Two and a Half Men

Two and a Half Men

Charlie is a successful and affluent bachelor in his early 40's who has a career writing advertisement jingles. Charlie resides in a large ocean front home in Malibu, California, and is portrayed as a chauvinistic, hedonistic womanizer. The pilot begins when his uptight brother Alan becomes divorced from his wife, loses his house to her and has to move in with his brother. Alan's somewhat overweight son Jake (10 when the series began, now 14) often stays for weekends and at other times.

Rose (Melanie Lynskey) is Charlie's zany neighbor and female stalker. We learn Rose had a one night stand with Charlie shortly before the show started and keeps entering his house through the patio in the most inopportune moments, expressing her ambition of obtaining Charlie, and often serving as a good, albeit crazy, friend and adviser. Although obviously troubled herself, Rose has stated a few times that she has a Master's degree in psychology. In various episodes it is insinuated that Rose is very slowly orchestrating a psychological plan to win Charlie back. Early in the series, she's heard to say (to herself) "Phase one, complete".

In one episode, Rose's father Harvey (Martin Sheen) asks Charlie of his intentions with his daughter after an apparent second one night stand between the two. Harvey then meets Charlie's and Alan's mother and has an affair with her, stalking her and popping in just like his daughter does. We then learn from Harvey's mother that "that's what happens when you marry a first cousin," explaining Rose's family's dementia.

Many of the episodes feature Judith misusing her alimony (before she remarried and Alan no longer had to pay her any more) and child support (she got a breast enlargement in one episode with her alimony).

Another important recurring character is Berta (Conchata Ferrell), Charlie's sarcastic and sharp-tongued housekeeper. She trades insults with Charlie and it's clear the household can't function without her. She usually tolerates Alan as long as he doesn't make excessive demands for particular food products, and often refers to him as "Zippy".

Alan and Charlie's mother, Evelyn (Holland Taylor) is a hip, wealthy, early-sixties, many-times-divorced, promiscuous, controlling mother of the brothers. Charlie and Alan attribute their life's problems to the dark manipulative force their mother manages to exert upon them even now, adding to the caustic humor of the show in the situations when depicting their vain attempts to escape her. For all of her selfishness and manipulation, Evelyn does love her kids and grandson.
