Jeers: Two and a Half-Witted
Charlie Sheen and Alicia Witt
Jeers to Two and a Half Men for saddling Alicia Witt with a truly ridiculous role.
The vivacious actress, who got her start on CBS' Monday comedy lineup as Cybill Shepherd's daughter on Cybill, deserved better than playing Desiree Pasternak, Jake's ex-fifth grade teacher, who was so broken up after drunken sleaze Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) dumped her that she suffered a nervous breakdown and became a stripper.
The degrading part required Witt to give Jon Cryer's Alan an extended lap dance, then undergo an inexplicable religious conversion, then revert to her pole-dancing ways. Despite Alicia's game efforts to make sense of this mess, the episode was truly Witt-less.
