The fifth season of ''
Two and a Half Men'' originally aired on
CBS from September 24, 2007, to May 19, 2008. A total of only 19 episodes were aired due to the
2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Unlike the previous seasons, the Season 5 DVD came without a gag reel. The DVD also titled "Tight's Good" as "Shoes, Hats, Pickle Jar Lids", and the "Previously on ''Two and a Half Men''" recap seen in the original broadcast of "Fish in a Drawer" was initially not included on DVD. This was the shortest season in the history of the show until the
eighth season ended after 16 episodes due to the firing of
Charlie Sheen.
