‘Two and a Half Men’: How They Killed Off Charlie (Harper) Sheen

Two things died tonight….Charlie Harper and the show Two and a Half Men. Chuck Lorre failed BIG.

I loved it. Ashton was awesome. I can not wait till next week

Im a huge Charlie Sheen fan, but I dont think the new Two and a half men bombed. Its not the same without Charlie Harper, but Ashton Kutcher is an interesting character. The show has potential is you keep your mind open.

sadly Ashton Kutcher is considered talented,and no matter how many times we complain about how the show sucks now, that moron kutcher will still be around to make money, how can an idiot like him be considered talented.He is such a goof

Ashton Kutcher is a horrible actor. Whoever decided to replace Charlie with him is an idiot. They’re on completely different levels of comedy. The show can continue, but it should be renamed and deemed a spin-off. It not longer is “Two and a Half Men”.

ahhh…. BORING

I watched “Two Men” with an open mind and was still mildy disappointed. If the rest of the season is gonna be how Waldon broods around the house because of his ex dumping him, yet still scores as often as Charlie…well, that plot doesn’t interest me in the least. The show is combining Charlie’s character (his success with the ladies) with Allen’s (still hurting from his divorces) and that adds up to a “been there, done that” scenario. For the record, Ashton is NOT trying to re-create is “70′s show” character by being ditzy. The writers decided his personality and he’s portraying it the best way he can. You know. ACTING.

I really wanted to like this, but can’t see it workng as a series with Ashton Kucher doing a warmed-over Jim Ignatowski character (from Taxi) to Alan Cryer’s neurotic Alan Harper. Chuck Lorre should have done the smart thing, extended the funeral scene and Alan’s angst over the house, wrapped with Walden buring the house with enough money for Alan to move out, and made this an hour-long conclusion for last season.

Even David Letteman made it clear that the new Two and half men was terrible.Aston Kutcher is an actor for the mindless. Oh by the way, the way he acted on that 70′s show is the way he act’s in real life. He acted the same way on his show punked. Kutcher is a comedian for the simple minded. What did his wife Demi once say? ( I don’t have 3 kid’s I have 4, including Ashton) cause he acts so goofy. All I saw was Him trying to act like Kelso from that 70′s show. He couldn’t keep that 70′s show going after Topher grace (Eric) left and he won’t keep two and a half men going. It takes a certain person to enjoy a dufus like Kutcher lame attempt at acting. Plus he’s getting a tad bit old to play the mindless simpleton.

Well I liked it. Loved the little nods to Dharma and Greg, too. Charlie’s antics had lost their charm a few seasons back, nothing to do with C Sheen; let’s just say C Harper’s demise was no surprise, it was inevitable. For those of you calling “bring back Charlie”? – not gonna happen. And apparently Ihave more faith in the supporting cast than many of you. It was not the Charlie Sheen Show.

It was an OK, but not great, start. I’ll reserve judgement until the third or fourth episode.

Didn’t even watch it. yawn.

Jury is still out for me. I hope the new “shtick” isn’t going to be Kutcher running around naked.

tm a big fan of two and ahalf men and i throught the new show was good……i hope it last

Jon Lovitz: “How much blow can Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill two and a half men.”…….. This Question and answer is true in 2 ways….. Charlie did a lot of blow, and 2 and a half men are dead. Kutcher is not an actor, nor is he funny.. he is a simpleton and some people think he is cute. If 2 and half men last the season, I would be very surprised… either way, I won’t be watching it.

I read the bits that were available before the airing; it sounded horribly lame. The first 1/3 of the episode is devoted to psychopathic attempts at humor, apparently written by people who had no idea what was the magic of Charlie Harper. Jenna Elfman walks through reprising her role as Dharma (with Greg). Waldon Schmidt ($1.3B from a software sale to MS) is a flat character made even more so by the show’s preoccupation with descriptions of him (billionaire, genius, “tripod”). Despite this, Alan Harper is the dead weight on the show; Schmidt is lame, but shows at least a glimmer of potential for becoming the comic relief. Jake (now “16″) provides drama; Berta is as lovable as ever. Rose was simply abused in this episode: she deserved MUCH better. Judith seems sexier, is married to Herb; except for Elfman (who looked hideous: she should’ve just phoned-it-in) and a couple of faces from the funeral, the guests appeared unattractive and were too easily forgettable. Evelyn Harper was delightfully herself, and mostly saved the episode. Even so, it was a remarkably poor launch for the show: if this is what Lorre intends for the rest of the season, I doubt all the episodes for which he’s paying Kutcher will make it to air.

