New “Two and a Half Men” Draws Nearly 28 Million Viewers
EmailThe new “Two and a Half Men” last night drew 27.7 million viewers, according to Deadline.com. It was the largest audience ever for the show which is in its ninth season.
If you happen to be one of the people that missed it, the new season opened with a coffin and Alan (Jon Cryer) giving a eulogy for his brother, Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen).
“It’s a sad day for all of us,” Alan says, and blond woman at the service yells out, “speak for yourself.”
This is followed by more revelry and in quick succession, gals in the audience say, “He gave me herpes,” “Chlamydia,” and a third quipped, “Vaginal warts.”
Charlie’s brother turns the honors over to Rose, his brother’s stalker on the show (Melanie Lynskey), who was with him when he died. So how did he die?
Charlie slipped on a Metro platform in Paris and fell into an on-coming train, and his body just exploded like a balloon full of meat, Rose said.
After the familiar “Two and a Half Men” theme song, Charlie’s ashes were delivered to the apartment in the mail. When Alan accidentally drops Charlie’s remains, we see Ashton Kutcher through the cloud of ashes.
He comes in through the balcony and asks to use the phone. The stranger, who apparently tried to kill himself over his wife leaving him, finally introduces himself. He is Waldon Schmidt.
Waldon, who threw himself in the ocean in despair over a woman (something Charlie would never do), likes to walk around naked and picks up right where Charlie left off. He goes out for drinks with Alan and has sex with two women the first night.
He has moved right in.
Schmidt says, “I dig your house. I think I’m going to buy it.”

Did watch to give a chance…but big fail… good rating now, but next time, in the dirt.

Yea, good luck seeing that again after last nights show. The only laugh was the ratings (easily the best joke of the night).
Posted by: pgdion | September 20, 2011, 1:42 pm 1:42 pm
And it really sucked. Not funny! Bad taste! Will never watch again.
Posted by: Carol | September 20, 2011, 1:48 pm 1:48 pm
Hadn’t watched in several years. Gave the show a chance last night. I don’t think I laughed out loud even once. Daughter ended up reading a book. Husband went outside to “check the weather”. We aren’t even sure we’ll give this one a 2nd chance.
Posted by: Carla | September 20, 2011, 1:49 pm 1:49 pm
Yes I was part of that large audience- regrettably! Will not watch another show. I did not laugh once out loud. All of the characters hit an all time low. It was awful.
Posted by: richard roberts | September 20, 2011, 1:55 pm 1:55 pm
The new show was infantile. They tried to sell it with nudity. Ashton Kutcher acted dumb as usual. No magic like Charlie Sheen. Also Lorre really stuck it to Sheen in the way he died and people being disrespectful at the funeral and at his house. Especially his mother. Really… who does that…The show is two and a half men, but the kid is bigger now than his father. They should have just ended the show if they couldn’t get a good actor to replace Sheen. I know that Hugh Grant would have been a much better pick. Can’t blame him for turning it down. I’ll just keep watching the reruns until I get sick of it. I thought that Two and a Half Men was the best comedy show on the planet….not any more.

