and a Bottle of Penicillin

















5 second plot: Alan proposes to Lindsey although she already said 'yes' to Larry's proposal. She rejects him and somehow Alan ends up at his ex-wife's house, gets seriously drunk and proposes to her too. And Jenny thinks her girlfriend is going to dump her.

5 second review: Alan is growing into a really nasty old guy, isn't he? There are a whole bunch of stupid sex references, but I still laughed out loud. If it feels like the crew of a TV show is having a lot of fun making it, I seem to have to laugh with everything, even if it's seriously stupid.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 14: Three Fingers of Creme de Menthe

















5 second plot: Alan finds out Lindsey broke up with Larry. But Lindsey only wants to get back together with him if he marries her. Walden tries to prove to everyone that he's a real manly man. Two guesses how that's going to work out for him.

5 second review: Alan makes some weird sex jokes again. It never seems to be funny coming from his mouth. Walden is hilarious trying to be a real man. And what's up with Jenny's girlfriend. Bouyah.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 13: Bite Me, Supreme Court

















5 second plot: Marty (the old geezer) asks Evelyn to marry him. But then changes his mind after he gets a lap dance at his bachelor party. But luckily changes his mind again. And somewhere along the line, Alan and Walden decide to get married as well.

5 second review: These old guys are absolutely not funny. I think they let them write their own jokes. And they suck.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 12: Baseball. Boobs. Boobs. Baseball.
















5 second plot: Walden is drawn to the girl that fired him in the previous episode. And she seems to be having the hots for him too. But work has to come first. Meanwhile Alan gets himself a date through Lindsey's new man. He ends up at a swingers party.

5 second review: This is a hilarious episode. Alan pretending to be Ted, and the guy calling his name with the free popcorn? Beautiful. The dialogue is just spot on perfect. Comedy classic, this one. But I keep wondering: where is the half-ling from the show's title?

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 11: Tazed in the Lady Nuts



















5 second plot: Walden goes to work for someone he fired from his own company. She seems to have a billion dollar idea. Alan goes hiking in the woods and gets a tick on his nuts. And Jenny gets serious with a girl but doesn't know how to open up.

5 second review: Walden taking orders from someone? He's got a gazillion dollars. Why would he do that? Alan talking about his private parts (and showing it) is sometimes a bit weird. Jenny is the funny one in this episode. It's about time they gave her something funny to say.

Two and a Half Men Season 11 Episode 1-10



















5 second plot: Charlie's daughter Jenny shows up and checks into the guest room. Lindsey takes Alan back as her lover on the side. And Walden gets his scrotum waxed to make sure Jenny gets a second date with a girl she liked.

5 second review: This season starts off really unfunny. At one point Walden even fires Berta. This show can only be about relaxed and fun stuff, that's the rule. But thankfully the smart, funny and relaxed tone picks up after episode 4. I'm not too fond of Jenny, but she does bring home a lot of very interesting women.

Two and a Half Men Season 10


















5 second plot: Jake is a cook in the army; they try to keep him away from guns. Walden meets and loses a lot of woman. Alan is with Lindsey through most of the season but she dumps him at the end.

5 second review: They try to keep this show as fresh as possible. And it is working. They introduce a lot of great side characters that give the show new mojo. The jokes are still amazing, you kind of wonder where they keep getting the stuff. The running joke about kicking Alan out of the house is getting a bit old though.
