MISTAKES/GOOFS

TRIVIA

• The Chuck Lorre Productions video card that displayed for a fraction of a second following the closing credits of this episode, included the following text: CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #213 Tonight's show ends our fifth season. It's hard to believe that when we began I was thirty-eight years old, could bench press two hundred and sixty pounds, run a four-minute mile, calculate pi to eighty decimals in my head, kick a fifty-yard field goal into a stiff head wind, hit a ninety-mile an hour curve ball, play scratch golf from the gold tees, sing like Ray Charles, write like Philip Roth, make love like a jackhammer that's not afraid to share its feelings, and dance the fandango. But hey, isn't suspension of disbelief what this business is all about? Anyway, the point of this card was not to wax nostalgic for a me that is hopefully thriving in an alternate universe. The point was to express my gratitude to everyone who made time in their busy lives to watch Two and a Half Men. Your loyalty and support is something we never take for granted. Please know that our sole intention has always been to create laughter, never too offend. It is on this basis, and this basis alone, that I am constantly defending jokes to the CBS sensor (a lovely, sweet-tempered lady who regularly proves that people of color can blush). Although to be completely honest, in tonight's season finale, Evelyn's line to her handsome young beau as to which movie to see at a multiplex, "You pick darling, you're the one who'll be facing the screen," kind of offends me. Where's a blushing censor when you need one?