will watch for ashton………….HOTTTT
Posted by: teri bowers | September 20, 2011, 1:58 pm 1:58 pm
again i will say, will watch to see ashton kutcher, too hot not to watch!!!
Posted by: teri bowers | September 20, 2011, 2:00 pm 2:00 pm
I watched it and was extremely disappointed. Nothing funny, poor story line, Ashton definately CANNOT replace Charlie. He did a very poor job. I will definately NOT be watching it again….will stick to the reruns as that is how Two and a Half Men should be. Charlie should still be on the show OR they should have just done a run off and gone another direction. The show is done.
Posted by: Gloria | September 20, 2011, 2:05 pm 2:05 pm
I thought the naked Ashton thing was pretty dumb. But I will watch for a couple more episodes before passing my own personal final judgment. Let’s face it – after all the drama and all the hype, did ANYONE think that this show could possibly live up to that? A good cast needs time to gel, to mesh, to work into a decent comedic rhythym. So give it a chance. Besides, what the hell else IS there to watch on Monday night at 9? Some reality garbage show?
Posted by: Searambler | September 20, 2011, 2:07 pm 2:07 pm
The amount of views seems to be the main topic. But, no one’s saying if it was good or not.
Posted by: joann | September 20, 2011, 2:22 pm 2:22 pm
Thought the funeral scene was very over the top. Thought it was slow moving until the very end. Maybe there is hope.
Posted by: smoochie | September 20, 2011, 2:24 pm 2:24 pm
Not the biggest fan of the show, but I loved the cameo’s of “Dharma and Greg” and John Stamos.
Posted by: myintx | September 20, 2011, 2:29 pm 2:29 pm
It was a show of Charlie bashing done in very poor taste from the opening to his ashes in the dustbuster. Ashton was completely nude half of the show. I guess Demi and Ashton are both nudists. Rose describes how Charlie’s body exploded when hit by the train. Come on, Chuck Lorre. Rose would have been devestated, as would have Jake and you didn’t let them grieve. All you did was stick it to Charlie Sheen. Just a dickwad way of taking Charlie out of the show.
Posted by: kim | September 20, 2011, 3:02 pm 3:02 pm
Oh yes, and then implying a night of sex with a man when John Stamos came in. GEEZ!
Posted by: kim | September 20, 2011, 3:03 pm 3:03 pm
I will give Ashton a fair chance, I’ll watch it a couple more times but the old rehashed sleeping with every woman who looks his way is getting tired in this sitcom. Tasteless jokes and the same old storyline are boring. At least have Ashton be a different kind of character than Charlie sheen. I realize for the immature men who like the thought that a guy can sleep with a different woman every nite its appealing but for us women, just stuiped. I’m sure the writers get paid alot and this is all they can come up with????
Posted by: Sue | September 20, 2011, 3:07 pm 3:07 pm
Oh, and the poorest in tast was during Charlie’s funeral when Rose describes Charlie as exploding meat and Jake comments he’s hungry. I’m surprised the cast didn’t have a problem with their lines when reading this crap. I’ll give Ashton a fair chance. I’ll continue to watch the show unless I just don’t like it. But what Chuck Lorre did to Charlie Sheen’s character was the lowest of the low. Charlie Sheen will rise up from the ashes. I’m not so sure 2 and a half men will though.
Posted by: kim | September 20, 2011, 3:24 pm 3:24 pm
Did not like the demise of Charlie..People on the show did not grieve enough..was not very funny..if it was supposed to be? Only watched out of curiosity..doubt I will watch again.. Maybe Charlie will come back as a ghost and save the show..no, it will never happen….

