List of episodes

The eleventh season of Two and a Half Men premiered on CBS on September 26, 2013. Angus T. Jones, who starred as Jake Harper during the first ten seasons, has been downgraded from series regular to recurring cast while the actor attends college. However, he has yet to make an appearance. His place on the series has been replaced by Amber Tamblyn, who joined the cast as Jenny, the illegitimate daughter of Alan's deceased brother Charlie Harper.[1] Tamblyn was promoted to series regular on October 2, 2013.[2]

Production

Angus T. Jones has downgraded to a recurring cast member this season while he is in college. His place on the series has been replaced by Amber Tamblyn, who portrays Jenny, the illegitimate, lesbian daughter of Charlie Harper. Tamblyn's addition to the cast was confirmed on August 7, 2013, and made her first appearance in the season premiere. Although the role was initially announced as a series regular, it later was announced to be recurring role with the option to become a series regular later.[1] On October 2, 2013, Tamblyn was promoted to series regular.[2] Holland Taylor, who only appeared in one episode last season, will appear in more episodes this season.[3]

This is also the first season not to feature an opening sequence with the three leads singing along to the theme song "Manly Men". Instead, the opening titles features the shortened version of the theme with the show's title against a black background (a slide that has been frequently used throughout the series).[4]

Lynda Carter guest starred in the episode "Justice in Star-Spangled Hot Pants", playing herself. The episode's plot was inspired by a meeting Carter had with Jon Cryer, who is a fan of her.

Critical reception

Reviews for this season, and Amber Tamblyn were positive, with critics praising her performance. Sam Moore of Yahoo said: "Despite the criticisms and cast breakdowns, Two and a Half Men keeps surviving, and in my opinion, the show right now is the best it has ever been. Amber Tamblyn has helped breathe life into a show that always seems on the verge of the guillotine and her impact on the show, for me, has been huge and much welcomed."[27] Due to Tamblyn's character being gay, the show received praise from the LGBT community who said "The folks who produce Two and a Half Men should be applauded for their efforts to raise some LGBT awareness amidst the often-madcap goings-on in their shows" and that "it keeps getting better and better".[28]

The Gazette gave a positive review, especially for Kutcher, saying "I think Ashton Kutcher is doing a great job on Two and a Half Men." They also praised the "new LGBT angles the show has added." Overall they said the show " has never been better."[29] They later praised the "new and contemporary directions the show is taking". They felt that this season could be remembered as "its finest", the also said it was "one of few shows that makes me laugh nowadays", and they hoped that the show gets renewed for another season. They said that "Two and a Half Men is brilliant, in a silly sort of way."[30]
