Second Run TV: Two and a Half Men

Two and a Half Men: Season 4, Episode 7 "Repeated Blows to His Unformed Head" (B+)

I have not checked in with this show for quite some time. Returning, I find it pretty the same as I left it. Not too much actually happens in the half-hour, but it is absolutely hilarious. The dialogue is more than clever, and makes up for the often inane storylines. This particular episode was submitted for Emmy consideration and garnered nominations for both Jon Cryer and Conchata Ferrell. Cryer certainly does a good job and works pretty hard at it, though I am not sure the role is terribly difficult. Ferrell hardly has a part in this episode, and while her brilliant lines are well-delivered, I cannot see how she got nominated for an Emmy based merely on this. I do not tend to watch just an episode here and there of any show, but this seems like just the series for that.
