It's incredible how nice Charlie is to Alan

I think season 5 is where Alan starts turning into a real beep That episode where both he and Charlie tried to take each other girlfriends Pretty disturbing.
And yeah, that episode where he wanked everywhere was really gross, but I found it very funny. Especially how he would always play that Mariachi music
In the Walden era he's just terrible though. At least he to an extent continued to be the likeable loser until that. -

Which episode was that? Are you thinking of the one with the French lady and Alan's high school crush("Kind of Like Necrophilia")? If so, I think that was from season 3 or 4. -

Alan would have gladly paid Charlie a rent if he didn't already have to spend his income for Judith's alimony. Actually he tried to get rid of that issue by hiring a laywer who however fell victim to Charlie's playboy antics. So at the end it was Charlie's fault that he still had to support his brother. Also in the early seasons Alan was actually quite self-sufficient as far as houshold chores were concerned. He even tried to convince Charlie to be more frugal and independent.
But over time being exposed to Charlie's lifestyle Alan's enthusiasm and moral standards began to wane, eventually getting the worst of him.

In season 7, Alan inherits a clock worth a very large amount of money. He suggests he could use the money to pay back a bit of what he owes or put it into jakes college fund, but even jake knows Alan plans to spend the money on himself. Plus we find out in season 4 he has a nice amount of money put away that he takes off the books at his office, i doubt he just stopped that. He steals from Charlie and Walden without a thought, and even steals from his ex wife.

You're pretty much right. Alan never seemed to take any initiative to be on his way to moving out of Charlie's house. Charlie even called off his marriage to Mia when he realized that Alan would have to move out. And Alan continued the same behavior when Walden bought the house.

Well then ya gotta hand it to Jon Cryer as a great actor that he was hardly likable. The writers made a leech and Jon went with it and it paid off for the show.
BUT yeah after awhile the character gets a little old.
