The sixth season premiere episode ‘Taterhead Is Our Love Child’ sees Charlie (Charlie Sheen) fall into every philanderer’s worst nightmare as he encounters an ex-girlfriend (guest star Rena Sofer, 24, Heroes) whose son bears an uncanny resemblance to him.  This, of course, poses all sorts of paternity-related anxiety for Charlie, who prides himself on being the number 1 bachelor in Malibu. 

 

This is not the first time Charlie has found himself in a tricky situation when it comes to the opposite sex. The close of Season 5, saw him try resist temptation when he met the grown-up daughter of the woman he was dating and realised they'd met before. Yet, Season 6 does find Charlie, and his tightly wound brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and nephew Jake (Angus T. Jones), experience things they’ve never done before: Charlie attempts to cook, Alan tries to date two women at once and a teenage Jake (whose sudden growth spurt can’t go unnoticed) tries alcohol for the first time. Inevitably, these lessons in life descend into farce and end in disaster.

 

Alan’s ex-wife Judith’s announcement that she’s pregnant with a baby girl later in Season 6 signals more changes on the horizon for the guys, especially Alan who suspects that the baby might be his. Meanwhile, an adolescent Jake finds himself in a new family dilemma as he and his uncle Charlie begin to find themselves fancying the same women. Well, boys will be boys.

 

Despite the complexities of their lives Charlie, Alan and Jake manage to create a family unit that promises to make each of them a better man. Catch a double-bill of their draft antics in all-new episodes on new channel Comedy Central (formerly Paramount Comedy) from Monday 6th April at 9pm