The worst show ever ever. What a shame for the producers. Quit your jobs, please.
Posted by: ronald | September 20, 2011, 3:56 pm 3:56 pm
This was the worst tv ever. #1. The way he died was stupid, not funny. Note to writers: there is a difference between stupid and funny. #2. We have known these characters for 8 seasons; they would not have acted like Charlie’s death didn’t matter. #3. Fart jokes do not make up for bad writing. #4. Petty vengence does not make up for bad writing. It would have been far better to make the episode a year or so past Charlie’s death and just put in a “I still can’t believe he’s gone” line here and there. #5 By turning Charlie into a diseased, triple-mortgaged, bisexual sociopath uncared for even by his own family, they have gone into the past and taken everything we’ve known & loved about 2.5 men and flushed it down the toilet…. which means there is no reason to watch them in the future in either new episiodes or reruns. good job Lorre! You’ve ruined 9 seasons of TV with one episode. Sheen was right. He’s winning & you suck.
Posted by: nicki | September 20, 2011, 4:06 pm 4:06 pm
Was the funniest show on television and is now a joke itself. Way to go Chuck. Do you feel like a big man after destroying Charlie’s character? Tasteless and sure to lose ratings every week. In fact, I plan on turning away anything with your name attached Chuck.
Posted by: Felix | September 20, 2011, 4:20 pm 4:20 pm
Boring, not funny, bad writing. Ashton is a snooze. It is the same sex joke week after week, after week.
Posted by: rick | September 20, 2011, 4:33 pm 4:33 pm
I loved the show. When Allen spilled the ashes and we say Waldon in the window was hilarious. I think Allen makes the show anyway. He was the brunt of Charlies jokes and dished it it right back and I think he will do a great job with Waldon… Yes I do know they are just actors..
not real people. :)
Posted by: Terri T | September 20, 2011, 4:36 pm 4:36 pm
Dislike the show now and won’t watch. Bring back Charlie. No on can replace him. I agree that this seemed to be a show bashiing Charlie. Let by gones be by gones and bring him back. Naked Ashton really turned us off as does his long hair and beard. What have you done to the show? Too bad, please please bring Charlie back. Forgive and forget – we all have around the nation.
Posted by: Mary | September 20, 2011, 4:54 pm 4:54 pm
I was very disappointed how they tried to make us watch the show by bringing Dharma and Greg on the Show. That was a really cheap trick.
Posted by: Julia | September 20, 2011, 5:03 pm 5:03 pm
I didn’t even watch the show, it’s entertaining enough just to read people’s opinions of it.
Posted by: randomschmo | September 20, 2011, 5:20 pm 5:20 pm
I don’t mind that the killed him off, but they should have left us with good memories of the character. It would have been funnier to have it turn out that he was a saint and supported an orphanage, women’s shelter & even funded a cure for breast cancer because he loved them so much. Way better than vaginal warts and farts.
Posted by: fabio | September 20, 2011, 5:41 pm 5:41 pm
That was the worst episode of two and a half men ever. I watched, but wished I hadn’t wasted my time. I was curious to see how they were going to write out Charlie and introduce Ashton. I won’t be watching any more episodes. Bring on the reruns.
Posted by: Kathe Murchison | September 20, 2011, 5:43 pm 5:43 pm
Went from best show to worst show……. Ashton is horrible not even close to funny. Way to go chuck you douche!! Hopefully someone with more brains than you will get Charlie back or this show will be down the toilet before 5 episodes. Call me when sheen comes back otherwise no one is home to watch tour p.o.s show!!
Posted by: troy | September 20, 2011, 5:55 pm 5:55 pm
SHOW IS OVER… CLOSE THE BOOK…TIME TO MOVE ON…
Posted by: Lucia | September 20, 2011, 6:14 pm 6:14 pm
Wow I am really shocked I expected the writers to do better…Ashton Kutcher did his best and he a good actor. I blame Chuck Lorre obviously its the money with him. Look just put the show out of its missery and move on. Chuck Lorrey a;so should be fired by the network all he did was lash out at Charlie Sheen he basically used this show for his peresonal venue with Sheen. LORREY GROW UP!!!!!
Posted by: Harry | September 20, 2011, 6:35 pm 6:35 pm
The only real comedy was remembering Charlie the way he was. Cheap shot funeral and nudity, these guys don’t really know their audience at all. Sadly, Two and half Men was in the coffin. It’s already dead put it in the ground. All this pale rehash will do is taint all that has gone before .. or is that the intention?
Posted by: Paul | September 20, 2011, 6:50 pm 6:50 pm
What a load of RUBBISH. This show is not the same with out Charlie. Best thing to do now is shelf it. Guys come on. Alan trying to be the funny one??? Either bring back Charlie or drop the show. Not working for me at all..
Posted by: Art | September 20, 2011, 7:06 pm 7:06 pm
2 and 1/2 men was a Charlie Sheen show. They needed to start from scratch; it will not do any near good as it was before.
Posted by: Ray | September 20, 2011, 7:22 pm 7:22 pm
That was the The season premier? It stunk and I wish I never wasted my time with watching this. The characters were unrealistic at the most. It was petty and unreasonable. Maybe Charlie will come back and save the show. The relationship dynamic will not be the same, and I was disappointed with the script all together. I will all watch the re-runs and will not be watching this season.
Posted by: Greg | September 20, 2011, 7:30 pm 7:30 pm
This totally SUCKS without Charlie!!!!! Only good parts was the beginning when they were focused on Charlie. Had to turn off when Ashton came on acting like an idiot. Won’t be tuning in next week. Sad for the other actors and actresses, but PLEASE ABC, DROP THE SHOW!!!!!!
Posted by: JennDarrin | September 20, 2011, 7:32 pm 7:32 pm
I think we’ve all been had. Rose made Charlie jealous by inventing a husband. So Charlie runs away with her to Paris. Now Charlie has suddenly died, and conveniently, there’s no body. I’m wondering if Charlie Sheen, who has been awful nice towards his old bosses recently, is suddenly going to re-appear on the show, claiming he faked his death to get back at Rose. Then Ashton will be revealed as an old buddy of Charlie’s, and will step aside so Charlie can resume living at his Malibu home. I’m not even sure the family and old lovers don’t have something to do with the con, the way they were talking at the funeral.
Regardless, the nude scenes were stupid, and the dialog infantile. I watched with my 86 year old mother, and don’t like to have to explain “hung like a bull moose” to her.

