The new season of “Two and a Half Men” brought a change that was believed to have the potential to kill the entire series: Charlie Sheen was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. The show is still standing but for how long still remains to be seen. A short while ago, we were telling you that Nielsen figures indicated ratings were going down, with “Men” alienating viewers by the millions from one week to the other.
The latest episode saw a mild boost in the number of viewers, though not by much. Moreover, E! Online notes, it may have come at the cost of Ashton's decency, since it featured a shot of himself in the buff. The constantly poor ratings (as compared to the season premiere) have gotten people talking again about the possibility of CBS and Warner Bros. pulling the plug altogether once the current season is up. News Yahoo has summed up some of the opinions of industry insiders and, while they disagree on most aspects, they do agree on that: the lowest rating the show got with Sheen on board was still 1 million viewers above the lowest recorded so far with Kutcher. This could mean that Ashton has reason enough to worry about his fate on “Men,” especially since his contract is only for one year and he continues to receive negative media attention for his personal life. “Kutcher should be a little worried: Don't 'expect CBS to cut Two and a Half Men anytime soon,' says Andre Tartar at New York. But Kutcher's future could be in doubt. The actor is only signed to a one-year contract,” News Yahoo writes. “If the ratings continue to fall, 'the network may have real reason' to cut ties with Kutcher – especially because he 'has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons',” adds the same media outlet. E! Online disagrees: even with ratings halved in just 5 weeks, “Men” remains the biggest player on TV – not as big as it was with Charlie, but big nonetheless. Ashton has nothing to worry for now, at least not professionally, EW also underlines: with such solid ratings for the season premiere, they couldn't go but down in the following episodes. “The competition should be so lucky to report such 'dips' in the ratings. [Kutcher's debut] has finally settled down and the ratings are starting to show it,” the e-zine writes. However, none of the outlets mentioned above factor in the unhappy fans, those who leave “Men” vouching to never come back again unless writers and producers come up with better plot lines and better dialog. Almost halfway through the season, the show could really go either way – only time will tell. Cast your predictions below, in the comments section.

| Comment #1 by: bob on 26 Oct 2011, 11:51 UTC | reply to this comment | Last night "Men" jumped the shark with the kiss between Kutcher and Cryer. It's time to bail unless Chuck Lorr is willing to bring Sheen back from the dead. The show is just not working, no need to set the DVR any longer. |
| Comment #1.1 by: LustyMama on 26 Oct 2011, 16:10 GMT | I totally agree. The ship has been sinking already but now it's time to bail. I absolutely hate the gay inuendo that seems more and more prevalent with each episode. It's not funny or entertaining in any way - and kind of revolting in fact. What happened to the funny, amusing, witty and FUN show it used to be??? Did the writers all die along with Charlie? I agree with everyone else, if they can't revive Charlie then put the rest of the show to rest too. This is too painful to watch anymore. Put it out of its misery. |
| Comment #1.2 by: wendyjr on 26 Oct 2011, 20:09 GMT | looks like all of us are in agreement!! |
| Comment #1.3 by: mucka on 28 Oct 2011, 01:59 GMT | I watched one show it was horrible, please bring back Charlie or just take it off the air. I deleted it from my DVR. Stupid I guess you just can't fix. |
| Comment #1.4 by: don on 02 Nov 2011, 02:50 GMT | it's like watching the titanic...it's going down slowly but surely without charlie at the helm |
| Comment #1.5 by: Tonyg on 09 Nov 2011, 01:48 GMT | Better to resurrect Charlie, but Lorr is an idiot. reruns are better and funnier. |
| Comment #1.6 by: jumpnship on 18 Dec 2011, 19:39 GMT | I've tried to watch but it's really painful and not funny,or Ashton isn't funny.Get rid of Ashton and start over with the old cast,even without Charlie.Tired of Ashton in the buff,or even the gay thing.The show would be better off with just all the original cast members without Charlie, than the current dopy Ashton debacle.The guy couldn't deliver a funny line if he had to. |
| Comment #1.7 by: Core on 29 Dec 2011, 17:24 GMT | SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD. Bout sum's it up. Time to find something new to watch. |
| Comment #1.8 by: Sherry on 14 Jan 2012, 00:18 GMT | get charlie back fool!!!!!!!!!!!! then well come back............ |
| Comment #2 by: Porky on 26 Oct 2011, 13:46 UTC | reply to this comment | Boring! The new guy is not funny. More like irritating. |
| Comment #3 by: highlander on 26 Oct 2011, 15:16 UTC | reply to this comment | I like Kutcher very much. Unfortunately the show is not as good without Charlie. Kutcher is too goofy on the show. He has not lived up to the expectation everyone had for the show. Kutcher contrat is for one year, I hope he does a better job by then. From the past episodes I can't forsee his contract being renewed.
