In the vanity card at the very end of the closing credits you guys will see that Chuck Lorre was a douche to Charlie Sheen till the last breath .but the entire episode is a colossal red herring — building up to a climax that never happens.

It was a cheap ploy for ratings, bating the audience with the possible appearance of Sheen. Then it's like, "get lost audience" those 12 years of watching… and the final moment we trick you." Despicable!

they said they offered Charlie a role but he didn't like it and he wanted to do some other one of his own ,, oh i would watch charlie even if it was for a minute telling the audience to F.. off :P .. I'm really disappointed .

Honestly i don't even know why i gave it 3 stars !! maybe it's because i'm a loyal fan !! or it's for bringing Jake back even for a 40 second !! :\

The show ended with a one hour season finale but it's not what you expect. Rose has returned with surprising revelation about Charlie being alive for the last four years and living in a dungeon. First, this is unbelievable and doesn't follow the last four years where Rose has been actively stalking Walden as well. The first half hour of the last half hour has been making poor bad shots at Charlie Sheen who was fired from the show four years ago under craziness. This last hour should have been much more about tying loose ends rather than revenge. It's great to see Rose and Evelyn too. I didn't care for Charlie's daughter, Jenny, who was awful and ruined the series for me last year. Jenny was poorly developed lesbian version of Charlie who was unbelievable at all. Chuck Lorre could have done better for his fans rather than giving us this mess of a finale.

I watched this show on-and-off for a few years growing up. I didn't pay much attention to it, but my dad was a big fan - atleast up until Ashton Kutcher's introduction - and I got to see bits of it while he watched it, waiting for my turn to use the TV.

I had a bit of nostalgia for it, so I decided to watch the whole thing this year.

I really liked the Charlie seasons and enjoyed the show with Walden quite a bit too.

Although this last season was awful, I hoped that the finale would atleast tie some things together and bring some sense of satisfaction regarding the journey of the characters. That it would give a good conclusion to everything, like any good ending does.

I can't believe that this opportunity was wasted in favor of such a pathetic ending.

Why wouldn't you show Alan's wedding, maybe a marriage proposal of Walden to his new girlfriend.

End the show on a good note, a married and happy Walden with his adoptive son and a wife, a good life for Alan and Lyndsey, have a better set up for Berta's retirement, or perhaps more than five seconds devoted to Jake's marriage.

That would be very cliché, but even that is better than this abomination.

Why turn the last minutes of a 12 season show into the sitcom equivalent of a petty youtuber disstrack?

I can't imagine the disappointment of all of the people who watched the show every week for 12 years only to end on this mediocre blooper reel of an episode. I watched it for half a year and I'm still pretty disappointed.

I enjoyed the show with Walden, Jenny and all the other character most people hate. I even sat through the last season without many grievances - except boredom - but this last episode is truly the worst finale of a sitcom or show in general I've seen in my life.

Even a 'the entire show was a dream' type of finale would have been better.

I made my profile on IMDB after 3 years just to give thumb down to this finale. Horrible and cheap shots fired from crew and Chuck with personal vendetta against Sheen.Its not a slap on face of Sheen but all those fans who kept on watching it and who tuned in to see Sheen make a cameo.

This show has some die hard fan base even though they might be small.

One hour of nonsense, just so Lorre can settle accounts with Charlie Sheen, remind everybody it's a show, make fun of Charlie Sheen, and remind everybody that it's HIS show. Did mention he poked Sheen because he's not in the show anymore?

Chuck wanted to seek his revenge on Charlie, & didn't realise (or maybe he did) he spoilt it and ridiculed his loyal audience instead.

Chuck Lorre has made it very clear that it means more to him to end a mostly breezy, funny and at many times a 12 year long amazing TV show by cracking lame jokes and potshots at Charlie Sheen's expense in the finale than make it good. Seriously ? I never knew the writers could be so childish. Watching this episode was really painful. Why pull the Charlie thread at all if you didn't want anything to do with him anyway ? What makes it worse is that they tried to generate the maximum interest by moving the plot around Charlie. Even missing from the show for 4 years, Charlie still takes in more eyeballs than the rest of them combined. Also I didn't like the aspects of his personal life being shown condescendingly...like tiger blood etc. C'mon, this is a TV sitcom and that's someone's personal life. Keep them apart. This honestly looked like a rant of a jealous baby rather than a finale of a 12 year old sitcom. Shameful.

