Charlie Sheen Believes 'Two and a Half Men' Should End

Even Charlie Sheen thinks that the new “Two and a Half Men” with Ashton Kutcher is bad. Though initially supportive of the new version of the show, the actor is now saying it should end with this season.

In saying so, he's clearly echoing the words of millions of fans who have decided to stick to re-runs and now see the Kutcher-starring show. Here are their thoughts on it.

Now promoting his upcoming show, “Anger Management,” based on the movie of the same name, Sheen tells The Hollywood Reporter that “Men” has gotten really bad.

Granted, he definitely has ulterior motives for saying so but, considering that he was initially quite psyched about the new season, his words ring true, if only slightly so.

“I don’t think [Two and a Half Men] should go on past this year. I just think that people are there because there’s nowhere else to go. Yet,” he says.

Luckily, this is where his new show comes in.

“And we [on Anger Management] will not disappoint. At this stage of the game, to deliver a turd? It’s not going to happen. It’s going to be an absolute [expletive]-ing rocket ship to the moon,” he boasts.

Still, he insists he no longer harbor hard feelings for Warner Bros or Chuck Lorre, the series creator, with whom he famously got into a verbal spat that eventually cost him his job.

He believes though that “Men” will end because creative juices going into it have dried up. There's still a lot of potential to it, but there's no one to bring it to light.

“I’ve done what he’s done,” he says of Kutcher. “I’ve replaced a guy [on Spin City]. It’s so [expletive]-ing hard, you can’t believe it. It’s all your thinking about and you’re surrounded by these ghosts.”

“They physically changed the set [on Men] so that there’s not this subconscious thing of it’s Charlie’s piano or it's Charlie’s stuff. So hats off to [Ashton] for doing the best job that he can. I don’t think that he’s working with the best writing because [Lorre is] doing too many shows. He and Jon [Cryer] and Angus [T. Jones] deserve better material,” Sheen adds.

Here is the full interview.

I guess Chuck Lorre isn't going to call me so here is my idea for a new show: Alan will be a single dad (lose the wife) who is raising his teenage son. He can have some funny scenes from his office, along with the help of a ditzy receptionist. When he tries dating, Jake will embrass him and vice versa. Keep Berta because she is funny plus he will need a housekeeper (preferably with a weird boyfriend). Also have the grandmother be more involved as she is a real character. So now you have Alan, Jake, Berta and Grandma and that's your show with maybe a few others thrown in occasionally! (No need to thank me Mr. Lorre. Glad I could help!)

Alan is funny when they show his feminine side. Jake is funny when he is with his friend and they are up to their antics, drinking, smoking pot, pulling pranks. Berta is funny just about all of the time and so is the Grandmother. They need to focus on those characters more and less on Ashton Kutcher, because I don't think he is such a great actor.

I think the new "Two and a Half Men stinks. I feel all this show is about is sex now. At least when Charlie was on there was mention of sex but it was more toned down.