OMG, it wasn’t Charlie that died, 2 & 1/2 men died. The “show” was a total failure. The show was chopped up, the writing was boring, AK’s acting and part were boring, and the plot was boring. (I get so tired of hearing AK brag about how “hung” he says he is, they even inserted it in the “comedy last night”) JC could never carry the show alone. He’s funny, but only as Charlie’s side kick. JC and AK just don’t click. We will be skipping Monday night with CBS at 8:00 pm. Curiosity killed this cat. What a waist of air time. Thank goodness the Roasting of Charlie followed on another channel, so, Monday night was still filled with Charlie. We LOL during the whole show.
2 1/2 MEN DIED LAST NIGHT.

Charlie Sheen seems to have pulled himself together now and admitted that he would have fired himself too. I’ll bet he comes back to the show after the Kutcher bomb. They can definitely make up some crazy story to account for his return. Nobody ever actually saw Charlie Harper’s body; or they could go the Bobby Ewing route and say it was a dream.

I am a big fan of Charlie Harper and the show. I thought the funeral was funny and I laughed through the whole show. I think Ashton did a great job and he is definately a looker. It will be interesting to see how it rolls out but I think they can pull it off. I don’t think bringing back Charlie is going to work because that’s too much water under the bridge. Best to let him rest in peace. I wasn’t sure about Ashton but I think it just might turn out to be even a better show. The Charlie legend was getting old and creepy.

CBS would have been better off setting 2-1/2 out to pasture a couple of years ago. The only one who always finds Ashton Kutcher funny is Ashton Kutcher…smiling at his own jokes even when they’re not funny. He’s no actor, and that was painfuly obviously last night, too. When writers have to resort to fart jokes with the way-more-than-1/2 man, you know the show’s in trouble.

Two and half Men really was awful.. Not funny at all.. Rose killing Charlie just doesn’t make sense.. Rose would never do that. She already new he was a Womanizer.. and could never comitt to one woman, so that story line was soooo unbelievable.. Jake loved Charlie.. he wasn’t even sad. I tried to have a open mind abut the show without Charlie but it just DOESNT work… 2 & 1/2 men is over… Charlie made the show, made it funny.. Berta should follow Charlie to his new show… Now that’s gonna be funny….

Have Rose kidnap Charlie, holding him hostage…the body was just so mangled, “meat”, and then he escapes and comes back. Otherwise, bye bye show. Ashton’s a great actor but it is just not the same w/o Charlie.

The whole program was awful, except for the last few seconds. Bring back Charlie, make this episode someone’s dream and bring back Charlie, or just kill the whole program. Was very painful to watch, even Allen’s character was not funny at all without Charlie to balance it out. BAD, BAD, BAD!

QUICK TEST— How many U.S. Sailors did israel kill when they attacked the U.S.S. Liberty,?? clue? see ussliberty

I just took Two and a Half Men off my Monday night TIVO schedule. It’s been on there since the show started. Whoever decided to replace Charlie Sheen with that talentless hairy creep should have his brain examined. Charlie Sheen is going to be gloating about this for a very long time. Sorry, Chuck, Charlie won. It’s you and the show that just turned into ashes.

Use to be my favorite show. Last night was awful, show can’t survive without Charlie.

I never was a big fan but found it funny in the past, but reality has it Charlie Sheen is half phsyco and dies not deserve such a high paying position in the series. What happend to him , I have no idea, but he is an idiot and a jerk! Of the show makes it or not, I could care less, but Charlie Sheen got what he deserved in the end.

I knew we would get the airheads that only watch because they think Kutcher is hot. Their not watching because he can act. Simpleton’s alway follow their own kind. Go back to your no life twitter twit’s Ashton. You are delusional if you think you can act. It’s Kelso all over again.

Did not like the ending of Charlie ..Did not like that no one was that upset about losing him ..Show was not funny and rather boring….Probably will not watch again. or will only if Charlie’s ghost comes back and saves the show!

