‘Two and a Half Men’ Ratings Are Going Down

People initially tuned in out of curiosity - myself included - but as the shows progress and the writing gets worse and worse I'm not surprised so many people have stopped watching. Frankly, if there was anything else on in that time slot that was appealing I probably would change the channel too. It's almost sad to watch the show now. My son and I just look at each other and shake our head sadly. It's like saying goodbye to a good friend because we always used to look forward to watching this show. I miss the laughter and entertainment this show brought us. And don't get me wrong, I don't believe it's any of the actors fault at all - not even Ashton - it's the writers who are NOT funny and are changing all the regular characters into people that aren't amusing, just annoying and sometimes even disgusting to watch. You need new, inspired writers to make it funny again and change ALL of the storylines! Best of luck to you.

Forget 2 1/2 men unlesss you get charlie back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The show is not funny - Charlie Sheen was Two and a Half Men

the first episode was watched by curious viewers to see the new leading man. That said the rest is a foregone conclusion the show will fail because it is terrible. Bring back Charlie but make sure he is off the drugs and boooze

The beauty of "two and half men" was Charlie was a character you loved to hate, and love and he was the complete opposite of Alan. With Ashton he and Alan are simply the same character, except Ashton is better looking. You can't have two people playing the "foil." Thank god for the re-runs, this show is about to disappear.

This is the Last Season for Two and a Half Men. Nice Try. No Cookie

Aston Kutcher was the wrong person for this show -- I don't care to watch it any longer, and it was one of my favorite shows. CDJ - Indiana

Here is the problem with the new show. First of all the writers have a bone to pick with Charlie Sheen so they take it out on Charlie Harper. We, the fans of the old show actually love Charlie Harper, so your constant cuts to him, "he gave me herpes" "he really was a horrible person" having his mother advertise his beach house for sell at his funeral, all stupid stupid stupid! No matter what the producers/writers/staff have against Sheen, stop with the Charlie Harper bashing! Second, Alan was living with his brother but now he is living with a stranger and mooching off of him. Having someone mooching off of a family member is okay, now Alan just looks like a lowlife * who has no self esteem and is the worlds worst role model for Jake. The only way the show will make it is if they reevaluate their personal vendetta and get back to the old show. I think now only Sheen's reappearance could save it.

get rid of ashton kutcher the rest of the cast are hilarious they dont need him

yOU SURE ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS SHOW AND ASHTON STINKS. i AM 75 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER WIFE AND I STILL LOVE CHARLIE. HE HAD A BAD BREAK DOWN, HE HAD ONE YEARS AGO. THAT IS A SICKNESS. THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. THE SHOW IS TERRIBLE KNOW. NO MOTHER AND SON. ALAN ACTS STUPID AND ASHTON IS TERRIBLE. THEY COULD BRING CHARLIE BACK FROM THE DEAD SAYINY IT WASN'T HIM THAT WAS KILLED. I HOPE. I HATE TO QUIT WATCHING.

The new Two and A Half Men show should be called Two and A Half Half- * Men. It's not funny; it's actually painful to watch. We miss Charlie and don't need no stinkin' Ashton! RERUN!!!

YOU NEED TO BRING CHARLIE SHEEN BACK, I LOVE TWO AND A HALF MEN BUT NOT ANY MORE, THE CAST BEFORE WERE GREAT, FIX WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO TO BRING CHARLIE BACK

Ashton Kutcher sucks... he is not funny! If you want us to watch bring Charlie back!

the first show with ashton kutcher was all about charlie sheen, that is why it was successfull it is now a dud

bring charile back on I will tell all of my friends and family to do not buy anything cbs is try to sell while that show is going on

Stale, inane, trite, tired, unorigial and unfunny writing can not be saved by the one remaining "men". Angus and Charlie and Taylor were a major part of the winning formula. Too much Cryer is downright depressing and Ashton...dude, wheres your chops?

