The TV show is about a broken family, the two brothers blame their mother Evelyn for their horrible childhood, primarily because she had 5 ex husbands. Each of them died somehow and she profited from their deaths. The brother Charlie got rich from writing little corny jingles for adverts he finds an easy way to make money and do nothing all day and sleep with women. The story gets complicated when his brother Allen gets a divorce and his wife kicks him out of the house and takes all his money, when this happens Charlie takes him in and has to grow up since Allen has a young son. Charlie has to change in order to create an appropriate environment for Allen’s son on the weekends. This analysis has shown me the real message behind the show which is that when there are people that admire you and are influenced by your character you have to make some changes to become a better role model.
