Anger Management

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 ****

The show had decent momentum throughout the first season and during the beginning of the 2nd season when Selma Blair was still on the show but seriously lost it's way for a while after she left the show.

Yes, it's yet another show where Charlie Sheen's character is a serial womanizer and most of the other characters around him constantly make questionable choices. If you saw Two and a Half Men you know what to expect here.

Charlie's ex-wife and his daughter basically disappear part of the way through the 2nd season which was a shame. Having them around was part of what helped to tone down Charlie a little and helped give his character some much needed grounding. Once Selma Blair left the show Charlie Goodson was basically replaced by an unhinged Charlie Harper throughout the rest of the series.

If this show had been on a conventional network it probably wouldn't have made it to 50 episodes. Especially considering Charlie Sheen's off-screen antics with regards to Selma Blair. It's worth watching once now if you're a big fan of Charlie Sheen or anyone else on the show or if you need something for background noise.

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!

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.

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!
