5. Two and a Half Men
Two and a Half Men was notorious for its sexism throughout the show’s twelve seasons. The mother is portrayed as selfish, while the ex-wife is awful to Alan, and the neighbor Rose is depicted to be crazy. The other women in the show are the one night stands of Charlie Sheen’s character, and Ashton Kutcher’s character that replaced Sheen in the later seasons. These women are usually unintelligent and superficial, and they rarely reappear after one episode. The creator of the show, Chuck Lorre, is also the man behind The Big Bang Theory, so it’s safe to say that portraying women in a respectful way isn’t exactly his top priority.
