2 1/2 Men - Is Alan's chick retarded?
 
I record these shows and watch em when I work out and just saw Mondays episode and Ive seen the girl that plays Alans chick, but did I miss something? Is she suppose to be retarded? This is pretty stupid and instead of laughing I feel like Im watching some dude get his jollies from porking someone very slow.

Of course I havent looked her up on IMDB since I dont know her name so I dont know if she really is slow, but it seems that way with the crooked mouth and weird slur she has. So I mean no offense to anyone.

http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/91/47/10/10m.jpg Her name is April Bowlby.

And yes, the character she's playing is mentally retarded.
That's why the situation is so funny, because Alan is having sex with this hot woman who has the mind of a child.
It's really like he's raping her, because she doesn't have the intellectual capacity to actually understand about consent.

One might think that the situation would be that she's just young, hot and stupid.
And the joke would be that Alan is conflicted about dating someone so dumb just because she's sexy, but 2.5 Men is way more cutting edge than that.

In fact, I think the actress really is retarded, and they pay her in candy.

If he was making love to a retarded woman, I would have a real problem with that.

[Ron Howard] So would I..... [/Ron Howard]

Patman 03-22-06 07:16 AM

She's not retarded, just younger at heart for a 22 year old (her character, that is).

I think April Bowlby is a riot, she hits her mark pitch-perfect most of the time. (Then again, I think I was obsessed with her after seeing her in the commercial for "yasmin").

Ravenous 03-22-06 01:45 PM

I dunno, she just plays the "dumb" chick tooo slow or something. I dont think Ive laughed once at her. I guess Im a guy who doesnt get off to that kinda crap/girl.

RocShemp 03-22-06 02:19 PM

She's not retarted at all. Like Patman said, she's just young at heart. The proof of this is when she was playing video games with Jake and how bored she was with Alan's "getting to know each other better" conversation in that same episode. Anyway, I sure as hell wouldn't complain about a girl that hot calling me Father Huggy Bear. :drool:

Patman 03-22-06 03:03 PM

Just watched this week's episode, and her body is vewy vewy hawt.

This woman is every male's fantasy - beautiful, skilled and uninhibited in bed, and dumb as a rock. But to actually have someone like that in real life would drive me nuts.

No, I'm not as skinny as I used to be. :lol:

"Good for you." :lol:

Alan's the retard.

RocShemp 04-20-06 10:56 AM

Well I guess April Bowlby is out of this show (they made Kandi best friends with Judith). :( Anyone know where we might see her next.

nothing listed on IMDB. i do remember the episode she was in on CSI and what a different character it was. Makes me appreciate how well she played Kandi.

Why would that make her out of the show?


Anyway...I know where I'd like to see the two of them next :eyebrow:

Jessica Simpson?

littlefuzzy 04-20-06 07:18 PM

For some reason, she reminds me of Alyson Hannigan, especially her voice...

Original Desmond 04-21-06 02:06 AM

she is smokin !

Because of the way Alan so royally screwed up his relationship with her. It's basically the equivalent of how well Charlie screwed things up with Mia. So Kandi is surely gone. :(

Patman 04-21-06 09:19 PM

Well, it looks like she'll be on the next episode because it features Charlie macking on her mom (played by yummy Gail O'Grady), so it's still good.

RocShemp 04-22-06 05:54 PM

Well that does offer some hope. And Gail O'Grady did put a stupid grin on my face when she appeared in the last episode. :up:

Patman 04-24-06 11:12 PM

Gotta love the push-up bra Kandi was wearing during the Cyrano de Bergerac scene between her and Alan and Edith.

Gail O'Grady defines MILFy goodness.

Ravenous 04-25-06 01:27 PM

Kinda funny how a thread I start putting down the show turns into a thread praising it! :lol: Oh well

Ive already stopped watching the show. Its gotten repetitive and very boring. I roll my eyes more than laugh. Too bad cause it was good at the begening.

Original Desmond 04-26-06 09:18 AM

This week's episode was arguable one of the best half hour comedy sitcoms episodes i've seen this tv season!

Had me in stitches throughout

This show has improved heaps since season 1, the chemistry between Alan and Charlie is first rate

The actress who played Kandi's hot MILF mum was great.

Hell i'd bang Judith too!

Legolas 04-26-06 11:49 AM

Now that there's no way in hell Denise Richards will ever appear on this show again, would they ever hook Charlie and Judith up?
