Two And A Half Pieces Of

Here's how Two And A Half Men should have ended:

S6E11 hints that Charlie's will gives Berta his big, beautiful beach house. Why didn't they go with that? One of Berta's quotes is also, "If life were fair, I'd have my own talk show and you'd be scrubbing my toilets." That would have been a much better direction for the show. Berta would own the house, do her talk shows inside, kind of like how Charlie now does his therapy sessions in his house ("Anger Management"). Alan would be the supporting character, who cleans her house, but he would still be afraid of Berta. She would be the millionaire, not Walden. Ashton Butcher - I mean Kutcher - ruined the show; it was great until Charlie was killed off and he came in. Herb would  occasionally come in and maybe Berta could have a fling with him.  Sixteen or seventeen years pass and he makes another reappearance,  only to find that she has a daughter. And because Berta's a redhead and Herb is so tall; their daughter would HAVE to be portrayed by Laura Prepon. Hands down. Jake would come back from the army and become smitten with Berta's daughter. Chelsea and Mia would return, be informed of Charlie's death (because, oddly enough they haven't been yet), and after hearing the family's speculations that "Rose did it", they would take her to court. But, who knows? Maybe Charlie pops back into the scene. The body was, after all, burned beyond recognition...

Maybe he would walk right into the court room and interrupt the trial. Rose could say "Damn" and it would break for commercial. Or whatever. Anything's better than this; which, for some reason, they think is good enough to continue. Are they even still getting viewers? Because they ruined it. They could have done so much more; they have amazing potential, as we see in each episode of The Big Bang Theory...But it's too late now. Charlie's dead, he has a daughter who is way too much like Charlie for the show to gain back some pride; and Conchata Ferrell is, well, seventy. Much as I adore Berta, this show has gone down the crapper since dear Charlie died. Berta could have been the backbone to straighten it all out; she's the only respectable character left. However if they brought in Mia or Chelsea again, it might be 2% better. But that's still asking a lot for this show these days.

Lorre, Prady; TBBT is wonderful. Two And A Half Men is not. Focus on TBBT. And for the love of God, keep everyone alive, please. Especially Shamy. What a perfect pairing. And Bernadette! She's so cute, and has layers to her which surprise me with each new episode. Bernadette, Sheldon and Amy are three of the best television characters!
