Season 7 opens with Chelsea encouraging Charlie to help his ex-fiancé Mia launch her music career; Charlie's fiancée, Chelsea, convincing him to let Melissa, Alan's girlfriend, move in, then the girls take over the house.
A strange season really. Beginning with great purpose, but fizzling out towards the end storywise, the bedrock of laughs is nevertheless still there, and Two and a Half Men continues to be one of the best conventional sitcoms on television.
The characters, storylines and shenanigans are just as infantile and immature as they were in the first season. What works in this show is that while many shows fall into caricature, this series thrives on it.
All I have to say is: the older Charlie Sheen gets, the more often I catch myself thinking, "Why is President Bartlet arguing with that hot chick in bed?"
