TWO AND A HALF MEN is
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 (Charlie Sheen) 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 is interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), and
Alan's son, Jake (Angus T. Jones), come to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and
Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn (Holland Taylor); Alan's
deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith (Marin Hinkle); Charlie's domineering,
unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta (Conchata Ferrell); and Rose
(Melanie Lynskey), a brilliantly manipulative and vaguely crazy neighbor who
had a brief fling with Charlie, is obsessed with him and is determined to stay
in his life by whatever means necessary.
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.
TWO AND A HALF MEN is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions,
Inc., and the Tannenbaum Company, in association with Warner Bros. Television
Production Inc. Chuck Lorre, Lee
Aronsohn, Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Mark Burg and Oren Koules are the
executive producers.
