Stars Charlie Sheen and one of the guys who was in the Hot Shots movies with him. Not really suitable for kids (ironic, considering one of the main characters is a 12 year old), and quite outrageously badmaash blokey humour. Wiki link here for an overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_and_a_Half_Men Some quotes: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369179/quotes Some favourite one-liners of mine: (Charlie Sheen admonishing his brother for letting his ex-wife fritter away his child support alimony payments): "You're like an Alzheimers patient in a wh*rehouse -- you're constantly surpised you're getting screwed, and you don't want to pay for it". "You don't get the virgin to the volcano by telling her you're gonna push her in". (Charlie explaining to his young nephew why he thinks it's sometimes okay to lie to the ladies in one's life): "A clueless woman is a happy woman". You get the idea. Very badmaash indeed. Your momma wouldn't like it, and (probably) neither would your girlfriend, unless she fancies Charlie Sheen.

I don’t know what happened to the nephew’s super-hot girlfriend after she got the FBI on her back and engaged.

The guy’s new onscreen girlfriend (fiancee ?) is even hotter.

Used to be a fanatic, watching it on dvd maybe 3/4 times a week. But haven't seen it for a while even though I've episodes in hand. I don't know what happened to the nephew's super-hot girlfriend after she got the FBI on her back and engaged. Assume she got whacked. I just can't see why women find an aggressive Latin middle-aged alpha male sooo attractive. ;) I’m Sopranoed out to be honest. Used to be a fanatic, watching it on dvd maybe 3/4 times a week.

The final half of the final series just started on E4 but I already downloaded and watched it to the end. Greatest TV show ever. Each episode is a masterpiece of writing and acting and directing.

Dodi did a lot of good work for the British film industry. He was a film producer and gave the world Chariots of Fire. For that reason alone he deserves a facebook group.
