Starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones, Two and a Half Men is an American television comedy series featuring the swinging-bachelor lifestyle of commercial-jingle writer named Charlie Harper and his uptight brother, Alan, and Alan's ten-year-old son, Jake. Jake. Charlie's free-wheeling life is complicated when his brother gets divorced and moves, along with his son, into Charlie's beach-front Malibu house.

The show has ranked among the Top 20 TV programmes every season since it first aired September 22, 2003. In 2011, a news article in New York Times also named it the biggest hit comedy of the past decade.

CBS and Warner Bros. have decided to end production for the rest of the 2011 season due to Sheen entering drug rehab and making disparaging comments about the show's creator and executive producer, Chuck Lorre. Sheen was fired from the show on March 7, 2011.
