Anybody else watch this American TV sitcom? I started to get into it a couple months ago and now I really like it. Stars Charlie Sheen as Charlie Harper, his brother Alan, Alan's son Jake, a bruiser of a housekeeper named Berta, and several other recurring cast members. Charlie is a drunkard jingle writer is always seems to fall into money and into bed with any woman he wants. Alan is the polar opposite, has no luck, is always striking out. Jake is pretty good in the bits he has as a smart ass kid, and Berta run the household with an iron fist.

It's funny, even though 95% of the humor is sexual (I keep wondering when they're going to run out of sex jokes or sexual situations), well written, well acted. IMO.

Just wondered if anyone else has watched it and what you thought.

I've heard of the show and I've watched a few scenes here and there during my tv channel surfing but sitcoms just dont do it for me for whatever reason. I was an absolute sitcom junkie when I was a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's but after that I stopped watching them.

I like to watch it, but Mrs Grognard hates it and despises Sheen; so I will watch something else to keep the peace.

So then, you OD'ed on sitcoms. Interesting.

I hadn't really watched this show much, but came across it channel surfing and noticed a consistent pattern of nearly nekked good looking women. That was the hook, which I bit like a carp. Watch it pretty much every day now, reruns.

OG, I understand about Sheen, I wasn't really a big fan either, but in this show I'd say he's pretty darn good.

The first few seasons were the best and I wouldn't miss it back then. They are starting to run out of jokes and Jake is all grown up now. The same producer apparently does the Big bang Theory....which is another of my favs.

I think in my case it had to do with my age. For whatever reason I gravitated more towards sitcoms when I was a kid but as an adult I only enjoy serious dramas (science fiction mostly).

Yeah that one is pretty good. I also enjoy King of Queens for a good laugh.

King of Queens isn't bad at all, I watch that now & then.

Panzer, I sense that Gillian Anderson may have played a role in your transition. mmmmmmm, redhead...
