Crucially though, is it funnier than the ex-Friends stars show?

On paper, it all sounds quite promising.

For the uninitiated,Two and a Half Mencentres on brothers Charlie and Alan Harper and Alans son Jake.

So, the basic premise in born.

Give a cute kid a funny line or place him in an inappropriate situation and laughs will undoubtedly ensue.

But what happens when that same kid grows up and stops being cute?

Unfortunately, said actor (Angus T Jones) isnt great.

The other comedic highlight is Rose.

All-in-all, series three is a slow burner.

So, Charlie Sheens legs aside, this is solid, if not gut-bustlingly funny, comedic ground.

Two And A Half Men season 3 is out now.
