There is no doubt that opening a scene with two people in bed captures the viewers’ attection. However, opening the scene with a painfully awkward half-naked man self-handedly ruining any chance he has with a woman for the night guarantees one thing - Laughs.

Currently in its eighth season, “Two and a Half Men” delivers exactly what audiences expect from this sitcom, that is, a cheesy, heart-warming comedy. The season premiere starts out with Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) attempting to turn off his watch alarm while in bed with his son's best friend's mom, attempting to get home before his son, Jake, wakes up.

Upon arriving home, he finds his brother Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen), passed out on the stairs pant-less and completely hung-over, not exactly uncharacteristic of Charlie’s character. Simultaneously, the two brothers spot two girls sneaking out of Jake’s (Angus T. Jones) room. The rest of the show goes on to unveil how uncomfortable Alan is with his son growing up and his son finding about his father’s  useless attempt to keep his sex life a secret. Charlie, however, is solely focused on trying to piece together his night, finally discovering he was trying to send his pants off to an inspector in Malaysia in his drunken stupor.

The show’s story-line is unoriginal to say the least and the characters rarely go beyond what they are stereotyped as. However, the show is entertaining and its simplicity and bluntness is what makes the show so endearing. Even though some jokes can be spotted a mile away, laughs will undoubtedly follow the jokes. The show can definitely ease up on the cued audience laugh but overall, "Two And A Half Men" merits attention. The crude humor alone makes this show worth waiting for on Monday nights.
