Anger Management

Charlie's new show is not a masterpiece, nor is it trying to be, but it is better then Two and Half Men's current offering. I'm a huge fan of Two and a Half Men and dearly wished that Kutcher would hold the show, but it transpires that Alan's character is the only thing keeping the show remotely amusing anymore. At least with Anger Management I actually laugh more then once during an entire episode. I never watched Two and Half Men for Oscar performances or for the story line, I just wanted the show to make me laugh and that's exactly what Anger Management does. It's a shame that Sheen and Chuck parted ways like they did, they both made a loss. Some have commented that Charlie is the only one with talent in this show, I strongly disagree, Charlies dysfunctional therapy group has a couple of great actors and the supporting cast, his daughter and ex-wife are great too.

If your just after something that fills the void that the new Two and Half Men has left then you'll enjoy this show, it has plenty of good laughs, just like the good old days of Two and Half Men...'queer jar' LMFAO!!!

I never thought that Sheen could pull it of after being a complete idiot when he was fired on two and a half man (which by the way gets less funnier by the episode), but he did it again and makes himself very likable.I think it's clever that Charlie makes fun of his own issues, which makes the show so much more hilarious.The strength of a good comedian is being able to make fun of himself in the first place. The dialogues are sharp and funny. The characters are coming more alive and funnier in every episode. I hope you Americans give the show a chance, instead of criticize so quickly, because I think the show has big potential.

Anger Management is a good television series with reasonably well developed plots and a talented comedic cast. It was an enjoyable run of 100 episodes thanks to a quirky mix of characters that made it seemingly easy to come up with plot lines, as a result of the many situations you could put these people in to. This is the series that Charlie Sheen bounced back with after leaving Two and a Half Men, and his performance in the show is very strong, he still certainly has leading man qualities that make this show worthwhile.

It starts off on a high, the first season, as well as the first half of the second season, were high quality sitcom for me, but the second half completely falls flat. By around the fiftieth episode, it felt as if the writers were not trying anymore, they had signed a 90 episode deal and were just trying to cram them out as fast as they could to get it over with.

As the show goes on, we can really see every aspect of the series lose momentum. The actors are no longer as passionate, were possibly aware the show was not a ratings darling, nor was it a critical smash, but it does not need to be, there is one vital thing that makes a sitcom enjoyable, and that is watching its actors have fun, and after awhile, that is not happening, and it became tedious to finish.

Inconsistent, but a reasonably enjoyable comedy. Funny and with a terrific comedic cast, Anger Management does overstay its welcome, but it is worth the watch if you ever see it on television and are looking for something short and sweet, just do not go out of your way to see it.

I had my doubts about this series, I figured it was a "in your face" to the producers of 'Two and a Half Men', and of course I thought it would be a flop, considering how crazy and outta hand Sheen was during that time. Well, I was wrong! This show is quite well done and hilarious! The entire premise of being an Anger Management counselor for a diverse group (outstanding ensemble btw) and the jail crew, was well out together. Great comeback Mr. Sheen!

Pretty much a Two and a Half Men reprise. I had read bad reviews but decided to give it a try. I thought it was ok at best. I liked Charlie Sheen's character and the supporting cast and the plot and the humor. There were some good moments. Just don't set your bar too high and you will enjoy it.
