Throughout his run behind the scenes, Chuck Lorre has faced some backlash on a few occasions. At times, that heat took center stage due to the nature of certain episodes on Two and a Half Men. However, clearly by this point it was already established that the show wasn't afraid to push boundaries, especially in terms of its edginess.
One storyline in particular angered fans and likely wouldn't air at all today. It featured both Walden and Alan getting involved with a same-sex marriage. Lorre had to apologize for the moment, they did state that there was no bad intent to work the storyline.
"No offence is intended, and I hope none is taken," Lorre said.
"We've always been somewhat of an offensive show, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is going to be offending people.
We can't go out with dignity, because we've never had any."
Jon Cryer also issued a statement of his own about the moment. Similar to Lorre, Cryer understood why fans were upset, but he also defended the moment and the show.
