    I have not seen such a great episode in a long time. Maybe in years. I could not stop laughing while I was watching this episode. It has everything you look for in a sitcom. It is hilarious and the story is written excellently!! I love the part where Alan's atrraction to Melissa and vice versa is so strong that they jump on each other or where Jake fights with Charlie for the affection of a beautiful woman. The writers brought A-class material for this episode and I can only hope that the following episodes will be as great as this one.moreless

    Sometimes Two and a Half Men can be a little heavy on the childish humor with consistent referencing to vaginas and masturbation but the majority of the jokes are well-timed, executed perfectly and better than anything else on television.



    This was another great episode though with Alan pulling a Charlie and sleeping with his receptionist. We also had Charlie duking it out with Jake over a girl. In the process we got the usual great awkward Alan whenever he is successful with a woman, and as always he ruins it. This storyline did seem a little bit out of character for him, but it was enjoyable nevertheless. Charlie and Jake both liking the girl was a little ridiculous, but I'd be lying if I said I did not laugh at Charlie's behavior along the way. And that is the point of a comedy, to get you to laugh.moreless

    With Alan getting some decent finally. Jack really giving it to Charlie and more past escapades of Berta being revealed, this has got to be the best episode of this awesome TV Show I have ever seen. I was laughing throughout, the live audience was cheering too at the right times, which would make perfect sense to those who like this show and watch it.



    The chemistry between Charlie and his nephew is further explored and leaves scope for is to come in the future and maybe even a spin-off, you never know.



    But, this is a series classic which keeps you hooked from the beginning to the end and leaves you asking for more. What more can one ask for from an episode of 2.5 men?



    Alan's run with his assistant could have been better, which obviously everyone hoped for. Looking forward to seeing that further in the series...moreless
