CBS' sitcom Two and a Half Men had several storylines that were introduced but eventually dropped. One example is the ongoing joke about Judith's baby possibly being Alan's, which was never mentioned again. Another is the moment when Lyndsey and Kandi were shown in bed together, but was never spoken of or alluded to again. Alan's retirement and the money from his mother, as well as the character of Jake Harper, were also forgotten plotlines.

Additionally, Louis, the child Walden and Alan adopted, was not mentioned nor appeared in the finale. The article also touches on the abrupt end of the marriage and adoption of Alan and Walden and Alan's character arc, which many fans found unpleasant.
