Trivia:
At a convention of television critics during the summer of 2005, executive producer Chuck Lorre confirmed that the show's opening tune is performed by studio musicians and not by actors Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones (who merely lip-sync the lyrics). One of the actual crooners is singer and voice-over artist Elizabeth Daily. more

THE ONLY DECENT NEW COMEDY SERIES ON TV, 19 July 2004
Author: gregorybnyc from New York City, USA

I love this show. It's funny, bright, irreverent, and like nothing else

on the tube these days. Charlie Sheen was an excellent save in

SPIN CITY, but he's perfectly cast as the lazy, womanizing single

guy who writes ad jingles for a living, and whose space is invaded

by his nerdy brother, Jonathan Cryer, and his ten-year-old son,

Angus T. Jones. While Sheen does warm up to his nephew, he's

doesn't turn all saccharine and start acting like an uncle should.

Instead, he's a wonderfully corrupting influence and the two of

them often collude against the father. I've only seen one posting

about Melanie Lynskey's brilliant turn as the female stalker who is

always looking through Charlie's deck door. It's about as funny a

regular gag as Carlton the doorman on the old Rhoda show and

Candace Bergin's endless line of incompetent secretaries. She's

adorable and makes the character both hilarious and creepy. Well

done.

Holland Taylor is perfect as the insufferable mother both sons love

to resent. Her self-involvement is hilarious. The name of the

splendid comic actress playing Sheen's housekeeper is Conchata

Ferrell, a veteran of TV sitcoms (Hotl Baltimore). It's wonderful to

see her back in action.

Favorite episode was the return of an ex-flame of Charlie's. Only

she is now a he, having had a sex-change operation. When it's

discovered that "he" has spent the night with Charlie's mom, I

could barely contain myself. I was hysterical with laughter. Then

Conchata Ferrell's bit as the housekeeper who begs Charlie,

offering him free housekeeping for a month, if she can be there to

witness his telling his mother that the he was formerly a she!

Priceless.

Wonderful cast. Wonderful, crisp writing and well-observed

situations. This one has all the hallmarks of a sitcom classic and

I hope it runs for years. I was never much of a Charlie Sheen

admirer, but he's evolved into a first-rate comic actor and he leads

this first-rate ensemble with low-key charm and expert delivery.
