Anger Management is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Anger Management land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Charlie is a non-traditional therapist specializing in anger management. He has a successful private practice and he performs pro bono counseling for an inmate group at a state prison. Prior to his career as a therapist, he was a major league baseball player whose career was put on the shelf for good by his own struggle with anger issues. Charlie Sheen and Shawnee Smith lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Across 2 seasons (2012–2014), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Anger Management holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Anger Management is a strong candidate. If you have already watched The Bob Newhart Show, Anger Management is a natural next step.
