Two and a Half Men 好漢兩個半
Two and a Half Men is a seven-season long comedy series. At the time of writing, 162 episodes have been created and have been -- or are going to be -- aired. This program focuses on two brothers, one of whom, "Charlie" (Charlie Sheen), is rich and owns a big house, while the other, "Alan" (Jon Cryer), is having to live in his brother's big Malibu house. Alan also has a son, "Jake" (Angus T. Jones) who comes to visit the brothers on weekends. Seasons 8 and 9 have been confirmed, meaning the show will last until 2012 at least.
Lorre's most recent show is The Big Bang Theory, which follows two young male academics living next door to an attractive young woman. Each episode usually focuses on the daily lives of the men and two of their friends, with a dose of absurdity from the relationship with their normal neighbor. The show is known for its ability to relate an obscure scientific theory with a common every-day occurrence, while at the same time illustrating the vast differences between the nerds and the girl. The two protagonists, Sheldon and Leonard, are named for the famous actor and television producerSheldon Leonard.
Show crossoversOn The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon, Leonard and Penny are seen watching Oshikuru: Demon Samurai. Oshikuru was the show Charlie wrote the theme song for onTwo and a Half Men. However, the placement of Big Bang in relation to Two and a Half Men is muddied by the appearance of Charlie Sheen, seemingly as himself, in the Big Bang episode "The Griffin Equivalency".
Also a few of the actors from Roseanne (Lorre helped to write for a few seasons in the early 1990's) have appeared throughout the three seasons. Laurie Metcalf, who played Jackie in Roseanne played Sheldon's mother Mary and Sara Gilbert played Darlene on Roseanne and Leslie Winkle in Big Bang Theory.Johnny Galecki, Leonard on The Big Bang Theory, was David on Roseanne - who was Darlene's boyfriend (and later husband).
