‘Two and a Half Men’ season 10, episode 13 review: Walden, Kate, and singing
For just about any show that lasts longer than six seasons, it is almost inevitable that you are going to see some sort of musical episode at some point in time. After all, it is inevitable that you are going to run out of ideas eventually, and music gives viewers something to talk about.
When it comes to “Two and a Half Men,” they actually do have a little bit going for them at the moment. The story with Walden and Kate has to us been this point interesting, but Walden decided that he needed to break the truth to his girlfriend about who he really was this week by flying out to New York City. This moment had to happen eventually, especially since we imagined that Brooke D’Orsay would have to eventually take off to her regular job over “Royal Pains.” She didn’t really have any interest at first in being with the guy after some of what he did to her, even if his intentions were right.
Then … came the singing. We’re sure that some people probably hated it, but seeing Walden’s reaction to getting dumped via song was at least something different than we have seen before. Plus, it was nice to see the show move its setting to the land of musicals in New York, even if it was for just a few minutes.
The show also came up with a clever way to end the Kate storyline for now: they did not close the door on it by any means, but had Kate remain in New York to pursue her dreams (all thanks to him). Considering that she was one of the few genuinely nice women we’ve seen on the show, we’re really rooting for her and Walden to get together at the end of the day more than anyone else. However, we’d be surprised if we saw much more of her save for an appearance or two this season.
Be as cynical as you want about the show being less funny without Charlie Sheen, but we appreciated the effort that was put into this. What did you think? If you want to watch some more videos from this episode, all you have to do is head on over to the link here.

The most recent episode with the “Broadway-style musical number” looked like a swan song to me. I wanted to stick with the series after the departure of “Charlie” because I thought the writers were so good they wouldn’t let the other characters down. It’s an adult comedy but this episode was in such poor taste it would be best to bring the curtain down while the actors still have a chance of finding other work.

still watching it as a write this… wow… dreadfully unfunny… that musical number while silly and stupid which i dont mind… was too long and dull… i found the gay thing pretty horrible… the effeminate gay guy carrying a tiny fluffy dog… the show relies on bad old stereotypes and bad taste now,… before there was some charm to it all… not anymore… and alan has changed… i dont mind that much but walden and his story is so dull…

Unquestionably, one of the most tasteless airings ever on commercial television. Chuck Lorre smiles as this garbage is welcomed into American homes. The previews presented an entertaining premise but as the show “wore” on I realized history was being made, for all the wrong reasons.

You people are too stupid to breathe. It was a freaking horrible episode. Chuck lorre and crew are clearly only trying to make this cash cow last a bit longer … regardless of how crappy it is

You have got to be kidding me. This was the WORST musical of all time, and a complete indictment of how dumbed down American society and television have become. For shame, for producing such mind-numbing stupidity in the name of the almighty dollar. Soulless waste! The real ‘big fizzy douches’ are all those associated with this show that should be pulled from the air if this is representative of the product moving forward. The old cast was charming and the show was intelligently produced…the new formula…we’re going to try and make the show more popular by appealing to the lowest common denominator. The producers should be embarrassed.
