The storyline about Walden's beard and hair was pretty funny but it also reminds me of how there seems to be a pretty widespread aversion to facial hair these days, an aversion that I find pretty silly.
The Lyndsey character has been a good character but I'm starting to feel that it's time for something new for Alan that doesn't include a woman with a short fuse and a bad fart manner. I think the point about Alan's relationships with women should be that they never last. Like with Kandi, hot and stupid and the funniest of them all, but it ended.
Overall this episode was good, not one of the better ones and not one of the worse ones.

I definitely like the haircut and shave. The old look was simply slovenly, no matter how much money Walden was supposed to have. The problem with the show is that the tension that existed between Charlie and Alan created a great foil for the brotherly love you knew would eventually surface. There's no tension in this new version and Alan is simply portrayed as a cheap, parasitic horn dog. John Cryer can do so much better. There's not enough of Berta and Jake isn't funny anymore. Both of them seem to be simply props and Chatty is a much better actress than she's given credit for with these scripts. Are the writers still on holiday or are have they just given up?

For the record, AK looks better with the haircut. Not that it will make the show any better ...

What's with the rubbing one out joke? Would any man ever conceivably say that in front of a woman? Same with the line about carpal tunnel. How low are these writers going to make Jon Cryer sink?

Dump Ashton and just do a show with Berta, Jake and Alan. Their characters with Alan's ex and her husband and kid could be made into a funny show. It doesn't need Ashton and hasn't been good except for them since this whole season started. Not getting any better either. Sad! I miss the old show.

I tuned in for this episode, just to see what I was missing (having only seen the first two of the season). I was hoping for more character development - or perhaps more *interesting* character development. Sadly, my choice to avoid this show was only confirmed. It seems a little sad and tired now, after Charlie left. I don't think it can be salvaged anymore - even in an alternate universe, where the producers fired Ashton and begged Sheen to come back, and he did. Too bad.

Sorry, the show is just no good anymore. Sure, it's about time Walden cut his hair, because he looked awful, but he still stinks as an actor. Alan and Charlie were great together, along with the original cast. It just isn't funny anymore. I'm sorry to say, it is no longer the best show on television. I've been watching to see if it would get any better, but I get more and more disappointed, everytime I watch it. I really don't care if they take it off the air at this point. I would rather watch reruns of the show, when it was Alan, Charlie and the original cast. Chuck, you screwed up what was once a great show!

You know I really felt last season before CHarle fuck everything up should of been the last show these show stop being funny 4 season ago
I keep reading how popular the show is since Charlie left. I really can't understand this. I watched the first few new eps and thought they were stupid,and childish. I'm not from the USA so although we get the series over here, there's not much information on the public's reaction to the show. Only that "it's the highest watched show and has received awards for the new season. And they've even commisioned a new season". Surely that's not true?? This shouldn't be allowed to go on.It's just not working without Charlie Sheen.

This episode was pathetic. Sure Ashton looks good with a haircut, big deal! Bringing back Charlie now would be too little too late. Alan is disgusting. His masturbation habits are not funny nor the least bit interesting. Are we supposed to believe that Lyndsey would leave her good looking, rich boyfriend so she can go back to Alan and be free to fart all she wants? Of course it would be believable if Lyndsey had developed a loving, quality relationship with Alan in prior episodes; but the last time they were together she through him out after he confessed to allowing his dog to perform oral on him...among other things. I hate what they have done to Jake's character. The show sucks.

It hasn't been easy fitting Ashton into place,and while he was finding his footing "Jake" , "Berta" and "Alan", I've listed them in order of humour,carried the story line. I may have to stop watching if you turn "Jake" into a POTHEAD, he has so much more potential, even if its a little slow to dawn on him, everyone else is already laughing at the one liners he is so quick to deliver with a deadpan face.

Because this show sucks now, the jokes are dry and the characters dont mesh well on screen. The review for this show should be written by a person who has never seen the other Two and a Half Men seasons with the original cast. That way the show can get the good reviews its been looking for by critics.

Sorry...but Two and a Half Men was Charlie Sheen! It just doesn't make the cut without him! There was a cbemistry between Charlie & Alan...just not there anymore. I no longer watch it.
Walden: Hey, what are you doing..? Alan: Just going down memory lane. This is a photo book Lyndsey gave me, oh look, here we are at the Santa Monica pier, "O...
