Does anyone actually like this show? It's ubiquitous on a local station here, they just showed four episodes in one day last week. But I don't get the appeal of it at all. Charlie Sheen's frozen puss never becomes animated or interesting (though sometimes his eyes get bigger) and Jon Cryer is whiny and nerdy without ever actually being funny.
Dean and Jerry they're not (nor are they Oscar and Felix, though the show sometimes does lame ripoffs of Odd Couple plotlines). Sometimes they try to invoke Rock and Tony, but that doesn't work either.
The humor is always smarmy. Sheen's character is immature and despicable in his treatment of women. Jon's character and the show's story arcs never try to redeem him or teach him; instead the whole show seems to be a justification for his behavior.
Even the sets and costumes are drab and boring.
Any defenders of this show's appeal (or fellow trouncers)?
