. Review: Item was pristine and in original packaging - The "item" was great. (The show? The earlier seasons were best when "Evelyn", "Young" 'Jake' , and "Berta" interacted.) Review: Beat the Streaming Services - Two And A Half Men has been one of my top favorite comedy series for quite a while. The writing is top notch, the main cast is excellent, and the recurring characters and guests are unfailingly brilliant. If you're browsing this product, I expect you already know this and agree. The show has been hard to find on the streaming services at times, and I was getting tired of watching it out of sequence sometimes, and interrupted by commercials. I thought I'd found a good way to watch when it was recommended on one of the free services, but after I'd signed up I learned that to see this show I would have to agree to a paid version of the service. (That's Peacock, if you're curious.) Very annoying. I found the complete series boxed set here on desertcart. It seemed a bit pricey at over $100, and the set includes the less popular episodes, after Ashton Kutcher joined the cast, replacing the intemperate Charlie Sheen, whose off-screen antics made his Charlie Harper's character's look tame. Regardless, a less than first-rate episode of this series still beats most of the other comedies which make it on the air. Twelve seasons for $120 ain't that bad. I was a little uncertain, having seen other reviews which said the condition of the packaging and the discs was unsatisfactory when they reached the buyer. Noting that there was about a one-month window of time to return the set if there were problems, I placed the order. The order was delivered in five days, not two day Prime, but not a problem. The packaging was in excellent shape, the set shrink wrapped, the discs all pristine, so far (I'm midway through Season Four), and have played perfectly. I have been enjoying watching the whole series in order. I've been reminded how this show has been on the money from Episode 1, not needing to find its bearings like some other series. I like how watching on DVD gives so many options for playback which are not available with streaming, such as choosing image ratio, or watching with frame-by-frame advance, which is especially great for watching some of the beautifully executed slapstick bits. Another favorite thing is being able to read creator Chuck Lorre's vanity cards at the end of episodes, which are consistently very funny, sometimes enlightening about the episode, and usually cut off by the streaming services, as they try to hold the audience by segueing into the next episode. The set also includes extras, such as blooper reels (often as entertaining as the shows themselves) as well as clever special content featuring the stars, writers, and other production crew. Clearly, I'm pleased to have spent the money on the set. It's nice to have, as there could come a time when none of the streamers are offering the show, and these DVD sets might no longer be available. That, and the satisfaction of beating the streaming services.

What is there to say about this, it is Two and a Half Men
When we camp we do not get reception on our tv very often. I put in a dvd player and purchased this set of the entire Two and a Half Men series. This is great! We might only watch one or two episodes per day as we spend most of our time outside, but we love being able to watch a funny show or two while getting ready for bed. This will keep us entertained for many long trips. There are so many episodes and the price is fantastic. Happened to purchase during Prime Days. This would make a great gift for anyone that has a DVD still. They might not be easy to find, but they are still useful to many of us. Two an a Half Men makes us laugh and who doesn't like a good laugh?

Great series. Always funny. No commercials!
Charlie is a smash with this show! His acting is hysterical. John Cryer also does a great job and carries his weight.

An all time favorite. This covers all 12 seasons. However, seasons 1-8, which had Charlie Sheen in it, are a level up from the following ones, where Charlie Sheen was replaced by Ashton Kutcher (who was all but comical). The extra bulk of 4 DVD sets is tolerable, considering that this is only slightly expensive compared to the Season1-8 kits. The seller messed up the first delivery, sending only the 12th Season DVD (costing 899) against an order of 8999. Thankfully, the Amazon delivery sub-system worked flawlessly with a replacement coming in ultra quick.
