Exclusive: 'Galactica' fembot targets 'Two and a Half Men'

Tricia-Helfer-Two-Half-Men_lIt sounds like it oughta be an easy math problem: Add the babe formerly known as Six to a show called Two and a Half Men, and whad’ya get?

Complications, it turns out.

Battlestar Galactica alum Tricia Helfer will guest in an upcoming episode of the hitcom as a gal pal of Charlie’s fiancee. Natch, when Chelsea hears her bosomy buddy is recovering from a breakup, she insists that she do so at Casa Harper.

Cue two and a half men with their eyes bugging out — in other words, complications.

Helfer’s episode airs Nov. 16. Will you tune in? (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)

    Heck yes I will tune in!

    She is a perfect fit for Charlie, Jake and Alan!

  • Jayme

    Really dislike the show, as do many other Galactica fans, I fear. I won’t be watching, but fantastic if this gets her even more work.

    • Jason

      Nice work with your assumptions there, Jayme, as I own the seasons for both Two and a Half Men and Battlestar Galactica! As TV’s highest rated comedy several years running I’m fairly certain there’s a little more overlap than you might think. Just because you don’t like Two and a Half Men doesn’t mean that you have to be so high minded and haughty about Battlestar fans and speak like you’re the ringleader.

        i don’t mind jayme speaking for me. i love battlestar and tricia helfer but not even my love for her could make me tune into the travesty that is 2 1/2 men. terrible, unfunny show that’s popularity baffles me.

      • tamara

        jayme can speak for me too. I’m a BSG fan, among other shows.
        And for the life of me I can’t understand how anybody likes ’2 and a 1/2 Men’. Ag!! it’s so bad I feel embarrased for Tricia for appearing on it.

      • AC

        Sorry Jason, it appears that Jayme is speaking for a lot of BSG fans. You can continue to support the most unfunny show with the most despicable leading man in TV history, but I don’t think BSG fans will.

  • april-ann

    No, I won’t tune in. Any friend of the boring fiance will just make for yet another boring episode.

  • tvfan

    I love the show, but hate Chelsea as the love interest. I look forward to quest stars who can mess up the relationship.

  • JJ

    I agree. Speak for yourself when ripping on Two and a Half Men, because there are many BSG fans I know who don’t agree with you. I loved watching BSG, and the 2.5 Men/Big Bang Theory hour is one of our fave parts of watching tv.

    • starbuckcubed

      I wish Big Bang was back with How I met Your Mother.

      • bootsycolumbia

        Me too!

  • Katie

    I absolutely love two and a half men show. I don’t get why people don’t like the show…Now According to Jim I understood but not this…

    • Davey

      I just find it completely unfunny….but that’s me! It’s very similar to Everybody Loves Raymond….not my cup of tea I guess. Love some Tricia Helfer, but NO….I will not be watching. I’d rather watch “The Plan” with SIX on October 27th….can’t wait!

      • sohildj

        hlo.

    • Lint

      We don’t like it because Jake is too old to be cute anymore, and all the show has left is a long list of sex jokes. For the last couple of seasons at least the plot lines always revolve around whether Charlie is going to cheat on Chelsea and/or Mia, what new low will Alan stoop to in order to get some, and what disgusting and inappropriate “relationship” will Grandma find herself in. Oh, and Alan’s dummy…not funny and a little disturbing.

      • Ckought

        More than a little disturbing. Jon Cryer went from being Duckie to being Chucky.

  • ombsg

    and not to be the geek police, but six was not a fem-bot. cylons are not robots.

    • Brian

      Oh for heaven’s sakes.

    • yussir

      word! so racist.

    • Violatrix

      yup – it’s closer to say she was an android/humanoid since she WAS capable of producing an offspring :P Robots can’t reproduce

  • TORRENCE%

    Use to love Two & a Half Men but this season has not been funny. the finance & Alan’s girlfriend have been boring & really slowed the show down. Time to dump the love interests & get back to the good ole days of dating, cheating, lying & partying or this party is over for good.

  • Dman

    Big BSG fan here, and yes huge 2 1/2 Men fan! Definitely an overlap! Both shows are genius in their own way. It should be noted that “Men” and “Big Bang” are produced and often written by the same guys! Yet I read all the time people who praise “BBT” and trash “Men”.
    Unlike TVFAN above, I love the dynamic Chelsea has brought to the show. Like TVFAN above, I too look forward to any guest star that can mess up the relationship. Charlie is gettin’ a little old to be a habitual player. This story line makes for good character growth.

  • kerowyn

    I definitely will tune in. Maybe she can bring around the demise of Charlie and Chelsea. I hate them as a couple.

  • Mina

    i’m sad. Trisha Helfer is far too good for two and half men.

  • steve

    Love the show but hate the fact there doing the whole finance thing again after the mia mess and this is the same its just not working with the show so am all for anything thatll mess up there relationship

  • Lauren

    Oh, Tricia, not ‘Two and a Half Men’, you’re so much better than that. :(

  • Iakovos

    I forever will marvel at the appeal of TWO AND A HALF MEN. I just do not get how it has lasted this long. Lowest common denominator?

  • taunya

    I love this show but I have no idea who this woman is.