Unlike others, I thought this was a great finale to this series. A complete spoof and send up of the whole series. There's no way this series could have had a serious ending, so they just sent the whole thing up, perfect! Yes, it's a shame Charlie Sheen couldn't have been involved, but I thought the final scenes involving the make believe Charlie and Chuck Lorre were spot on. He takes the mickey out of Charlie, then himself! They brought back as many cast members as they could for little cameos, Hey, it's a comedy folks, what better way for a comedy to finish?

Something great ruined by a personal grudge. Lot of cheap shots and bad writing and acting. Such a shame to see something that was so great ends in a poor note. Shame !!! shame !!! Shame !!!

This show is garbage without Sheen. I love the reruns!

Two and a Half Men had been floundering in recent years. The dismissal of Charlie Sheen had thrown the show into jeopardy which it only just recovered from, but what remained was a very dry, over the top show that struggled for ratings week after week, and failed it's big attempts at humour. So it's suiting that we got a finale that displayed just how far Two and a Half Men had fallen.

This episode revolved around the mystery of Charlie's death as Alan realises he only has Rose's word that Charlie actually died. This builds up a lot of suspense for the viewer that Charlie may actually return to the show, so what follows is a 40 minute build up to his return which the episode, never delivers!

The main humour is at the standard of the rest of the Kutcher years, however there are the occasional moments of classic Two and a Half Men that sneak into the script, making this one of the better episodes in the Kutcher years, but it's still not something I want to watch again!

There is endless meta-humour here and it's actually somewhat funny, the characters turning and facing the audience after a line like "I can't believe you've made so much money with such stupid jokes", is one of the episode's better gags, and when the detective played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (really bizarre cameo!) asks if Charlie tried Anger Management, and Alan replies "Yeah, but it didn't work out!", is a line I quite enjoyed.

But I think the most offensive thing about this episode is the disappointing build up to Charlie Sheen, which was obviously just done to improve ratings, but instead ending up being considered the series worst episode (well, to the people of IMDb anyway!)

What I've hated about the recent series is the constant disappearance of the cast. Look at the track record, after Charlie was killed off, Jake vanished, Evelyn vanished, Rose vanished, Judith vanished, Berta vanished, Herb vanished, Gorden vanished, and they were all replaced with paper-thin characters with actors who couldn't act if they were in a Michael Bay film.

The finale brings back most of these characters, but only for fleeting cameo roles. Rose, despite being the main antagonist and the cause of the story, gets about 5 minutes of screen-time before walking out the door, yes, walking out the door, claiming jumping over the deck, would be "silly"! (???)

Evelyn gets a little more time, but she leaves with Rose, vanishing from the story, Judith gets a fleeting blink and you'll miss it cameo, and Herb is never seen at all. Berta is just there, there's no reason for her involvement she just walks on occasionally. Jake returns with $2.5 Million before retuning to his wife and kids (WHAT?!), and even the new series regular Jenny gets a two minute cameo before disappearing. But the cameos of Chealsea, Mia, Kandi and Lyndsey were nice.

Oh, and what about that animated sequence, what the hell was that?! Why would Chuck Lorre think that was a good idea? Did he realise that no matter what happened, the series was doomed and start messing with the audience?

So... Overall, despite the recent years being a rather disappointing few years for the show, I am going to miss it. Two and a Half Men will be remembered for a long time, after all, it's the reason the Big Bang Theory, Mike and Molly and Mom were all made, three very successful sitcoms under the control of Chuck Lorre. Just as long as the latter two end at series 8, because judging by Two and a Half Men and the Big Bang Theory's ninth seasons, that's where everything goes wrong.

