Storyline

Alan and Jake hardly take note of Charlie's success on TV as singing children idol 'Charlie Waffles', but a flow of fat checks awakes fraternal envy. Yet when manager Bob 'Artie' Pliskin waves the contract to make Charlie do the one thing he fears in public, performing live, Alan supports him, only to become jealous again seeing even a drunk Charlie's partially scatological repertoire scores with his adoring audience.

User Reviews

Charlie Harper at his best.

This was a very amusing episode. Not only did it contain snappy dialog, it also features Charlie Sheen demonstrating his musical talent. The writers for this episode were wonderfully creative. The idea of a womanizer like Charlie actually performing before children works in this episode. True, the show is a sitcom and as such the story is a lot of fluff, yet this episode manages to take the essential plot to a higher and much more amusing level. The children love Charlie; his cynicism is revealed to be a defensive barrier hiding an essentially good person, someone who will be there for you and actually care. Okay, the songs a bit off-color and perhaps not totally appropriate for young children, but the kids love it! And they think Charlie is great and of they think he's great, then why should anyone disagree?
