The popular American comedy series Two and a Half Men aired on CBS from September 22, 2003, until February 19, 2015. The highly successful show, which ran for twelve seasons, was developed by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn.

Moreover, Angus T. Jones plays Jake, Alan's son, who moves in with Charlie after Alan's divorce and injects humor into Charlie's stereotypically bachelor lifestyle in the show.

Ashton Kutcher joined the cast as Walden Schmidt, a businessman who buys Charlie's home after he was killed off in season 8. Even after the big cast shift, the show continued to be well-liked and received high ratings.

The sitcom received great reviews and became a cult classic in the 2000s and 2010s because of its comedic take on relationships and families.