Aston needs to go back to tweeting, and leave tha acting to the real actor’s the show was terrible. Half the time it looked like he had to try and remember his line’s.

charlie must be choking with glee………me to…….fkn moron lorie is gonna get the door for this one……..if he was working for me he would be on the street in a flash…….charllie can come back as a ghost ……..visible to just his close family……..the writers could have a field day with that eh?

Im sorry to say that kutcher does not belong on this show. Not funny. Last nights show was a total flop. I am a big fan of this show and I will say this, that my family and I were disappointed beyond belief. The only part that I thought was good was John Stamos part. That was funny. Nothing else. The beginning scene was somewhat not only direspectful but plain stupid. Well they lost my family from watching this show. Too many mistakes and the biggest one was that they actually continued with the show. Well, I guess if they decide to bring back Charlie, they may say that this was all a dream. Remember Dallas?

All they have to do is say Charlie faked his own death and he comes back and kicks Ashton out!!!!
Otherwise , we all must move on and wait for a new Charlie Sheen sit-com!!! Or if they still want Ashton, she can divorce Herb and her and Ashton can move in together!!!!!! There is no hope!!!

GIve it a rest! Ashton can’t act…..Bring back Charlie….. For crying out loud Sheen,s character became creepy. Drunk lothario, glamorising a seedy way of life. Why should his ex bosses have any sympathy for him after the way he treated them? Why should his character have had a dignified end. They portrayed his death as he lived. Furthermore He deserved to be fired.

I am a fan of the show, but was not keen on the last series as Sheen aways looked wasted. I like the Ashton twist and would continue to watch.

Exited to see the opening episode..It was a biggest flop I have ever seen. Does not meet any my expectations.

The show should be renamed. 3 half man.

I miss Charlie too. Oh well.

As to Ashton Kutcher’s acting ability: I’ve seen most everything he has done and he is, indeed a great actor – in the right circumstances. 2-1/2 men is not that circumstance. It stunk. And I lost respect for Ashton for stooping to selling shots of his average bod for ratings. What were you thinking, Aston! Get over yourself. You look like every other guy. I was totally embarrassed that you went to that level to introduce yourself on a show that I was actually looking forward to.
As to story line: I was getting nauseated by Charlie’s x-rated character, and was hoping Ashton could offer something more decent to watch, because the show, itself, was a great one. It could have been, even without the trashy sex life line. Bothers me that the kid in the show has been exposed, all these years, to such a trashy plot. Wonder where his life will be in 10 years, as a result of being exposed to what evolved into this garbage.
I won’t watch again, and I’m sorry my 12 year old grandson actually watched it after his parents tapped it for themselves to watch when I came to visit. Had I known how trashy it would be, I’d have deleted it so he couldn’t watch it on the sly!
Ex-Fan and highly disappointed, disgusted…

well the headlines read top ratings for two and half men but thats only because of curiosity lets see what the ratings will be next week and next month. a big disappointment but i knew it would be yet tried to keep an open mind. sorry ashton but you’re just not funny and whats the deal with the naked sceens…i don’t get it but i have a feeling that this is something thats going to be ongoing in each episode. well we didn’t see a body and rose is nuts so we can’t believe half of what she’s saying so lets just hope thats the window for charlie to return

I liked it! Jon Cryer was ALWAYS the funny one on the show and Charlie looked awful in the last season…so it’s nice to see some new blood!

I THINK ASHTON LOOKS LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER FOR THE SHOW, LIKE NOT THE APROPPIATE GUY TO PLAY CHARLIE SHEEN ROLE… Its like Al Pacino Vs a ganster of 2010 !!!

You need to bring back charlie, the show sucks without him :(

Shock!!!! My friend who is living with herpes told me a report from CNN said that the world’s largest herpes dating and support site MeetHerpes.com which is powered by plenty of fish now has more than 1,560,000 members. Also, more than 80% of members on the site are good looking and sexy.

Agree with everyone who was disappointed. Producers need to reconsider and negotiate with Charlie to bring him back. They have great writers but Ashton needs to go! WE WANT CHARLIE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible show will not worth watching anymore…bring back Charlie

Good day! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates

I think they need to dump Ashton and make Herb (Alan’s ex wife’s new husband) a central character by having Judith divorce him,forcing him to move into Charlie’s house. Alan and Herb have proved they have good comedy timing together onscreen already,they could keep the title of the show,and do away with what will ultimately bring the show to an end…Ashton Kutcher.