My title says it all, this was the worst finale in history of TV shows. Mocking people who have been supporting this show for such long time. Its not that they do not have talent to produce good episode, it just showed how lorre hated charlie that he was willing to create garbage just to make fun of charlie. I hate you lorre with bottom of my heart.

I won't go into detail about how bad the finale was, since most of the above reviewers covered that pretty well. Bottom line: very nice to see some of the old faces, but the show itself managed to be almost completely devoid of any laughs.

Most of the "humor" seemed to come from either taking shots at the show itself, i.e., that it had gone on too long, or by taking shots at Charlie Sheen - not the Charlie Harper character, but personal shots at Sheen himself. Which all felt pretty weird, since it was like continued slaps in the face of the fans who obviously didn't think the show had gone on too long (or they wouldn't have still been watching) and most of whom who had developed some genuine affection for Charlie Sheen/Charlie Harper. So when the show was over you were left with this kind of empty, kind of sad, feeling. Which sure was a strange way for a long-running sitcom to go out. I'm going to have a little trouble watching the syndicated reruns for a while.

I was also real disappointed seeing Jon Cryer join in the ridicule of Sheen - particularly the jab at Anger Management. Just felt like a stab in the back somehow and beneath the usually classy Cryer.

I never would have guessed the depth of Chuck Lorre's anger/bitterness toward Sheen. I mean it's been over three years now - get over it. I guess it's Lorre who could use some anger management. To some degree I don't blame Lorre, since I hardly knew who he was before the Sheen feud, but now I'll forever think of him as this petty, unpleasant guy with a very brittle ego. Still, after all this time he should have put it aside and behaved in a professional manner. Didn't he have some friends who could have warned him how poorly this was going to reflect on his image? I'm guessing he's going to regret this show for the rest of his life. "Winning"? A lot closer to "losing".

Just a sad ending all around.

this show was nothing but a 4 year grudge chuck has had against Charlie sheen. that show for 12 years has been about Alan being poor and him wanting the house. but they instead of wrapping up the tight ends he went on a grudge match about sheen. it shows that he still isn't over a four year old fight. they could have had Alan get a couple million from is divorce from Walden. and maybe Walden's girlfriend gets pregnant so they move out and he gives the house to Alan.Now was that so hard. revenge doesn't pay. and anyone like me that follows Charlie sheen on face book you would know he would never work for a troll like chuck. you ruined a great show with your revenge for Charlie.thanks hope you don't blow it with big bang theory. but what i read there are a whole lot of people that have decided not to watch anymore of your shows after tonight. so good luck. LOVED THE ACTORS!! the writers sucked.

For years this was our favorite show. We watched (and re-watched) the episodes, wishing there were more funny sitcoms that could achieve such greatness. For us, Charlie was never the "funny" one...but he was there to set up the rest of the extremely talented cast members who were usually very, very funny. In fact, we frankly grew tired of Charlie making kissing noises as he sucked the face of every female in sight. That "joke" tended to cloy after a while, but we chalked it up to just being part of a show we loved. After Charlie's infamous "meltdown" we sort of lost interest in seeing him in anything and after the show shifted gears (and cast members) we found other ways to spend our time. However, when we learned that the "finale" was coming on, we were anxious to see what would happen. We were not disappointed. Everyone at our house was convulsing with laughter and, as each former cast member made an appearance, we speculated on whether Charlie would appear. No one really cared, he was practically in every scene anyway...without making an appearance. The ending was funny and satisfying. We saw our favorites, including Berta, Rose, Evelyn, Judith and so many more. Totally enjoyable...and the puppet sequence was great. See it if you get a chance...I know I'll watch it again.

This was a fantastic way to end the series and a great way for Chuck Lorre to give a little back to Charlie Sheen for deserting the show. The private jokes were hilarious. Bringing in Arnold was great (he clearly was in on the joke). And, the entire undercurrent of wanting to finally end the show reflected how all the players probably felt. Starting with Chuck himself.

They bring back all these odd people including Jenny and crazy kid, but forget Louis the love of Walden?

The entire episode was building up on return of Charlie, but the personal vendetta of Chuck ruined it for all of us.

Chuck grow up. You just proved you are an ahole.
