HALF- HOUR Comedy
Two And A Half Men
Charlie Harper (Sheen) is a well-to-do bachelor with a house
at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with
women. But his casual Malibu lifestyle was interrupted when
his tightly wound brother, Alan (Cryer), and Alan’s son, Jake
(Jones), moved in with him. 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 one of them a better man.

HALF- HOUR Comedy
Friends
The success of the half hour sit-com, Friends owes as much to
its writers as it does to its tight-knit ensemble cast of actors. The
comedy series that is set in Manhattan and traces the lives of six
friends taps into all manner of timely trends, phobias, stereotypes and mannerisms while keeping the laugh factor in high
gear. The characters include Rachel (Aniston), Monica (Cox),
Phoebe (Kudrow), Ross (Schwimmer), Chandler (Perry) and Joey
(LeBlanc). These friends, naïve and emotionally available are obsessed with each other! Viewers quickly become engaged with
the show and its incredible cast of characters as they stay in,
hang out and get involved! Friends will always keep you smiling
and wanting more with its witty banter and quirky situations.

HALF- HOUR animated Comedy
The Simpsons
A favourite among children and adults alike, The Simpsons is
the longest-running prime-time animated series in television
history and the yardstick against which all other animated series
are measured. Its blend of political satire, timely social references and sight gags evokes laughter from both young and
old. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the host of colourful characters that inhabit the town of Springfield have kept
audiences in stitches since they first sprang to life as a series of
30-second spots on The Tracy Ullman Show. They have carried
that momentum through 20 seasons as a regular series and
show no signs of letting up.
