CBS pulls plug on Two and a Half Men

This. I could eat Melanie Lynskey’s underwear. She’s beyond darling. And some breathtaking bimbettes pass thru that beach house.

Here’s a link to an article from the New York Times saying that cancelling the next season’s episodes will mean a loss of about $250 million in revenues (between Warner Bros, which is the production company, and CBS, which airs the show). The article also says, “the most likely outcome of the confrontation is an untimely end of the series” although it says the decision won’t be made until May.

Other possibilities for next season: Charlie gets eaten by a shark, Jon Cryer and son move in with a previously unmentioned brother, Uncle Joey, played by Jon Stamos.

Keep Cryer and the kid and call it “Two Men”.

I love sitcoms, even crappy ones, but this one never struck a chord with me. Charlie’s personal life is far more entertaining.

Let’s get 64 wacky celebs, bracket 'em and have a March Madness Madness Tournament.

Or, send Charlie off somewhere off-screen (bender, rehab, whatever), and replace him in the house with Martin Mull, who is absolutely excellent as the complete reprobate pharmacist.

Or replace Charlie with a different actor every week, no explanation. One week it’s Jerry O’Connell, the next Scott Baio, then John Hurley… just keep it going.

Charlie says he is going to work next week. It’ll be interesting to see if he shows up and if so if he gets arrested.

I suspect he’s had his parents, his agent, and everyone else around him - including Jon Cryer, Chuck Lorre, and Conchita Farrel - pointing Charlie out as a bad role model since the show started…

That would be so fucking awesome!

You’ve got a problem with me, Khadaji, no dessert for you. Chelsea kept me watchign the show.

Only if there’s a 3D version.

Those are crazy but interesting ideas.

I stopped watching the series part way through the series Chelsea was introduced.

I couldn’t believe she was the woman to end all women for Charlie, the kid wasn’t cute any more, rare appearances by Rose & it just generally wan’t funny any more.

Just kill it find another vehicle for Jon Cryer. & a separate one for the actress who plays Bertha.

Possibly for less than a couple of days only… Should you glance at Mr. Hitchens’ rather tired rant on Slate against Mr. Obama for not leaping on a bandwagon and giving the Tyrant of Libya a good thrashing instanter, half way down the page is a small flash video screen. Select ‘Charlie Sheen’s Rant Animated’, and you will see two tiny teddy-bears delivering the dialogue betwixt Messrs. Jones & Sheen.

Ah, it’s also better on SlateV in a larger version.

Charlie Sheen is booked for the Today Show for tomorrow.

Apparently Sheen ranted on and on again on the morning shows. Honestly, the media aren’t helping him. He obviously needs help, not more attention.

I’ll bet you thought you were joking.

Why not cancel Two and a Half Men and the current William Shatner vehicle and give Charlie his own show called “Shit Our Sheen Says” and just let him rant and riff for a half hour at a time?

From that article:

:smiley:

(Though from what I’ve read, while he’s mellowed significantly with age Martin isn’t wrapped that tight himself.)

I’ve only seen a couple of episodes of T&aHM, but I’d watch that SOSS.

So Charlie Sheen thinks that the way to get back on the show is to insult its creator even more, and demand a lot more money.

I think he missed the part where it was cancelled because he was insulting people and making unrealistic demands.

I confess that I was amused watching the celebrity meltdown - at first. But I just saw a snippet of his interview on one of then news shows and now I just feel sad for him. He is clearly in need of help.
