Not in his last season. he was a wreck then.

It was the early and later parts of season 8 where the substance abuse and alcohol was taking effect. The mid part of season 8 he looked and acted almost like normal.

I'm about to start Season 8 and was wondering which episodes you can tell he is wasted. He seems a bit off towards the end of Season 7, and you can see a beer gut starting to form.

He looked good at the beginning of season 8

I saw an episode the other night where he writes a jingle called "Super Dad." It was around the time they introduce Eldridge and his mom.

I saw another episode, last night, where Allen burns his G friend's house down. Allen, Charlie, his GF's husband, Herb and the Pizza Delivery guy all hang out at the burned out shell of the house -he looks fine there

I saw the 2 part episodes where they introduce Charlie's new GF but she dumps him because she thinks he loves Rose. Rose then says she is marrying "Manny Quinn." Allen and Charlie go to the church and are fooled by Rose's fake wedding - he looks ok here. I think this was made before his second, longer meltdown.
I believe Rose's fake wedding was the last one made before he went off the rails.

I have seen the later "Manny Quinn" Episodes - and he looks like complete fried S&it.

Charlie Sheen is such a good comedic actor. Based on his work in this series, I bought the 'Anger Management' series and enjoyed it very much! He has a very funny persona and chooses tv roles well.

After Charlie Sheen left, I never watched the show after the first one with Ashton Kutcher. I thought it was boring. Charlie Sheen made that show with good supporting actors, but he was the star.

For me it was quite the opposite. I prefer watching the new episodes with Ashton because: 1. they're newer; 2. I like Walden because he is actually a good character, I'm annoyed by the banal Charlie. For how many more years could people have fun with his degrading personality which is his real life as well? It gets sad. It's a bit hard for me to laugh at things which are actual problems for many people. His lesbian daughter replaced him well. I like him in 'Anger Management' though.

His lesbian daughter, as a lot of the new characters they introduced after season 8 was a pathetic joke. The whole show sadly became a tragedy after Charlie left. Ashton is forcing his role as Walden, its not good acting at all. To bad Charlie and Chuck Lorre messed up what was one of the best sitcoms on tv. The last 4 seasons isnt even watchable imo.
We can only hope Sheen and Cryer gets togheter in a spin off, that would be great:)

Two and a half men with Charlie is the type of show i could watch a million times and still laugh at it. Charlie made the show it was his show. I thought Ashton was a bad choice to replace Charlie. I didn't think a depressed Billionaire taking over the house was the right plot. Most of the story lines were weak and not funny.They kept changing things around (Charlie lesbian Daughter,the black kid,gay story line) The show wasn't funny the concept of the show was gone
