Not much has changed for Two and a Half Men over the years. The characters remain themselves, the gags remain completely inappropriate for network television, and it’s always consistently laugh out loud funny. Season four shows no decline in the laughs-per-episode quotient.
The season picks right up from the third, with a botched Vegas wedding. Alan’s his usual overly depressed self, Charlie is still womanizing, and Jake… well, Jake is changing. He’s slowly getting older, and a few episodes like "It Never Rains in Hooterville" do a great job of making the adjustment.
There’s little question this series is formulaic. Nearly every episode features Charlie (Charlie Sheen) with another woman, Alan (Jon Cryer) reacting, with Jake (Angus T. Jones) stuck in the middle. The difference is that these are truly wonderful characters, branching out to every possible extreme. The performances, especially Jon Cryer who is always at his peak in each episode, are memorable and deserving of accolades.
There’s little to complain about when it comes to Two and Half Men. Aside from those who find the show offensive to whatever morals they may have (and can’t get past it even though it’s a TV show), it’s hard to see anyone not finding this funny. It’s not hard to see this end up being one of the longer running comedies on television. 
Like the show, the DVD transfers have been consistent as well: fairly awful. Season four is compounded by edge enhancement, an overall murky look, lackluster detail, and inconsistent flesh tones. Compression artifacts are constantly a problem, and are quite distracting. Primary colors fare well and at the very least show some consistency.

I agree, I've seen every episode of s4 and they're awesome. Two and a Half Men is one of my favorite shows on TV right now, lol.