The show was garbage. The whole show only worked because of Sheen. No one likes kutchers movies or shows. That 70s show was good aside from him. And now that point was proven with this season premier. It was the most ridiculous show I’ve ever seen. Hang up the towel on two and a half men. Charlie is gone and the show is over. They should have killed the show off and buried it before ever letting Ashton attempt to act again.

Chuck, you messed up! You had the best show on TV, best cast, best writers, what you got now is a grown man running around with no clothes on acting like a 3 year old. Swallow your pride, if you can’t do that, think about the “MONEY”. Charlie had a melt down, he is back and has held out his hand, take it Chuck. The way I see it, you got 3 choices:
Bring Charlie back
Go to Mars and find another Rock Star with Tiger Blood
Dig a hole in your back yard and bury this series real deep
Have watched it twicw, won’t watch again. Always got reruns I guess !!

Im a very big fan of “2 and a half men” and im a very big fan of ashton kutcher , BUT together the show doesnt go. ITS Ruined i hate to say.

If they stop pressing the laugh button so much it might be funnier’ I agree with two totally different comedies, Allen was funny with Smooth Charlie but know you have Allen and Ashton being funny it’s to much, the Kidd acts more mature! They should of ended this show and started a new one!

Abc really screwd it up now i have to find a new show to wathatch. Ashton sucks hes not up to par. Not only that but the episodes story line sucks. Oh and they couldnt find a better way to remove the character.

I tried to watch the show and give it a chance. It is not the same without charlie. It is sad it was an amazing show. Removing Charlie Sheen was a very bad business decision.

I said that I would not watch the new Two and a Half Men, but I did. I had to see it for myself. You know, it was just okay. Nobody can replace Charlie. The house looks lonely, Alan looks worried, Berta shouldn’t live there, etc, etc. It’s just all screwed up. I watch all of the reruns every night, which I’ve seen over and over again. I just can’t get enough. I loved that show. (the one with Charlie). Chuck Lorre, please bring Charlie back. Make his death a bad dream, and bring him back. You both can remain RICH.

Ok… this show tanked! It should NOT be called Two and A Half men any longer… it needs to be RE-titled One and 2/3rds! Its like a dad with 2 teenage sons… one with acne for his biggest worries.. the other that needs a whole new life adjustment! Charlie was the best thing that happened to this show.. he made this show… and now they have nothing! No offense Jon Cryer! :)

Ok so all you simpletons on here who say Ashton can’t act and that he acts like his “70s show” character in real life… For one, I doubt you have ever met him in real life so how the hell would you know, and secondly, I have seen all of his movies and shows and he is a wonderful actor! He acts the part he is given, so of you don’t like the character, blame the people who created that character. Don’t be jealous, for a “talentless simpleton” Ashton sure did well for himself! I don’t care for the show now, but as an actor, Ashton is awesome, even though he was stopping with this role.

There’s so many better ways they could have written out Charlie and written in Aston. One word describes the new show, sucks!! Simple as that Ashton does not play the role well what so ever. I honestly think they could have done better with out him!

Such a complete FAIL. You can’t replace Charlie with the the talentless loser we have all grown to hate and look at with disgust known as Ashton Kutcher. I just watched every episode up till season 7 episode 1, and I WILL NOT watch any more unless its from seasons 1-6. This is an abomination, its travesty of what 2 and a 1/2 men once was.

bring Baston ACK CHAR iLYbring back CHARLEY bring him back soon realll SOONNNN come on back charlie we all need you back to save the SHOW

Get rid of Ashton….HE IS NOT FUNNY!!!!! Jon Cryer is hysterical….with Charlie, they have a chemistry like they are real brothers….I bought into it. I Liked the way Charlie tried to be kind and loving, it really made his character more lovable!
PLEASE BRING CHARLIE BACK!!!
P.S. It should say something that people are still blogging about this monthe later!!!!

I dont think the show is bad or writers are bad! Charlie Sheen became an idiot & made everyone hate him! he was gone & everyone seen that coming! Ashton gets to work again & his marriage fails at his start (DEMI INSECURITIES) & I am sure their are alot of Sheen & Demi fans that are on here talking trash! Sad!! They need to find another direction for their anger!! THE SHOW ISNT ALL BAD!! GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE!!
