NOW THAT NEWLYWED ALAN HAS MOVED OUT, CHARLIE RETURNS TO HIS BACHELOR LIFESTYLE, ON THE FOURTH SEASON PREMIERE OF "TWO AND A HALF MEN," MONDAY, SEPT. 18 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"Working for Caligula" -- Now that newlywed Alan has moved out, Charlie returns to his bachelor lifestyle, on the fourth season premiere of TWO AND A HALF MEN, Monday, Sept. 18 (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. Gary Halvorson directed the episode from a teleplay by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn, two of the series' executive producers.

In the wake of his second divorce, Alan melts down. Charlie, family and friends are no help.

TWO AND A HALF MEN is a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son, and the many women who surround them. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle is interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), and Alan's son, Jake (Angus T. Jones), come to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn (Holland Taylor); Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith (Marin Hinkle); Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta (Conchata Ferrell); and Rose (Melanie Lynskey), a brilliantly manipulative and vaguely crazy neighbor who had a brief fling with Charlie, is obsessed with him and is determined to stay in his life by whatever means necessary. Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common -- they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.

TWO AND A HALF MEN is produced by Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc., and the Tannenbaum Company, in association with Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn, Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Mark Burg and Oren Koules are the executive producers.
