The complete Fifth Season of Two and a Half Men is now available on DVD! Charlie, Alan, Jake and the gang are back for more wacky misadventures. Not only did this season feature the 100th episode of the series, but it also featured a crossover with the writing team from the television show CSI!
Highlights:
"Large Birds, Spiders and Mom" – Jake makes the big leap to Junior High and Alan and Charlie try to give him some advice on how to survive the experience. This advice leads Jake to panic and his experience is worse than he imagined.
"Dum Diddy Dum Diddy Doo"- Charlie is setup on a blind date with a woman named Linda (who also happens to be a judge). The two don't exactly hit it off right away as Charlie's behavior isn't exactly what she was expecting. Charlie has to fight to win her over.
"City of Great Racks"- In the 100th episode, Charlie and Linda's relationship keeps getting more serious but when Charlie starts seeing Rose everywhere he believes that he is going crazy. This is one of the best episodes of the series and I highly recommend it.
"A Little Clammy and None Too Fresh"- Rose makes her official return from "England" and offers to take care of Charlie, who has become sick. Rose gets to play Nurse and comedy ensues.
"Fish in a Drawer"- This episode was written by the creative team of CSI. Investigators come to the Harper residence to investigate the death of Teddy who turns up dead in Charlie's room right after his wedding… Who dun it?
"The Leather Gear is in the Guest Room"- Alan and Charlie have a fight and Alan decides that he is not welcome in their house and threatens to move out. He decides to move in with his Mom, who is not very happy about this new situation. Will the brothers be able to work out their differences?
"Is There a Mrs. Waffles?"- Charlie becomes a sensation as he breaks into the world of Children's Music and becomes "Charlie Waffles".