Bruce Willis would have been great playing Charlie Harper. Never mind bringing a new character to the show. The could have picked a few good people to play Charlie. I like Ashton but this * character he's playing is really stupid. Right now Allen and the kid are carrying the show and even that won't be for long. Bad writing material too...not even funny. I'll enjoy the re-runs for some time anyway. Bye Ashton...better run to Demi :)

The show sucks without Sheen

Ashton Kutc her is not funny and I want Charlie Sheen back. I want the old show back. Don't like Two and Half * -Asses.

Stupid doesn't mean funny! Charlie's character was believable! Ashton's character isn't. The show simply isn't funny with Cryer taking the lead character position. The other supporting cast continues to be great. We gave it a last chance Monday night. We're moving on!

Charlie Sheen has endless talent and great comedic timing! Two and One Half Men is nothing without him. I have stopped watching...I would love to see Charlie get another show on TV and also another movie deal!!

with our charlie sheen the show stink ashton is a big dummy he does not
the warmth that charlie had in my opnion ashton should do serious acting
not comedy

The show is just not the same without Charlie. I don't look foward to watching it anymore.

The show is not funny. Just watched episode they were having a party and pot was involved. Didn't they ridicule Charlie for drugs and yet here they have a show involving drugs. Why? We are trying to keep our kids off of drugs and yet here was a good show & they advertise drugs. My family & friends will no longer watch. Lousy show & writers.

agree, Ashton Kutcher simply is not funny he cannot even act, dreadful, there are great actors out there who are funny, why pick that dud!!

Sad, it will NEVER be the same!! All due respect to AC, but I'm not a watcher any longer.

Alan is not the main man, the mother is not in enough shows, as well as Alan's ex & husband, just doen't make it.

The show is not the best as it was without Charlie Sheen. That is why I decided to look for a better offer.

the show is rubbish, most people only looked at because of Charlie Sheen, how they could have chosen that Ashton Kutchner is beyond me he looks terrible and is no replacement for Charlie, not that I was a great fan of Charlie either but better than this guy, hopeless, terrible, take if off!!

i use to love this show, my whole family did, but now without charlie its not the same show, its nothing against any of actors, its not there fault, its the fool who fired charlie sheen, the day he left thats the day the show died

its not the same show. where u like charlie or not...he made this show and the rest of the cast fit in with it..now its not funny aston is stupid in it and berta who i loved in it...doesnt have the same chemistry with aston she did with sheen i can still here her says oh charlie...and shaking her head..cryer does not have the same chemistry with aston....i quit watching this show thank god for reruns...bring charlie back it will make the ratings hirer then they have ever been....

i loved two and a half men...dont watch it no more not the same it sucks now..not a great fan of charlies but he made this show and it was my favrite.. would love to see them bring him back..if they wont they need to kill the show it is dying more and more each week..it really does suck now.

I cant believe they're actually paying Kutcher, the show is now ridiculous, dont watch it anymore.

Ashton is a sweetie, but the producers/writers are making him to be such a immature man. Change your way of thinking about how you want to present him, he has to act like an adult. Don't blame it on Ashton. The show has turned very lame and it's not Ashton's fault, it's the producers/writers.

i dont really like to comment on forums but wow this show has just gone way down hill, not even worth watching n e more, i think ashton peeked on that 70s show and only knows how to play the moronic friend, lets not assume that he could ever fill charlie sheens shoes!I give two thumbs way down !

I don't approve of Charlies personal life, but that's none of my business, he was good in this role and Ashton is not, he acts wimpy and sissified. Can't they "man" him up some?

Kutcher is the wrong person to replace Sheen. The show is stupid and not funny at all. Not Kutcher's fault, it is the writers fault. What are you people thinking?

SEND KELSO BACK TO "THAT'S 70s" LET THEM CARRY THE BURDEN OF A NO-TALENT CLOWN.
BEG CHARLIE BACK !!!!
CHARLIE NEVER HAD TO WALK AROUND NAKED AND SLEEP WITH CO-CAST MEMBERS TO GET RATINGS, THE SHOW IS NOW; FILTH FILTH FILTH DON'T INSULT THE PUBLIC USING FILTH FOR ENTERTAINMENT OR HUMOR.

l think the lines are still funny, but it seems everyone is trying too hard to be funny. I miss Charlie. I don't like how Alan is still living in that house. I fall a sleep watching most of the shows.

