"Two and a Half Men" (Mon., 9 p.m. EST on CBS) found an odd balance between gross-out humor and genuine emotional moments on this week's installment. It began on Walden's private jet when, in a moment of turbulence -- when he and Zoey decided that they just might die -- he blurted out that he loved her. She not only failed to return the l-word in that moment, instead declaring that she didn't want to die, but she was also reluctant to say it afterward.
This prompted the rather impulsive Walden to bring home the hot blonde in the elevator in Zoey's apartment. He'd left to confront Zoey about her feelings and an hour later was prepared to cheat on her when she didn't reciprocate to his liking. At least the established immaturity of Walden is being kept intact, even as the show is evolving into a strange series about two very different committed relationships.
While Walden and Zoey are traversing the murky waters of new love -- and she did finally reciprocate the feeling -- Alan and Lindsey are in what would seem to be a rather unpleasant relationship built on resentment and, in her case, getting drunk to be able to stand one another's company and life in general.
Only Lindsey doesn't know when to stop. The audio vomiting that occurred earlier in the episode was but a prelude to the visual eruptions that would occur later on the plane to London where Walden was flying to apologize to Zoey for the hot blonde incident. It was visually disgusting, but certainly keeping in line with the established comedy style of the series.
On a totally related note, did Jake really score with the hot blonde Walden left behind in the house, or was he just lying to boast with his friends?

The universal symbol of the playboy/girl, tacky indulgence and overblown swagger, nothing that started in a hot tub ever came to any good. The only things that thrive in them are infidelities. And verrucas.
So, the hotly anticipated, latest US import New Girl has arrived, and, judging by the very mixed reviews the show has garnered, it's caused somewhat of a Zooey-shaped stir. Reviews are divided, the twittersphere even more so. Just who is that girl?
Some blunders are unavoidable; often they are self-inflicted. One thing's for certain: 2011 provided some stunning examples of public relations disasters.
Simpler and cheaper solutions exist than the emotional confrontations that have resulted from the firing of Charlie Sheen, the threat to union jobs or the possible cancellation of the NFL season.
I am around vomit and other gross stuff in the hospital, but I thought you took the vomitting over the top. By the end of the show I wished I got a double shift and never saw that episode. Are the writers on strike or something?

Two and a Half Men used to be our favorite show -- now not only is Charlie gone, but evidently all of the good writers left with him. Last night was the worst! Not even a little bit funny -- just DUMB!

I really used to look forward to this show. It is immature, un-funny, and the writers must being phoning in the scripts at this point. John Cryer should do himself a favor and run as fast as he can from this train wreck. He really is much better than what this show has become.

When a show has to use gross out "humor" to try to be funny, you know they are really at the bottom of the barrel. Hate to say it but Charlie Sheen is right- it's time for this show to go.