Maybe it's possible to work something out with Charlie in the future. I would love to see Charlie come back with a clear head and continue to perform like he did in the past. I think this would be goof for the network and for viewers. |
| Comment #4 by: team cahrlie on 26 Oct 2011, 16:54 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton Kutcher is not funny at all he is like the wannabe funny kids in school the ones that instaed of being funny you feel like punching. His voice is annoying, his face is annoying all that * facial hair annoying and they pretty much gave him the same character as john cryer we dont need 2 of them one is enough, we need someone to put john cryer down how charlie used too so hilarious |
| Comment #4.1 by: jc on 29 Oct 2011, 18:35 GMT | OK, I got a good idea. They can bring Charlie back and pretend that it was all a bad dream and they all had the same dream. If this show continues the way it is, the dream will turn into a nightmare. The show is really bad. |
| Comment #5 by: Not Happy on 26 Oct 2011, 17:41 UTC | reply to this comment | The show just sucks now. I don't who bright idea it was to replace Charlie with Ashton. Ashton is not funny he is just stupid for no reason. He may as well be Jake's friend.
Take us all out of our misery and cancel the show. |
| Comment #5.1 by: justnotfunny on 28 Oct 2011, 17:07 GMT | I agree. I can't laugh at this at all! Then when the laugh track comes on, I feel bad for them. It's sad, very sad. I too turned my DVR off to this show. |
| Comment #6 by: rg on 26 Oct 2011, 18:02 UTC | reply to this comment | There is nothing that makes you want to keep watching this show. Kuthcer
is really not that funny. The combine efforts of the original cast, is what
made the show so good. Without the boy and the mom and Charlie out of
the main scenes, the show really sucks. You really don't have a reason to
keep watching the boring episodes. |
| Comment #7 by: wendyjr on 26 Oct 2011, 20:07 UTC | reply to this comment | This was my favorite show of all, I would not miss monday night. now it doesn't matter if I see it or not. I think they are going to have to bite the bullet and try to get Charlie back, jake is the only reason i watch it now and he doesn't have enough time on the show, Ashton is NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR CHARLIE! |
| Comment #7.1 by: dolphinblue on 29 Oct 2011, 00:59 GMT | IT IS NOT THE CAST IT IS THE WRITERS AT THIS POINT................. |
| Comment #8 by: Sissy on 26 Oct 2011, 23:32 UTC | reply to this comment | There is no 2 1/2 Men without Charlie Sheen. |
| Comment #9 by: Jae on 27 Oct 2011, 17:37 UTC | reply to this comment | They should go ahead and pull the plug, I don't know anyone who likes or watches the show now. Sheen was so perfect for the part because of his personalty, even though we don't always approve of his personal life and he did get carried away with himself. I like Ashton but this is not the show for him and I feel like he is only hurting himself in his career(?). I don't think the cast as it stands will ever "fit" as well with Ashton as they did with Sheen. |
| Comment #10 by: Joan on 27 Oct 2011, 17:46 UTC | reply to this comment | The show is not the same. Not crazy about it! |
| Comment #11 by: SusieQ on 27 Oct 2011, 19:08 UTC | reply to this comment | I don't care for the new Two and a Half Men and I used to be a devout follower. It hasn't been the same without Charlie Sheen and never will be. |
| Comment #12 by: tippy on 27 Oct 2011, 19:27 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton Kutcher should leave the show and take care of his marriage, neither one is doing any good. |
| Comment #13 by: sa on 27 Oct 2011, 22:56 UTC | reply to this comment | I wanted to like it because Charlie Sheen acted like an * however, it is not funny. The character Ashton Kutcher nplays is so stupid and not funny at all. he should have been arrogant like Charlie because he is rich. Change his character or the show will tank. |
| Comment #14 by: lisa on 28 Oct 2011, 00:44 UTC | reply to this comment | It's ok but it was so much better with Charlie. Nothing against Ashton but the part they have him is playing is so * . We were looking for the womanizer like Charlie was. He is al,ost dorky in this show. Just not at good but we still love all the old cast members. |
| Comment #15 by: Sunshine on 28 Oct 2011, 02:44 UTC | reply to this comment | Charlie Sheen made the show. Will never watch without Charlie although I see that he will be having a new show come out next year, can't wait. It is kinda like a singer coming out with a song and then someone else tries a remake. It never works. I know Charlie had some issues but so did Lorre. They were both grown men and it could had been worked out. Still wish Charlie Sheen was part of the new shows. Still watch the old ones. Can't help but to love Charlie Sheen. |
| Comment #17 by: peg on 28 Oct 2011, 13:01 UTC | reply to this comment | i think Ashton Kucher is awful in this program, he needs to be butched up a bit, he's so wimpy he's pathetic. |
| Comment #18 by: LZ3000 on 28 Oct 2011, 16:11 UTC | reply to this comment | let's see; 19/19 negative comments and.... well, you get the picture. Everything already said; Ashton not funny, and then dumbing him down is definitely not funny, dull writing, and a need for naked Ashton (I guess for the shock factor or women or gay men). Nothing makes me want to watch anymore. |
| Comment #19 by: sbell on 28 Oct 2011, 16:13 UTC | reply to this comment | It has become one and a half men and one dork. It stinks!!!! |
| Comment #20 by: KEVIN on 28 Oct 2011, 17:57 UTC | reply to this comment | OKAY GAVE KUCTHER CHANCE HE JUST DOESNT FIT THE PART BRING BACK SHEEN OR DROP SHOW WONT BE BACK TO WATCH |
| Comment #21 by: blackpup on 28 Oct 2011, 22:33 UTC | reply to this comment | the show is really bad and it's sick |
| Comment #22 by: edd001 on 29 Oct 2011, 00:54 UTC | reply to this comment | It's really bad. It continues to get worse with each new episodes. |
| Comment #23 by: dolphinblue on 29 Oct 2011, 00:56 UTC | reply to this comment | actually i never watched the series with charlie s. didn't like it. now with ashton i find it very funny. i think he puts flair in the series . it just needs a fresh approach |
| Comment #23.1 by: BlueDolphin on 08 Nov 2011, 14:26 GMT | I guess we see that you have some growing up to do. You weren't on the level of the old episodes of Two and a Half Men and its mature content. You probably didn't understand it either.
