Two And A Half Men - Season 10

The tenth season of Two and a Half Men premiered on CBS on September 27, 2012,[1] and concluded on May 9, 2013.[2] This season aired on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m., following The Big Bang Theory, in the United States.[3]

On May 12, 2012, CBS renewed Two and a Half Men for a tenth season, following the announcement that CBS had closed a one-year deal with stars Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones.[4][5] Series co-creator Lee Aronsohn did not return to his position as showrunner;[6] he was replaced by executive producers Don Reo and Jim Patterson.[5] On September 6, 2012, the other series co-creator Chuck Lorre signed a deal with Warner Bros. Television to remain executive producer of Two and a Half Men.[7]

Cast members Holland Taylor and Marin Hinkle each made only one brief appearance this season, separately, although their characters were mentioned several times. Taylor had been on Broadway doing a one-woman show about Ann Richards for the majority of the show's season, while Hinkle starred in an NBC drama called Deception, which premiered on January 7, 2013, but the show was canceled on May 7, 2013. Taylor would appear in more episodes in the next season, as confirmed by show runner Jim Patterson.[8] As with Marin Hinkle for the season 9 DVD, the Complete Tenth Season DVD cover dropped Taylor's name and character from the cast list altogether.

Despite being billed and credited as a main character, Holland Taylor as Evelyn Harper only made one appearance in the tenth season premiere and was absent for rest of the season. However, she was mentioned several times. Same goes for Marin Hinkle as Judith Harper-Melnick. She made one cameo appearance at the end of "Big Episode. Someone Stole A Spoon" and only had two lines: "Cut the crap, Herb, and let's go." and "Shut up!" She was also still mentioned several times during the season. The Complete Tenth Season DVD Cover didn't include neither Taylor or Hinkle's name. Also, Conchata Ferrell as Berta only missed two episodes this season.

The reception to this season has been generally positive. Cartermatt.com said "we are finding the show to be pretty funny this year, the truth is that the summer off with Ashton Kutcher already cast gave the writers some time to come up with some interesting ideas, and it actually feels like a pretty funny show." TVFanatic gave the first episode four stars and the second episode four and a half stars. TVFanatic said that the best episodes of the season were Jake centric, they awarded the episode "Bazinga!, Thats from a TV Show!" five stars out of five. They added that they hope the show and the cast "stick around for a long time".

While still pulling in steady views, ratings for the CBS comedy remained lower than they had ever been in the shows first eight seasons, with the top-rated episode on IMDb for season 10 failing to score a 7. That said, the series still continued to make audiences laugh while Alan and Walden got more accustomed to living with one another.

Alan had been dating his girlfriend, Lyndsey, on-and-off for several seasons up to this point, and she has finally had enough, giving him an ultimatum that they needed to get married or she would move on.

Kandi was the fan-favorite, girlfriend-turned-wife of Alan's from season's 3 and 4 who had somehow managed to become a famous actress that hadn't made an appearance in nearly a decade when she resurfaced and informed Alan that she wanted to get back together. Alan is tempted, but due to his relationship with Lyndsey he ends up declining his former-wife, which turns Lyndsey on to no possible end.

On Aug. 27, the now-27-year-old performer was spotted in Los Angeles, but if you looked quickly, you might not have noticed it was him at all. Jones was sporting a full beard covering the lower half of his face, consistent with the facial hair he's been sporting in his time out of the spotlight. While he was dressed casually in a T-shirt, shorts and beanie hat, the actor was not wearing any shoes.

Ashton Kutcher joined Two and a Half Men in season nine after Charlie Sheen's famous exit and stayed through the end of the series. He played billionaire Walter Schmidt and his character purchased Charlie Harper's house following the character's death.

Charlie Sheen was one of the original "men" in Two and a Half Men, playing Charlie Harper in the first eight seasons of the CBS sitcom opposite Jon Cryer as his on-screen brother. Sheen entered drug treatment and the eighth season was cut short, and he famously clashed with executive producer Chuck Lorre in the press and social media, resulting in his dismissal from the series (and the coinage of the phrases "winning" and "tiger's blood"). His character was killed off and later played as a ghost by Kathy Bates.

