Anger Management

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.

Charlie Goodson, an anger management therapist, manages a group of patients in his home, while also coping with own personal issues.

Best Performance: Charlie Sheen / Worst Performance: Brett Butler

Best Episode: Charlie's Dad Visits / Worst Episode: Charlie Has a Threesome

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!!!

It's good to see Charlie back in good form. He's one of those actors that makes acting look easy. Maybe it's because he IS the character he plays. Every episode gets better. I look forward to watching more of Anger Management and re-runs of him in his former show.

His expressions are priceless. As long as they keep challenging his character with other personalities, the show will do well. Make fun of his character, call him down, tease him, people love it. Gawd, whatever you do, don't make him a goody goody.

Sometimes the best best actors are not those acting but those that play exactly who are the characters they portray. Like his character in his former show, Two and a Half Men portrayed, he'll always come out doing okay. Go Charlie!

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.

** out of ****

After the 10 or so reviews from F/X it might be time to get real.

The review cannot ignore Charlie Sheen, his past and his past roles. If you had any expectations prior to the show they will be greatly dismissed. Interesting enough the show is a typical sitcom with a very average cast and extremely average writing. To my astonishment the show could run on any major network, not inappropriate words, no inappropriate behavior. That can be good or bad, make up your own mind about that.

The show is explained in one sentence, Charlie is a therapist and is trying to help a group of people to get over their anger issues. While this could be hilarious but it is not.

They have caught themselves in a net of professional terms that nobody can follow and Charlie Sheen is now the one people react to, he used to be the one who reacts in short sentences towards others. He talks too fast his voice is too dark and the laugh track in the background is making no sense.

I give this 5 Stars for the many funny hours i had watching Charlie Sheen, this show is a complete failure in writing and casting. Sorry Mr Sheen, you had the lead in a show that was manufactured around you, you screwed it up, now you are stuck with this mediocre show.