Big Fan of the Show for years thought they done a great job, Very FUNNY great writers and cast.
Ashton and Cryer make a great Team. Keep Up the good work. Will keep watching and .
Ineed to try and get Tickets to a live taping. Still a Fan.Keep doing what you do it works for me/
Good Luck to Cast & Crew
Posted by: Greg | September 20, 2011, 9:22 pm 9:22 pm
If I would have just been judging the show in no comparrison to the previous episodes , then yes I suppose it would have been “pretty good” !! But when it was suppose to live up to Charlie then NO it was most certinally a. JOKE
Posted by: Anniegirl | September 20, 2011, 9:57 pm 9:57 pm
I loved the show last night. I thought Ashton was fantastic. Charlie was starting to get a bit old looking and just looked creepy with the young girls on his arm. With Ashton the show is now younger, hotter and sexier…I noticed most of the complaints about Ashton were from men…..Nuff said.
Posted by: Sandra | September 20, 2011, 10:18 pm 10:18 pm
Now, who’s the WINNER??????-Charlie!!! Even though he will be paid double, to come back, is better to stay away from the show and be the Boss- his own show -the best choice.And take the cast with you.Who’s laughing at the end is laughing better!!!!! CHANGE IS GOOD!!!! because ,change the place ,change the luck!
Posted by: Lucy | September 21, 2011, 12:23 am 12:23 am
Ashton acted like a big dumb dork throughout and destroyed the show. He has NO talent. I believe he was the single person most responsible for killing “THAT 70′S SHOW”. People all over the world can’t stand him (me too), his face, acting, voice and he just plain sucks. Why in the hell would anyone hire this kiss of death for a production? And then again, it might very well be Ashton is under that producers desk pretending to be a girl (might as well be) and using the name ANNIEGIRL!
Posted by: tom | September 21, 2011, 1:11 am 1:11 am
I have seen better things floating in my toilet. This new show really sucks more than I’ve ever seen anything suck before! Get Sheen back fast or this entire production will go down the toilet as fast as the better looking things in my toilet just did!

FAIL!
Of course they all tuned in, next week they lose at least 8-10 million viewers.
You know the air quote “they don’t get it”? Lorre does not get this was the “Charlie” show with a support cast. Now it’s support plus a guy that does not fit into this picture at all.
Lorre needs to buck up and re-hire Charlie and make this all a dream. Right now it’s one bad dream that will be cut from the line up.

