I Do So Miss Charlie Harper!

I really miss Charlie Harper!! Hey, I'm not talking Charlie Sheen here; this is about Charlie Harper; my idol. that jingle-writing, -mongering, alcohol-binging gambler with a gift for words. That guy knew how to play with words.

I want to say Alan (his brother) was a perfect foil for him, but Alan made it so easy for everyone (including Charlie) to get the better of him that I'm embarrassed to put him in the same sentence with the word perfect.

And, of course, we can't ignore Charlie's back and forth with Berta; short and sweet and sporadic; but absolutely hilarious. And Charlie's mother who was probably hornier than Charlie and willing to prove it.

So, I was sad to hear that Charlie died. But even before his death another family had started to make inroads into my viewing life, two families really. Or should that be multiple families? Anyway, before we get to those families let me mention some fellows who had started to get more laughs from me before these families chose to intrude.

A Big Bang came immediately after Two And A Half men for awhile before not only pulling away, but sometimes earning more accolades than my Charlie. Matter of fact, at one point I started wondering if I was just watching 2 & 1/2 (blasphemy) out of loyalty, because these strange nerds were not just extremely funny, but just as randy as Charlie without coming close to scoring even a fraction as much.

But just at the moment when Charlie was probably making a run to become my favorite again, he chose to self-destruct. Not to worry. You know the saying: "when one door closes another one opens". Words so true because by the time they had finished washing those blood-spattered wheels on the train that took our dear Charlie off to that Great Whorehouse in the ... where is it by the way? Anyway, I digress.

By that time I had already found not one, not two, not three... (to quote LeBron James) but four, count them, four new families, all of them different and hilarious. We immediately found out what the Heck was going on in The Middle in Indiana (have you ever caught one of their Thanksgiving Day Get-togethers? Or this year's Valentine Day);

We found a Modern Family that was made up of three inter-related (is that the word I want) families, consisting of an aging architect and his smoking-hot Latin wife and her ; plus his super-competitive and her husband with 3 of their own; and also his lawyer and his partner and their adopted ;

Then there is Mike and his girl Molly who lives with her sister and mother who could go head to head (or is it head-to-toe) with Charlie in drinking or whoring;

Finally there is Jimmy, Raising Hope with the help (they think) of grandpa Burt and grandma Virginia, and the ever smoking-hot (or rather: smoking)Maw-Maw.

So when I thought for a minute that I was going to miss Charlie and my favorite show, only to realize that: "that's not my favorite sit-com!" It was getting better but it had a long way to go to catch Modern Family and Big Bang Theory, and it was in a death-match struggle with Mike & Molly, Raising Hope and The Middle.

At this point I realized that, yes, I miss Charlie Harper. But he ain't coming back. And even though he's not coming back I don't have to go on hunger-strike because I've got 5 excellent replacements.

I still miss Charlie Harper!
