Two and a Half Men: Mr. Hose Says 'Yes' (2012)
Review of Episode 21, Season 9 of 'Two and a Half Men'
This episode, where Walden asks Alan to consider moving out, is simply a glaring example of the incoherence in writing that has become Chuck Lorre's trademark. How can one take seriously a script where, just eight episodes prior, Walden gives Alan the deed to the house, and now he is asking him to leave? This lack of continuity is not only ridiculous but also an insult to the audience's intelligence.
The decision to make this a recurring joke, just as it was with Charlie, reveals a profound lack of originality. It's almost as if Lorre is desperately trying to recreate the dynamic that worked before but is failing miserably. The essence of the series was lost when Charlie Sheen left, a decision that to this day is considered one of the worst made by Chuck Lorre. Sheen was the heart of the show, and the attempt to replace his charismatic presence with a new narrative simply did not work.
The series finale was the pinnacle of this downward spiral - absolutely ridiculous and showing no respect for the fans who followed the show for so long. Lorre once again demonstrated his egocentrism, putting himself in the spotlight in a way that few creators would dare. It is evident that Lorre has issues handling criticism and refuses to acknowledge his own mistakes.
In summary, the incoherence of "Two and a Half Men" after Charlie Sheen's departure, clearly evidenced in Episode 21 of Season 9, is a sad demonstration of what happens when a showrunner lets his ego overshadow the quality of the series. The wasted talent and missed opportunities are lamentable, making it clear that Chuck Lorre is a writer with serious self-perception issues and an inability to maintain the integrity of his own creation.

A valuable alert!
Anyone with sensitivity will love this series!
Lively, beautiful and well written. But the main thing is that the series raises issues like preconception against anyone with any kind of stigma. And the most interesting! The people who present the highest prejudice are descendants of an ethnicity for many centuries suffered.
Congratulations to David Shore and staff!