What did Chuck was thinking destroying a so loved character? Now people just hate you Chuck!
Posted by: Leon | September 21, 2011, 3:15 pm 3:15 pm
Without a doubt this show should of been canceled the second Charlie Sheen was fired, this is a joke, its so bad. Ashton Kutcher has no depth as an actor and always plays kelso from that 70′s show, the new Two and a Half Men. . . . Canceled by the end of the 1st season.
Posted by: Liam | September 21, 2011, 3:53 pm 3:53 pm
I enjoyed it much more with Ashton!!!
Posted by: Debbie | September 21, 2011, 5:52 pm 5:52 pm
I can see a young rich man acting this way but not a creepy drunk! Charlie Sheen is nasty!! Anyone would have been better than Charlie in my opinion!!
Posted by: Debbie | September 21, 2011, 5:54 pm 5:54 pm
Besides, the show is just beginning and more appealling to females :) Thanks Chuck!!
Posted by: Debbie | September 21, 2011, 5:56 pm 5:56 pm
I thought the show was its normal self, dumb, stupid, lewd, and all around stank. Ashton did a reasonable job and comments about how bad he was are truly due to his looks. Charlie Sheen was always problematic, long before his firing. Let the man take his money and go to re-hab, his time is over. Let the show go on without him for the actors’ sake. Any actor who puts his co-worker’s job in jeapordy just because he is the star need to be gone from a show. But don’t hate Ashton because of his looks, he couldn’t possibly make that show any worse. Get a life haters.
Posted by: tru sight | September 21, 2011, 6:26 pm 6:26 pm
I think Ashton has no appeal and the episode was one of the worst shows I have ever endured. The show really really sucked.
Posted by: pat | September 21, 2011, 6:42 pm 6:42 pm
I don’t understand what people are complaining about. I thought the show was great. They played it just like they should have. I was wondering how they were gonna make a funeral scene funny and they succeeded in my opinion. All the women in his life complaining about him give them “deseases” was classic. I think the writers definately separated the character Ashton plays from the way Charlie was, and thats a good thing. I love Charlie, and still watch the re-runs (i own all 8 seasons on DVD), but i’m still gonna watch the new and improved two and half men. Keep it going Jon Cryer, Angus Jones, Chuck Lorre, and Ashton Kutcher!. I love it!
Posted by: Jye | September 22, 2011, 1:24 pm 1:24 pm
The funeral was terrible, so awkward.
Follow up to the funeral was awful.
Ending was stupid.
Should have just canceled the show.
You can’t recreate chemistry like that.
Sheen was the show.
Show’s over.
Posted by: Yashar | September 22, 2011, 4:31 pm 4:31 pm
Kind of reminds me of Ashton’s 70′s show sitcom.
When you start replacing core characters, its time to end the show.
Otherwise, it just lingers on for a painful couple of years.
And does a dis-service to the memory of the show, when it was good.
Ever heard of going out on top?
Such a shame.
Posted by: Yashar | September 22, 2011, 4:34 pm 4:34 pm
A naked Ashton….So funny….Please, put his clothes back on. Most woman don’t like little boys bodies. His body is as bland and as uninteresting as he is. They should just call the show, Three Morons, cause without the wit of Sheen all you are left with is three losers. I find it unbelievable that the producer, idiot that he is, tried to have the last word with the funeral scene and the fact that Charlie was made to be broke, disease ridden, hated by all the women in his life and not loved by his own family.
I hope the show bombs. I hope Charlie has the last laugh.
Posted by: Casey | September 22, 2011, 7:17 pm 7:17 pm
Watch it for 30 seconds. I will continue to watch re-runs with the original cast. no creativity what soever. Big FAIL.
Posted by: Wain | September 22, 2011, 10:49 pm 10:49 pm
I am surprised and disappointed that the original cast of two and Half Men agreed to participate in the new (disgustingly bad taste, puerile and unamusing) series. Especially Jon Cryer, who is suposedly one of Charlie Sheen’s friends. I watched 6 minutes of the first episode and switched the tv off. Never Again
Posted by: ENGLISHDOLL | September 23, 2011, 7:00 pm 7:00 pm
Will be the last time I will watch this show. Its no longer funny just nasty.
Would have been better to just have ended the series.
Posted by: Jono | September 24, 2011, 1:03 am 1:03 am
Although I like Ashton, 2 & 1/2 men was not very entertaining at all w/o sheen. I thought it would be pretty good w Ashton, but it is not a good show. Maybe the show will get better, but then again maybe not.
Posted by: Dee | September 26, 2011, 2:44 pm 2:44 pm
I miss Charlie :(
I really wanted to like the show, but I just couldn’t. It was beyond dumb. I don’t understand why Chuck Lorre and Charlie can’t reconcile. This is a huge slap in the face to all of the fans who have watched the show for all of these years and made it what it is.
Mr. Lorre,
It would be best to listen to the fans of your shows. You killed off one of the best characters on TV, and I will never watch anything that you are involved in again. That funeral was distasteful and malicious. SHAME ON YOU.
Posted by: Kayla | September 26, 2011, 9:29 pm 9:29 pm
What a horrible mistake… Ashton kutcher or any other replacement will be a huge flop. Letting charlie go will prove to be the end of this once great show… Cheers to the end of two and half men. Ps ashton kutcher, really? Hes horrible
Posted by: Ryan | September 26, 2011, 9:30 pm 9:30 pm
As I suspected it was very weak. Ashton just doesn’t have the right personality to pull a Charlie. It is simply not funny at all. He is certainly trying but he is just not funny. And by the way, the attempt of trying to pull more audience by having him naked was absolutely a joke with no class. I guess I’ll have to find something else for my DVR to record.
Posted by: Atzil | September 26, 2011, 9:40 pm 9:40 pm
Sorry 2.5 ~ very disappointing. Not funny, Ashton along with dumb and naked are not what we are interested in! Bring Charlie back from the dead or find a new guy with character and some brains! Alan, Jake and Berta are awesome but they dont click with the new set guy. Either turn it off or do something to fix it!
Thank gawd for reruns! You rock Charlie!

