The fifth season of Two and a Half Men originally aired on CBS from September 24, 2007, to May 19, 2008. A total of only 19 episodes were aired due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Unlike the previous seasons, the Season 5 DVD came without a gag reel. The DVD also titled "Tight's Good" as "Shoes, Hats, Pickle Jar Lids", and the "Previously on Two and a Half Men" recap seen in the original broadcast of "Fish in a Drawer" was initially not included on DVD. This was the shortest season in the history of the show until the eighth season ended after 16 episodes due to the firing of Charlie Sheen.
Production on the show was halted on November 6, 2007 because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The show returned on March 17, 2008 with 9 episodes to conclude the fifth season.
Jake is getting ready to start a new school as he advances to junior high, but his dad and uncle's scary stories might end his academic career a bit early. Alan and Charlie take him school shopping and find themselves in trouble, both there and later. Meanwhile, Charlie has a rash in a most inopportune area.
Charlie ends up having to go to one of Evelyn's firm get togethers, but the event ends up giving the two a friendship. However, Charlie sleeps with a woman that he met at the party against Evelyn's orders, but she firmly takes this into an advantage. Alan sleeps with a woman (Jeanene Garofalo) who behaves oddly the next morning.
Note: For this episode, Holland Taylor was nominated for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Alan convinces Charlie that he needs to date more respectable women and sets him up with a judge called Linda (Ming-Na). The two double date and things don't go too well, with Charlie unexperienced about dating woman of his age. Desperate for a second chance, Charlie goes to great lengths to speak to Linda again, which include allowing himself to be caught by the police and sent to court to see her.
