Kathy Bates on Two and a Half Men

Charlie's Devil

Two And A Half Men with out Charlie Sheen seems to be a show in search of a Charlie Sheen or at least a "Charlie Harper."

The show has had its ups (Darma and Greg) and downs since Charlie Sheen left the show.

The writer's show that they write much better for Sheen than Kutcher as not even a year after Sheen's departure they bring back Charlie Harper.

Kathy Bates comes in and plays a Harper now in hell as a woman.

Both the writers and Bates excel.

Bates has the diction, speech pattern  and "Charlie" down pat. She get's an A plus plus.

The writers however get an A minus minus.

Don't get me wrong bringing back "Charlie Harper" was a great move.
However being that they brought back the character in the middle of the season instead of  making that the season premiere for next year shows how desperate CBS must be.

The other reason for the minus minus is because the writers have failed to give Ashton Kutcher's "Walden" character lines or a story half as interesting as Charlie Harper.

What happens next? we all have to stay tuned.