After exiting Two and a Half Men, Sheen booked the TV version of Anger Management, which aired from 2012-2014 and produced 100 episodes over two seasons. Since, Sheen popped up on The Goldbergs and on the big screen was in Scary Movie 5, Machete Kills and 9/11. He came out as HIV positive in 2015.

Angus T. Jones played the "half man" in Two and a Half Men, Jake, Alan Harper's son. He became the highest paid child actor on TV at age 17, but then voiced his desire to leave the series after forging down a religious path in real life. Jones eventually left the series, but returned for the series finale in 2015.

Melanie Lynskey is best known to Two and a Half Men fans as Rose, the strange next door neighbor of the Harpers. She had a relationship with Charlie, and she later claimed he died in season nine. In the finale, it was revealed she kept him prisoner for four years.

When Angus T. Jones was only nine years old, he was cast on what would become one of the most popular sitcoms ever. He starred as Jake on Two and a Half Men (being a kid, he counted as the half) for 10 seasons. The young actor played the son of Jon Cryer's character, Alan, and the nephew of Charlie Sheen's character, Charlie.

The full-size and half-size actors of "Two and a Half Men" (Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS) -- Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones -- are very close to signing on for a tenth season, Deadline exclusively reports.

Cryer and Jones, who play father and son on the hit CBS series, had their contracts expiring at the end of Season 9 and Kutcher, who replaced Charlie Sheen at the beginning of Season 9, only signed on for one season. According to Deadline, the actors' new deals are for one-year only and could help the series get a Season 10. Kutcher, Cryer and Jones are reportedly not getting salary increases, but would receive signing bonuses (Kutcher allegedly earns slightly more than Cryer at about $700,000 per episode, while Jones receives $300,000).

Following up on her guest spot on Raising Hope earlier this year, Hilary Duff is headed over to CBS for a spot in the season finale of Two and a Half Men. The actor, best known for her starring role in Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire has dabbled in small screen work and guest appearances in recent years, with a recurring role on Gossip Girl a few years back, and an appearance as a mean girl who gets taken down a peg by Abed in Community. In Two and a Half Men, she'll play the love interest of one of the characters. Less vague spoilers ahead!

Now I hear there's a letter-writing campaign afoot to encourage CBS to bring back Two and a Half Men from its forced hiatus. Really? Nine seasons of mediocre (but bizarrely awarded) television just isn't enough?

The Bearcats got the contest within one point after Lindsey drilled a 3-point shot with 4:28 left to make it a 29-28 Warrior lead. Lander would fall behind 37-31 with 1:40 left before going on a 7-2 run to end the half, which saw five points coming from Dunn and two from Lindsey, to put Lander behind 39-38 heading to the half.

Lander shot 15-of-28 from the field in the first half along with a 6-of-15 performance from 3-point range and 2-of-4 from the free throw line. Southern Wesleyan went 13-of-25 from the field while going 4-of-9 from 3-point range and 9-of-10 from the free throw line.

After a back-and-forth beginning to the second half, the Bearcat began to gain traction after a layup from Pugh and a 3-pointer from Cooper put Lander in front 58-54 with 11:18 left in the second half.

Freshman Shadi Awad put the Bears on the scoreboard first with a goal off a free kick from junior Jack West that went to sophomore Noah Lieberman in the fourth minute. In the 18th minute, Fontbonne answered by converting a penalty kick when sophomore goalkeeper Nick Tannenbaum was issued a yellow card for tripping a Fontbonne player after a misplay by the Bears' defense. Washington U. had several chances to regain the lead in the final 10 minutes of the first half, but a shot by West hit the post and the other shots went wide.

West gave the lead back to the Bears in the 54th minute when he scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season to make it 2-1. The Bears maintained the one-goal advantage until the 83rd minute when freshman Kevin Maedomari scored his first collegiate goal off another assist by Lieberman to make it 3-1.

The Bears out-shot Fontbonne 16-7 in the match, including 10-6 in shots on goal. Tannenbaum finished with two saves while playing the first half in goal. Senior David Wang (2-1) played the second half, making three saves to earn his second win of the season. 781b155fdc
