TV shows that can make me laugh – really laugh – are often at the top of the list. and Two and a Half Men makes that list every time. Though the story line itself (bachelor has divorce brother and nephew come live with him post-divorce, while bachelor is out “entertaining” various women) is kinda pathetic, there’s something about it that makes me laugh.

One thing I love with this show is (bachelor) Charlie’s very unique bond with (nephew) Jake. I love that Jake easily picks up on “adult speak,” especially when it’s his Uncle Charlie doing the speaking, even though his (father/brother) Alan usually needs to have it explained to him.

And even though it’s a rather odd family, it’s clear from the way they interact that they truly care about one another.