Just watched the second episode, not going to watch again. I like Aston, love Charlie but what a hot mess Chuck made out of this. Sorry, Bring Back Charlie or you WILL have a canceled show. Look what happens when two men try to play the big man, no one wins. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast, not their fault, again, just two men trying to win and everyone loses!
Posted by: Laura | September 27, 2011, 12:53 am 12:53 am
Watched the second show, fell asleep, watched it again today, and I can see why I fell asleep. The show sucks. All they did was take an old show, and use the same dialogue, but substitute Walden for Charlie. I am done watching it,, it will never make it,, Ashton is so goofy,,
Cut charlies pay, chew him out,, but bring him back,, or your show is over…….. read the blogs producers,, its no good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: sunflower | September 27, 2011, 11:04 am 11:04 am
First show not bad so watched the second & not sure I’m gonna watch it again. Bring Charlie back! You can keep Ashton if u want but the show still sucks w/o Charlie….big time!
Posted by: Dana | September 27, 2011, 2:56 pm 2:56 pm
Absolutely terrible without Charlie Sheen – his BOSSES should have been fired by CBS.
Get rid of Ashton’s character, period. If they aren’t going to have Charlie on there; then they have to add more depth to the old characters..Alan, Berta, Rose – not this absolute nonsense about a billionaire who just happens to show up….
And just what was that argument about it being a family show (the partial reason that they used to fire Charlie Sheen?) – like Charlie said – it was NEVER a familly show…and how could you explain all of the talk at the funeral to your kids? wow.
Fire the bigwigs who chose to get rid of Charlie –and bring him back…..
Posted by: NC | September 27, 2011, 4:27 pm 4:27 pm
I have Watched Two and Half for as long as Charlie was on the Show. I have tried to watch the Show for the pass two viewing and i am Disappointed. Ashton is still acting like he’s on “That 70′s Show…. Charlie was Smooth and is the one that Level Headed on the Show. He was’nt like “Alan” that acts all Nervous and Nercotic.
THE NEW SHOW NOW HAVE TOW NERCOTIC ACTORS THAT TAKES AWAY THE BALANCE OF THE SHOW…..Ashton needs to start Acting Smooth and He needs to Shave..THE SHOW IS TOO CHILDISH AND GAY.
Posted by: wayne smith | September 27, 2011, 4:36 pm 4:36 pm
I am a HUGE fan of Two and a half Men!!!!! I own all of the DVD sets and laugh still to every episode. Was so excited about new season and am a Kutcher fan also but whomever is writing this material should be fired!!!! Have watched both new episodes not funny!!!! Ashton should have appeared in the show as Charlies long lost son who inherited everything and was a character like Charlie (although NO one can replace him)!!!! Chuck Lorre should have kissed Sheen’s ass to get him back and let the show continue to be GREAT!!!!!!
Posted by: Karlafan | September 27, 2011, 10:19 pm 10:19 pm
OH MY THIS WAS THE WORST EVER, SO I GAVE IT A SECOND TRY AND WILL NOT WATCH IT AGAIN TILL CHARLIE COMES BACK…( NO BODY, HUMMM ROSE HAS HIM AS A HOSTAGE IN PARIS,) BRING BACK CHARLIE, I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WHO SINGS THE THEME AND WATCHES IT WITH US EVERYDAY, BUT NOW HE JUST WATCHES RERUNS WITH CHARLIE, BOTH EPISODES WITH ASTHON HE GOT UP AND LEFT….TELL U SOMETHING WHEN A TWO YEAR OLD WON’T EVEN WATCH IT…..

Real garbage – surely you could pick a better replacement for Charley than that hippy looking thing, also that teen age kid or half man was ok when he was younger but he now stinks. Get with the casting — or quit.

I was so disappointed that they didn’t even show Jake as being the least bit sad, not a tear, after all he and Charlie shared growing up. Stupid. And then his Mother selling real estate, come on, that is stupid as well. Not at her own son’t funeral. They could have left the jokes in with the old girlfriends, but at least show the real pain and grief of Charlie’s family. Chuck Lorre is not a grown up. Get over it. Charlie was sick, when he did those public rantings, where is your acceptance and forgiveness? I watched it twice, both times, it sucked and was stupid. one more try this week and that’s it.