PLEASE BRING CHARLIGE SHEEN BACK I DONT CARE HOW EVEN IF HE IS DEAD JUST BRING HIM BACK WE ALL MISS CHARLIE SHEEN

Two and a half men needs Charlie back, so someone needs to figure a way to make this happen. I loved the show w/Charlie but don't watch anymore. Ashton is just plain stupid.

the new 2 1/2 men is very very bad. ashton is lame

ashton and the rest dont work. i have erased from tvo

show sucks now

I watched the 1st episode and just as I expected, It STUNK!!! Kutcher can't act, I didn't like him in that 70's show and I sure as hell didn't think he could fill Charlie's shoes. Charlie had a way of delivering that comic punch that made the show so popular. Kill Kutcher's character the same way you did Charlie's and I MIGHT tune in again. But as long as that hack is on the show, I will stay away!

AShton sucks. The show's just not as funny with him or without Charlie. Cryer is still good, but the dialog is dull. Ashton's character is lame and so's Ashton.

Bring Charlie back or the show wont last 6 more months.

Please bring Charlie back! I exsist on the reruns!!! Love Kutcher but not in this show..

I like Ashton but not on this show. It's not his fault. The character he portrays is terrible. Bad writers. They should have brought in Ashton as a "unknown wealthy half-brother.....you would know it was a half brother because of the way he would act like Charlie. And why did they kill Charlie off the show. He could have just run off to Europe to find Rose. He stayed and Rose returned to Malibu. Then they could have brought Charlie back if they needed to. WITH WALDEN AS THE CHARACTER, THEY NEED TO BRING CHARLIE BACK TO SAVE THE SHOW....Get over it. He screwed up and it ticked you off. So what.....Bring Charlie back and save this show!!!!!

Two and half men is not worth watching without Charlie.
Charlie was the show he's the reason the show was a success ,Ashton just doesn't have what it takes time for the show to go away.

Time to forgive Charlie.... Ashton Kutcher is disgusting to watch. What did Demi see in him? Bring Charlie back.. There's always a way. We stopped watching the show because of Ashton Kutcher..Bring back Charlie and we will be faithful viewers.

Come on now. Of course its going to fail. Charlie made the show great. I don't watch it anymore because Charlies gone. It was a show I always looked forward to. But thank god for the reruns.

Go back to the old format with Charlie. Ashton sucks...I won't watch any more

Bring charlie back.....the only two and a half men I watch are the old episodes and even though I have seen most of them, I still am laughing through the whole show....Sorry ashton no one can replace charlie

without charlie sheen the show just plain lousy and boring....

My husband never watched sitcoms and enjoyed their off-color humor until he viewed the old "Three and a Half Men". The new trio just don't cut it. We watched one new show and never returned; we watch Sheen repeats and still laugh.

We miss Charlie. Also the whole show started to stink. Allen turned into some low life, pity I liked him in beginning. Ashton though handsome does little for me. And that girlfriend of his is a joke with her silly accent. Show became pretentious, and not funny at all.

Absolutely agree. Ashton Kutcher is a terrible actor. He is not funny and painful to watch or in my case now...not watch. He should be fired and somehow bring Charlie back fro the dead

You're kidding me"..........Kutcher is not half the actor that Sheen is. My husband and I were die hard fans of the show and now we have no reason to watch. I will say this Jon Cryer is carrying the show. He and Charlie were like "Laurol and Hardy, Dean and Jerry,

Seriosly did anybody think that the show would work without Charlie?
Give the people what they want. Bring him back. We have all made
mistakes. Kiss and make up. It is not too late Chuck. That was one funny
* show.

