Two and a Half Men
Two and a Half Men (2003–2015) was a sitcom originally starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. The series was about a hedonistic jingle writer, Charlie Harper, his uptight brother, Alan and Alan's mischievous son, Jake. After Alan divorces, he and Jake move into Charlie's beachfront Malibu house and complicate Charlie's freewheeling life. In 2010, Sheen's contract was terminated and his character written out of the show after it was confirmed that he would not be returning to the series. Ashton Kutcher was hired to replace him the following season as Walden Schmidt, a billionaire who buys Charlie's house after his death. In 2013, CBS renewed the series for an eleventh season after closing one-year deals with Kutcher and Cryer. Jones, who was attending college, was relegated to recurring status but did not make an appearance until the series finale. He was replaced by Jenny (Amber Tamblyn), Charlie's previously unknown daughter.
