First of all, Shawn is best friends with Cory Matthews, which automatically puts him high on the goober scale. And, while we won’t hold his messed-up family life against him, that’s still no excuse for becoming a teenage alcoholic and nearly flunking out of high school. Get it together, Shawn.
You want to like Steven Hyde. After all, he came from a rough home, but doesn’t let it define who he is. I was even happy for him when the Forman family decided to let him move in with them at the end of season one. However, when Hyde stayed there for seven years (even after Eric had moved out), my patience for Hyde had long since expired. The guy must’ve been 30 years old, and still living on a cot in his friend’s parents’ house. Lame. So, so lame.
I guess Charlie Harper was supposed to put the “fun” in “functioning alcoholic.” Sure, he puts on a brave face, what with his drinking, smoking cigars, and wearing of ill-fitting bowling shirts, but once you realize that Charlie only did this because he was an out-of-work advertising jingle writer with no discernible skills, he becomes a lot more depressing. And, by killing off the character in season seven, Two and a Half Men portrayed a shockingly morbid ending to a sad, lonely, and pointless life.
