Charlie takes over teaching duties

[callanvass · 9/10 · 1 January 2014]

After Charlie gets lied to by Alan about getting to score with Jake's teacher, Charlie is coerced into helping Alan and Judith produce Jake's school musical. Despite that Charlie loathes children, he warms up to them when he learns that the kids know the words to his songs. Meanwhile, Judith blindsides Alan with divorce papers, forcing Charlie to be in charge of the kids. He manages to get everyone's attention with "Simon Says" type tactics, even helps Jake to cope with the divorce. This was hilarious. I had forgotten that Jake was a cute kid before he turned into an arrogant teenager. It's always enjoyable to see the softer side of Charlie. I loved the bond between he & Jake. Charlie Sheen commences a hilarious speech at the start of this episode about why he hates kids. It's pretty funny to be honest. I love kids myself, but kids do get away with a lot, and Charlie put a funny perspective on it. I felt it shed some light about how tough divorces can be on your kid. Angus T-Jones was effective with his emotions as well. If you love this show, you'll love this episode. It's that simple

When Charlie and the children become allied

[salgonjulien42 · 8/10 · 10 April 2013]

This eighth episode has nothing memorable or of really interesting at the level of its intrigue. But certain situations remain funny in particular scenes(stages) between Charlie and the children who obey each of the orders. What is lacking in the episode except for a solid intrigue it is recipes(receipts) usual that make all the charm of the series. The dialogs are good written but lack of vigor and spine. The episode rests(bases) almost completely on Charlie who in spite of his(her) attitude takes(brings) out there always very well. In summary, a good entertaining episode but which does not appear among the most hard-hitting episodes.

A fun episode

This is a fun episode from the shows first series, one that remind us how good the show was before the writers got sex obsessed and ruined it.

I thought there were some lovely moments here. From Charlie teaching the kids, to Jake's struggle about his parents divorce.

Charlie Sheen is so good in this early episodes, and actually has real scenes to play, unlike those he'd be faced with later in the shows long, long run.

I enjoyed this episode, I thought it was warm and funny, as well as boasting good performances from all involved.

It's Mapelicious

Charlie sings the Maple Loops song with Jake's class - the Twenty-five Little Pre-pubers - and is an instant hit with the kids, as they join in.
