Season 6 – Some Things Change, But the Comedy Remains
The biggest story of season six would have to be the apparent evolution of Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper. It seems that Charlie maybe, finally, could be, settling on a single woman. To this point, the Malibu based bachelor has been a womanizer, and his swift, ill advised relationships have been the source of much of the show’s comedy. At the end of the sixth season, we’re left to wonder if his involvement with Chelsea will pan out or if he will fall for a former lover, Mia. Meanwhile, his brother Alan and Jake continue to live with Charlie and are up to their usual antics. Their plots aren’t as lasting or as important as Charlie’s, but their characters and stories provide a much needed balance. Frankly, after six seasons, the team behind “Two And A Half Men” are still doing an excellent job and it’s still one of the best sitcoms on TV.
Rather than re-summarize all twenty-four episodes of this season, let me point you to the episode guide on tvrage.com. This four disc set contains all of those, presented in widescreen. Image and audio quality are just fine, nothing outstanding as you would expect from just a sitcom, but certainly sufficient.
As for extra features, well, there are very few. “Two And A Half Men: Growing Up Harper” is a feature on Angus Jones, the young actor who plays Jake Harper. Another feature focuses on the reoccuring female characters of the show, including Charlie’s neighbor, housekeeper, and mother. Finally, a short gag reel is included.
All in all, this is a very straight-forward box set. Fans of the show will want to add this to their collection, but may be disappointed with the lack of many extra features. That said, it’s still a funny show and it can be had for about twenty bucks online.
