Last Man Standing Season 2


Season Two of Last Man Standing was filled with political overtones with the Baxter family divided in terms of political affiliations.  Basically, the Baxter family is a representation of America's voting population:  Mike, the unspoken democrat, his eldest daughter Kristin is the staunch republican,  his wife Vanessa is the fence sitter, and daughter Mandy is the undecided neophyte voter.  I guess with the US Presidential Elections at hand, the writers may have thought of using this as an electoral parody.  Still, it was very entertaining!  Vintage Tim Allen comedy!

One thing I didn't like about the new season is the replacement of Alexandra Krosney who played Kristin Baxter in the first season with Amanda Fuller.  Personally I think that Amanda looks too mature and not pretty enough to be a Baxter daughter.

Charlie Sheen's New Sitcom: Anger Management

I really like Charlie Sheen as the rich, playboy, jerk of a human being, Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Men.   Personally I think the show wasn't the same without him on board.  But that's show business.  Anyway, he's got a new TV series, Anger Management,  which premiered in FX last June 28, 2012.  It received mixed reviews from critics but I guess it was due to Charlie's recent spate of bad publicity.  Of course it does not discount the fact that Charlie Sheen remains to be a comic draw based on how the show was received by the audience (which happens to be the most watched sitcom premier in cable history). 

Charlie Sheen plays Dr. Charlie Goodson a psychiatrist who handles an anger management therapy group.  He was a former NBL player whose own anger management problem merited him his early retirement; a divorcee who is still "attached" to his ex-wife; a father to an eccentric teenage daughter; and an anger management patient under a therapist who shares his bed. I'm sure the writers can spin a lot of episodes with such a colorful life!

Season 1 ended with 10 episodes and was renewed by FX for another 90 episodes.

Me, I'm a simple guy and BELOW are my nine reasons why I like to watch Anger Management.  In summary---NOUREEN DEWULF!
