BeforeCharlie Sheen was fired,Two and a Half Menwas an iconic sitcom with a distinctive identity.

Waldens aw-shucks innocence was no match for Charlies debauched edge.

He and Alan went on a father-son bonding trip to the Grand Canyon to see him off.

Jones reprised his role as Jake in theTwo and a Half Menseries finale.

Jenny was clearly supposed to fill the void left by Jake.

The fact that she was introduced one episode after Jake departed from the main cast makes that obvious.

As a lazy stoner with a juvenile sense of humor, Walden was more like Jake.

When Jenny arrived, proper balance was restored.

While Jake was living in his house, Charlie became a caring father figure to him.

He realized the value of family and matured into a competent caregiver.

After Charlie was killed off, it was too late to make that character work.

Without Charlie around to build a relationship with her,Jenny was essentially just Charlie 2.0.

All the right personalities were there to getTwo and a Half Menback to its former glory.

But it still didnt work, becauseit was too late to get invested in a new character.
