episode

While Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen laughs off ethics clauses in his contract and urges the show’s producers to get him back into the fold before he unravels again, the comedy series’ creator is firing back by weighing in on the actor’s ongoing personal issues.

Men creator Chuck Lorre made light of Sheen’s history of alcoholism, substance abuse, and partying with pornographic actresses in a message that ran for about two seconds at the end of last night’s episode.

This week’s episode is light on zombies, but heavy in the human drama -- something that strengthens the show. After all, we watch it for the human reactions to the apocalypse, not the monsters.

The first half of this week’s episode is about mourning -- something not usually covered in zombie films -- and actually drives that home while the show contains zombies.

The episode opens with Rick radioing Morgan on the walkie talkie at dawn and keeping him updated on their progress, though he never hears a response.

"Conan" opened with a "Godfather" filming style piece which traced his journey from NBC to TBS, including of course, jokes about his conflict with Jay Leno.

"Thank you and welcome to my second annual first show," said O'Brien, who kept his "hiatus" beard, though trimmed, for the show. His monologue was rather tasteful as he only made a few remarks regarding his time at NBC, including a clip of his Masturbating Bear, which NBC has claimed the rights to.
