"Castration and Scallops" -- Charlie helps Alan cope with his lifelong obsession to get women's approval, on TWO AND A HALF MEN, Monday, Nov. 28 (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Rob Schiller directed the episode from a story by Eddie Gorodetsky and Mark Roberts, and a teleplay by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn, two of the series' executive producers.

Alan organizes a family dinner to celebrate the publication of a newspaper article that calls him a "good doctor, good neighbor and a good guy," but he's crushed when his mother, Evelyn, isn't impressed. After drowning his sorrow in many drinks, he has a life-changing epiphany and vows to a skeptical Charlie that he is no longer going to grovel for validation from his mother and the other women in his life.