I agree completely. I watched the premiere, which wasn't very funny, and 2 shows since then, both very asinine and juvenile. Kutchner was never known for his acting ability and after Sheen he seems like a vaudeville clown

it's a joke, the writers were writung for charlie and now for ashton,, just not the same actors, won't make it till next season

the show needs charlie sheen back now, in order to be saved pride needs to be swollowed a little bit on both sides. apologies made by the better man if both can realize that ... Billions more to be made. but now not later

everyone that's bashing ashton stop it thats bad form and unessesary. He stepped into the middle of a network brawl sitcom and that's like a referee stopping a good fight that reached a good peak and then the towel was thrown in and the public did't get to see it end properly so everyone hates the referee. not his fault at all I would have never let him get into that ring.Not any actor. Bad Karma. Ashton try your best ... now ... rethink a new character and script cause I know you can do it . you did punked now augment your abilities from there and move forward.

WHAT THE * YOU GUYS DONE BRING THE BEST SAYING CHARLIE IS DEAD YOU GUYS BRING THE KING BACK TO LIFE YOU GUYS CANT DO THIS BRING CHARLIE BACK NO ONE CAN BE CHARLIE WHO THE HELL CAN DO THIS BRING CHARLIE BACK MOVE HIS TILE AND I WILL COME BACK

Ashton is no Charlie and we stopped watching it after the first episode. Only look for rerunswith Charlie now if we watch "two and a half men."

This coming monday, April 23-12 Alan (Jon Cryer) is suppose to see Charlie's ghost after being hospitalized for a heart attack. It's rummored their will be more of this sort of thing, provided the show goes on. The network is trying to lock in two more years. Charlie said in a interview that he'd do more work on the show if they wanted him to. I dont remember exactly how he worded this but in a nutshell said along the lines, that he was upset or something like that, that 2.5 was something he started but didn't get to see it through/finish it. As for Ashton, you can't blame him for 2.5 men, YES, cheating on Demmi (if he really did) was a kick in the nads, but as for the show, Ashton was ask/offered to do/take a great job The highest rated comedy with the best ratings, along with a paycheck of something like 700,000-800-000 an episode. Who would turn a oppurtunity such as that down? Ashton simply took a good paying job with VERY big pair of shoes to fill, you cant blame the guy for that. I think Ashton is doing his best, he's trying. YES, I think there are some that would have been a better choice, Justin Hartley namely BUT Ashton was ask to do it. The show was/is Charlie Sheen's. They COULD bring him back ANYTIME the way they did his death, Closed casket, creamation, crazy Rose being the ONLY witness to his death. I wish Sheen would come back, they could have Ashton in another part of the show afterwards. I think they should re-hire Charlie, he has anger management in the works now, but he seems to have straightened out from his meltdown. I think he could do them both. WHO KNOWS?

CRAP! Sorry everybody, I got the date wrong for 2.5 men episode 922, When Alan will see Charlie's ghost. The real airdate for ep922 Tital
'Why We Gave up Woman' is scedualed for airdate 4-30-2012,NOT this coming monday. I had not had any sleep and simply mis-read it before. sorry I screwed up.

Charlie Sheen made the show. The chemistry was right and even believable with Charlie. I watch the reruns of the old show with Sheen. I'll take the old over the new any day. Don't plan to return to the new show unless Charlie comes back.....

It is not because of the adultery if it was, Charley would not have gotten out of the gate. It is because the writers are scattered and the heads have no direction. They are taking the series in to many directions and ending up with poor shows. In short, the writing sucks and the leadership sucks!

The show was once an edgy, sarcastic show that was predicable enough but still kept you waiting for the next line, now it is predictable and lacklustre. How can you be sarcastic, edgy, dirty and have the lead playing with a seven year old.

Get your old direction back and your top postion will be back.

Yeah, it's being taking a diving-decline since Charlie Sheen left. We need him back!

I used to watch this show all the time, but it's boring now without Charlie Sheen. Charlie made the show, without Charlie there Is no show In my opinion.

The show is not the same without Charlie...!