I won’t watch two and A half men till they get rid of that no talented Ashton. He can’t act and his comic timing stinks. Bring back Charile even if he is a ghost. He’s be funnier dead then Ashton.

Shame on you Chuck Lorre. You stooped below any level Charlie Sheen ever did. I will not be watching anymore. Watched again Monday to see if the show improved any but it didn’t. Bring back Charlie or thiis viewer is done with the show. Oh well, thank God for my DVR. I tape every rerun episode of the show everyday and and kept in stitches all night until bedtime. The old Two and a Half Men is my favorite show that has ever been on TV. We all love and miss you Charlie. I’ll be 48 in December. Am I too old for you? Wish you were back on the show and all of this garbage and disrespect for you was just a horrible nightmare. Good luck in your future and hoping another network snags you and is a huge success. Also loved you on Spin City with Heather Locklear.

Ashton is a handsome man but that is where it begins and end. His character is a non character. Earth to writers: You have to make us like and want to watch the characters. Ashton acted like a mindless buffoon. Nothing he said was believable, He is not endearing, I kept wondering where they were taking us with this guy. His character is lackluster, aimless, stupid and boring.

Charlie Sheen was the reason I watched the show. Now it ROTS. I always liked Kutcher…but his character blows in Two and a Half Men. Jake is too old and Alan and Berta are disgusting and now we have a big stupid cry baby to add too the pot and it’s not entertainment at all. I deleted the series from my DVR. It’s just a waste of time and space. We Miss you Charlie.

Two and a Half Men used to be a favorite of mine and my husband too. Get rid of Ashton – he can’t act and his character is dumb acting. Berta is like a dirty old man (only she is woman). Raise Charley from the dead (PLEASE>>>>>) The show is no longer that funny…writing was always good and still is, but really getting too sexual (really, the mother age 60-70 having sex with masks and S/M undertones) really over the top. Why don’t executives ever get the hint that you can’t remake a good show (EVER). Once it is done, just accept the fact and have it be done. Watching Two and a Half Men without Charley is no longer a show we enjoy. It’s like trying to re-make Seinfeld without Jerry, or without Kramer, or without Elaine, or without George (it won’t be good). Everybody Loves Raymond wouldn’t have been good without Raymond. All in the Family wouldn’t be good without Archie. Get the hint people. Oh, I wish Charley was back!!!!!

The show has changed for the worst! It is no longer funny! Ashton is HORRIBLE! His part is stupid! Please, BRING Charlie BACK!

THE GHOST OF TWO AND A HALF MEN

I hate to break it to them, but the 2.5 men was ALL Charlie Sheen. Now it’s just a bunch of girly and gross puberty support characters with no one to tie in with.

I just watched the Nov 15th show. Its probably about the 7th show without Charlie. It was the first time I have laughed. Show sucks now.
Posted by: Ray | November 15, 2011, 4:35 pm 4:35 pm
Probably currently the worst sit-com on record

Worst show EVER! Went from a funny show to literally one of the WORST, CHEESIEST shows I have literally ever seen.

Dancing with a gorilla? Seriously? Did I actually see that with my own eyes? I almost cried because I miss the real 2.5 men so much.
Posted by: Carl | December 14, 2011, 7:42 pm 7:42 pm
Whoops…… guess I mistook a tickle fight for dancing! Still made me shake my head though.

Think your doing fine, respects to te Lorre; yet, still from Eloha to Set and so Seth easy sweet Jon. Sweet clove and wondering, still a spark of so tear. At times it seems you don’t notice the warmed over garlic clove. The frantic gas…and well simply tasked and taxed. Bunny notice of stero well not grasp. still grasp catcher easy rabbit ease past meeting and allow sweet child. Anyway!

No offence but this show blows. Charlie was worth two and a half men all by himself. Of course, he got wasted because of his personal life, but the producers should bring him back now that he is sober and healthy; for the sake of this show, because right now it is the worst show by far on CBS. And it makes me cringe every time I watch it. I used to love Two and a Half Men.

Surprised it’s still on. Watched a couple of shows just to give it a chance. It just isn’t good.
