List of episodes

The eighth season of Two and a Half Men premiered on CBS on September 20, 2010, and ended on February 14, 2011. The season was the last season with Charlie Sheen as its main star, who was replaced by Ashton Kutcher in the following season. Being composed of 16 episodes, the season was the shortest season of the series up to that time, although season 12 would later have the same number of half-hour episodes.

As of December 22, 2010, Two and a Half Men is ranked at number 10 on the 10 most watched TV programs of 2010.[1]

Production

[edit]

Many reports of Sheen partying in Las Vegas, going on alcoholic binges, and dating pornstars had been over the Internet from the beginning of January 2011 and CBS had expressed its concern. Early in the morning of January 27, Sheen was rushed to hospital suffering from severe abdominal pains after holding a party at his house in which he allegedly smoked crack cocaine. After being released from the hospital, Sheen checked himself into rehab, causing the show to be put on hiatus,[2] with production scheduled to resume on February 28. The season was originally ordered for 24 episodes, but due to Sheen entering rehab, the episode count was cut to 20.[3] On February 24, 2011, it was announced that the show would shut down production for the rest of the season and cancel the remaining four episodes,[4] due to Sheen making offensive comments about Chuck Lorre, the creator and lead writer of Two and a Half Men, on the February 24 edition of a radio broadcast hosted by Alex Jones.[5] On March 7, 2011, Sheen was fired from the show.[6] After much speculation over whether Sheen would return to the series after all, Lorre announced in April 2011 that he had new plans to reboot Two and a Half Men with Jon Cryer in a lead role alongside a new character. Ashton Kutcher was later hired to portray the new character, Walden Schmidt.

Alan discovers that a fellow chiropractor's business is doing extremely well. Seeing as how they started their businesses at the same time and under similar circumstances, Alan determines the reason his business is failing and the other is booming is because of advertising. Alan decides to buy advertising space for all different kinds of media, and asks Charlie for a loan of $5,000 with which to buy the ad space. Charlie hands it over with no questions asked, and Alan, seeing how easy it was, decides to ask his mother for money, too. Evelyn gives $10,000, and Alan realizes that he has come up with a brilliant plan. He offers to let Herb in on a great "business deal," and Herb gives Alan $15,000. Alan pays Charlie back his initial investment of $5,000 plus 20% interest, and Charlie decides to give Alan back all $6,000 plus more, hoping even more interest will be generated by leaving the money in Alan's "advertising fund" longer. Doing the same with Evelyn, Herb, Berta, and even Judith, Alan begins to feel guilty, until he has a conversation with his reflection in the mirror and decides he should take advantage of his good fortune; sort of a reward after years of being stepped on.
