"Great"

Berta was the rock awesome person on this episode. Just at least Alan didn't have to face Berta just for breaking up with her daughter.
I liked it because there was unexpected things that actually occured, like Berta sleeping in Charlie's bed, didn't see that one coming. It was just twists and turns so it was very great. Season 4 has liven up to it's potential, that's all I'll really say after watching more and more episodes of this season. It's not my favorite, but still hilarious and charming. My favorite was Season 3 followed by a close Season 2. Good episode anyways.moreless

This was a very funny episode that seemed to be right on par with other funny shows this season. My wife and I both agree... this show is like an updated version of The Odd Couple. It's always hysterical to see how Charlie is going to react to his brother Allan's crazy neurotic antics. This episode, in particular, was a great one! I can't believe it's taken them this long to incorporate the maid in a story like this. At my house, we are always wanting more from the maid. We thought seeing Charlie in bed with her was one of the funniest images we've seen all year!moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Evelyn: You know it's tacky to arrive empty-handed. Perhaps we should stop and get a box of wine or some aerosol cheese. Charlie: Whoa! Mom, you're on fire tonight! Evelyn: It's the new meds. They mix well with liquor. Alan: This was a bad idea. Evelyn: Charlie, didn't you tell him that's the gay ear? Edit
- Berta: Well, you let me know if you need anything. Alan: I will. Berta: Ironing, groceries, I could lance that ear for you. Alan: No, thanks. Berta: I know what I'm doing. I spent a summer castrating sheep in Montana. Edit
- Charlie: Berta's in my bed. Alan: Really? Couldn't you just pay her in cash this week? Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Charlie: (to Alan) What's going on with your ears Dumbo? This is in reference to Walt Disney's animated film Dumbo, which is about an elephant who is ridiculed because of his big ears. Edit
- Charlie tells Alan that the earring would look good if he was going to a "Wham! concert with Molly Ringwald." Back in the 80's, Jon Cryer was part of the Brat Pack and was in Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald. Edit
