Description
Charlie is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Jaguar in the front, and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle is interrupted when his tightly wound brother Alan, who's facing a divorce, and his son Jake, come to live with him. Together, these two and a half men confront the challenges of growing up; finally. Complicating matters are the brothers' self-obsessed, controlling mother, Evelyn, Alan's estranged wife, Judith and Charlie's crazy neighbor Rose, who wants to be a part of his life and is willing to do anything to be around. After the death of his brother, Alan Harper meets and befriends a lonely young man named Walden Schmidt who turns out to be a billionaire. Unable to afford his brother's home, Alan sells Walden the house, and as a way of showing his gratitude, Walden allows Alan and his son Jake to move in with him.

Я знаю, многие из вас разочаровались, не увидев Чарли Шина в финале. Мы предложили ему роль в записи последнего эпизода. Наша идея состояла в том, чтобы, подойдя к входной двери, в последней сцене и позвонив в дверь, он, произнеся в кадре с крупным планом пафосный (громкий) текст о вреде наркомании. Затем он мог бы объяснить, что это относится только к посредственным людям, а он не такой. Он не посредственность. Он ниндзя с Марса. Он непобедим.
И вот тут на него падает рояль.
Мы думали, что это было бы смешно.
Но он отказался.
Вместо этого, он хотел, чтобы мы написали слащавую сцену, которая вернула бы его в прайм-тайм на телевидении в новой комедии под названием Харперы, где в главных ролях он и Джон Крайер.
Нам его предложение тоже показалось смешным.

I know a lot of you might be disappointed that you didn’t get to see Charlie Sheen in tonight’s finale. For the record, he was offered a role. Our idea was to have him walk up to the front door in the last scene, ring the doorbell, then turn, look directly into the camera and go off on a maniacal rant about the dangers of drug abuse. He would then explain that these dangers only applied to average people. That he was far from average. He was a ninja warrior from Mars. He was invincible.
And then we would drop a piano on him.
We thought it was funny.
He didn’t.
Instead, he wanted us to write a heart-warming scene that would set up his return to primetime TV in a new sitcom called The Harpers starring him and Jon Cryer.
We thought that was funny too.
