Emmanuelle Vaugnier was just killed off of CSI NY, we've not seen the last of Mia.

Loved yesterday's episode. I like that it took Evelyn in order to divide Chelsea and Melissa. Alan's dummy is annoying after a while, but aside from
that, another solid episode.

I foresee an intervention with Alan and his dummy at some point.
Good ep - especially the vagueness on whether or not Alan pays rent and Evelyn's two minute destruction of Chelsea and Mini-Blonde's friendship. Also liked that Chelsea is apparently still in the dark that Charlie's keeping her old apartment as an extra getaway. He IS a genius. |

My theory is proven once again: any ep with Holland Taylor is a good ep. Now matter how crappy the first 10 minutes might be, as soon as she shows up, bam!
Glad to see the dummy back, actually. And his ventriloquist doll. {{ba dum ba dump}} I missed the mention of the old apartment -- I thought he stayed in a hotel. Is it just me or is Jake becoming less annoying? "God made caesarians and incubators for a reason...." Really weird vanity cards for this ep, and he's now writing them in tandem with Big Bang Theory. |

yeah - he stayed in a hotel. Guess the writers forgot he had an apt to go to.
I didn't think there was anything vague about Alan not paying rent - at least in the earlier seasons it was very clear he wasn't paying. Still a must see show for me, no matter what. Holland Taylor <333 |

that wasn't the apt he was in - it was a hotel room. Notice Charlie was drinking a little bottle of alcohol that you find in a mini bar. there were
references to it being a hotel too - I beleive Alan said something about getting his own hotel room when Charlie wouldn't let him in.
gotcha on the rent thing - I didn't notice. |

Charlie asked Alan to go get some ice in the hallway ice machine, and in the meantime, he locked him out of the hotel room. But after the break, you see both
guys lying in bed and Charlie says that he finally let Alan back into the room because Alan was crying and the other people in the hotel room were complaining.

Loved this week's episode. I've always been a huge fan of Judith and Herb, so I was glad to see them back. "Ohhh
Judith! Look who mowed the front lawn."
(Overall, though, I much prefer Young Jake to Annoying Old Jake.) |

I've never liked Jake - most kids are annoying, but he's annoying ALL THE TIME.
Annie Potts was perfectly cast as Judy's mom. Can Chelsie and Charlie break up please. And bring back Rose. Where was Berta? |

"I'm gonna work weekends with mom selling real estate and she's gonna give me a piece of the action."
"Noooooo... I said having an assistant will give me some peace so I could get some action." So happy that Evelyn is back. |

Not enough Evelyn - am I the only one that wishes Charlie were engaged to ANYONE BUT that boring Chelsea chick?
....and I'm pretty sure I have to register as a pedophile. |

I loved that sex offender line and the way he so casually tossed it off. And to the officers, "I was just trying to run after a girl who escaped from my
car... oh wait."
Damn she looked great in that undies ensemble. Brings back memories of Kandi. I actually think Jake is getting better as he ages, or at least his timing is improving. He had always been there kind of as a static plot point, but now is managing to toss off some cracks of his own. My favorite moment of the ep was Charlie realizing that he & Chelsea held him responsible for them not getting along. Poor guy can't win. I wasn't so nuts about the previous dead cat ep, but then I'm a cat owner. This season is in fine form. You all might want to check out the recent vanity cards if you haven't lately -- Mr. Lorre's getting seriously dark with them. |

Another solid ep. Anytime they're able to embarrass Jake is okay in my book. Love the episode-long back-and-forth between Alan and Charlie, some great
insults and comebacks they threw at each other. Also no Chelsea (yay!) and the return of Berta, whose appearances seem to be few and far between now. She
delivered an awesome line in the kitchen.

Fantastic episode - just what this show needed, no Chelsea, embarassed Jake, Berta and the constant bickering
Loved the line in the car about peeing when Jake turned left.....Hilarious!! |

I wasn't that nuts about this ep. Charlie & Alan of course bicker, but it's allways one potshot & return of fire, then they break away.
The extended bickering seemed too artificial. Plus I thought Charlie would know that where there are tween-aged girls, there must be a divorced mommy, and would go into Charlie Waffles mode. I hope next week picks up with them waking up the kid to tell him they wuv him. |

An impassioned defense of Two & and a Half Men here, from the unlikely source of an NBC media outlet, and listing fave eps.
TV snobs are wrong about 'Two and a Half Men' An underaged Meghan Fox was on the show? {{running off to Netflix}} |
