Charlie Sheen Shirts

A Winning Comedy

Two and a Half Men has been one of television’s most popular sitcoms since its very first show in 2003. The situational comedy features Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a 40-ish, aging playboy bachelor with a very successful career writing commercial jingles. His lifestyle becomes very cramped when his brother Alan (Jon Cryer) gets divorced and is forced to move in with him, bringing his 10 year old son Jake (Angus T Jones) with him. Alan is a lot more uptight than Charlie is, and also more than a little jealous of his lifestyle. There’s a stalker ex-girlfriend, a nosy housekeeper, and a self-centered mother, which makes for some funny, yet risque comedy. If you’re easily offended you should stay away, but if you like fearless comedy you should come on in and laugh awhile.

One other reason why Two and a Half Men is so popular is because that Charlie Sheen’s role as Charlie Harper is seen as skewering his own foibles and reputation. Charlie Sheen has long had the distinction of being one of Hollywood’s bad boys, having done several stints in rehab and numerous times in court (both divorce and criminal). He’s a famous client of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, reportedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her girls and services. He’s no stranger to domestic violence, or drug use. Just recently, in fact, after an altercation with his wife, he was formally charged with felony menacing, and third-degree assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. He plead guilty to misdemeanor assault as part of a plea bargain where the other charges against him were dismissed.

And believe it or not, he is more popular than ever. The show is  ”America’s Number-One Comedy,” according to CBS, and he just signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a reported $1.78 million per episode. During the Winter Olympics, Two and a Half Men went up against them as a repeat, and still drew more than 10 million viewers. That’s very impressive, and it means that the show has some serious fans. It obviously does, with those kinds of numbers or a re-run.

And you know those two-toned retro-style bowling shirts that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men? They’re some of the most popular menswear in stores today. Charlie Sheen shirts are flying off the shelves, and it is all due to the popularity of the show.

The show has its detractors, who say it is too crude and too cliched, but other fans don’t seem to mind, and CBS is sure to keep the same winning formula for its number one show. Two and a Half Men will be back next season, just the same as it was before.

The Growing Popularity of Charlie’s Swanky Shirts

Ever since the arrival of Two and a Half Men, there has been an explosion throughout the Internet about the fashion picks of Charlie Harper, the protagonist of the show played by Charlie Sheen. The casual, laid-back dress sense of Harper as seen on the sitcom has caught fire, and is hitting it big with companies all clamoring for a piece of the action.

The show features Sheen dressed in a lot of simple, two-toned shirts that hark back to the ’50s and ’60s bowling-alley pop culture era. What began as an innocuous choice of shirts for a few episodes has since been something of a signature feature of the show. Sheen has continued to appear on the show with the same kind of relaxed yet dressy shirt selections. This has fueled speculation that it has been a part of why the show has continued to improve on TV ratings – it regularly broke into the top 10 on TV ratings for the 9 PM Monday timeslot, particularly for the sixth season that ended May 2009.

Today, the demand for those shirts has hit new highs. Firms from in and around the country have come out to parlay the show’s new popularity into a new effort to reach out to eager shoppers. These shirts are fit for almost any body type, be it skinny, lean, muscular or even beer-bellied. They also carry themselves well and with a very strong and confident manner, without being overtly loud, overbearing or obnoxious.

Of course, there are few that can compare to Charlie’s original line, The DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen. Designed with Sheen and his character’s personal style at its core, these shirts feature exactly that easy-going warmth that emanates from Charlie, both on and off the camera and the TV studio set. These swanky shirts can most likely make any guy look undeniably appealing in an instant.
