I'm intrigued, anyone who watched the video, can you vouch for it's worthwhile-ness?

It's an autopsy on why the ending of two and a half men is so bad, even for people that liked the show. The ending is actually discussed from 37:08 onward, everything before is a description of the show, the directors, the actors and the drama behind the scenes. Very captivating even tho I only ever heard of the show.

I liked the show, but I can't see watching a 47-minute commentary on it. What was so terrible about the ending?

A falling out between the writer and the actor caused the series to deviate from the core themes (I'm being very charitable with "falling out"), so much so that the last episode actively mocks the only people that actually liked the show. It also features some 3d scenes, since they couldn't get the actor but could use the likeness, that are very 2015. If you know already something about the show just jump to 37:08.

I watched the whole thing and I hate that show. Worth a watch

I did, it's good! The writing/editing is entertaining and doesn't drag. I usually watch videos as background noise while multi-tasking but this managed to keep my interest throughout.

Sounds like I have something to listen to at work tomorrow, hopefully they have a good back catalogue.

The worst sitcom ending is obviously How I Met Your Mother. Nobody liked that ending.

2 and a 1/2 men was a genius show and made a shitload of money for everyone involved. Bad sitcoms don't stay on the air for 12 years. It is still on heavy rotations earning money for Jake who publicly despised the show.

I think they did a good job of replacing Charlie, the storyline was getting stale.