You were in the wrong demographic for Two and a Half men, but with Kutcher, we can see who this show is catering to. This show does not know its audience. |
| Comment #24 by: dolphinblue on 29 Oct 2011, 00:58 UTC | reply to this comment | i really thought charlie was too big for his britches. writing around him.............they need fresh writers. and keep the cast |
| Comment #25 by: Wanda Woman on 29 Oct 2011, 01:48 UTC | reply to this comment | I was a loyal fan for years and like most of America is seems, I watched the opening season show with much hope. As much as the original show worked so beautifully with gut-wrenching humor I was sick of the Charlie Sheen shenanigans that I watched the revamped show with an open mind. I had accepted the fact that no one can replace Charlie and his character. Within 20 minutes of the new show I just wanted to know where are the original writers and did Chuck Lorre have a lobotomy? It's not Ashton's fault that his character is so lame but this new show is nothing special. Sorry but I prefer Two and a Half Men rather than this pitiful attempt at humor. |
| Comment #26 by: dmd100 on 29 Oct 2011, 03:30 UTC | reply to this comment | 'Two and a Half Men' without Charlie is like the 'Cosby Show' without Bill Cosby. I wacthed the new show and it completely sucks! I will stick to the re-runs! |
| Comment #27 by: bernadette on 29 Oct 2011, 04:25 UTC | reply to this comment | SEND KELSO BACK TO " THAT'S 70s, let them carry the burden of the no-talent clown.
BRING CHARLIE BACK,,,,,
BEFORE THE SHOW BECOMES
"TWO AND A HALF MONTH CANCELLED." |
| Comment #29 by: MGRFIN on 29 Oct 2011, 19:11 UTC | reply to this comment | THE SERIES IS IN THE TOILET. ASTON IS GOING TO SLEEP WITH CHARLIE'S MOTHER. HOW GROSS. AND THE LINE: 'IM GOING TO MY ROOM TO MASTURBATE', HAS TO BE ONE OF THE GROSSEST THING I'VE HEARD ON TELEVISION |
| Comment #30 by: nightstar on 29 Oct 2011, 23:54 UTC | reply to this comment | not the same without charlie sheen he made that prograhm to what it was and thats why viewers dont watch anymore,should pull the plug now,no charlie no show as far as am concerned its rubbish without charlie |
| Comment #31 by: Disapppointed in AZ on 30 Oct 2011, 06:18 UTC | reply to this comment | Two and a Half Men was one of my favorite shows until this season. I am not a fan of Ashton Kushner but I really do not like him as the new character on the show. I have stopped watching it because of the silly story lines and the goofiness of Kushner's character. I miss the sarcasm of Charlie Harper! If it weren't for Alan's humor the show would really be in the toilet. |
| Comment #32 by: meee on 30 Oct 2011, 07:20 UTC | reply to this comment | The show was Charlie...Without him there is no show. The other characters were his play. |
| Comment #33 by: knows everything on 30 Oct 2011, 11:14 UTC | reply to this comment | this show sucks without charlie, it's out of balance now, one geek on the show is enough |
| Comment #34 by: ashwipe on 30 Oct 2011, 17:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Kutcher is unwatchable in anything he does. He is the all time male symbol of the no talent dumbing down of the american actor. |
| Comment #35 by: FAN#! on 30 Oct 2011, 20:04 UTC | reply to this comment | I refuse to view the new show; Chuck L. Must be more delusional than Charley. |
| Comment #36 by: bob on 30 Oct 2011, 20:56 UTC | reply to this comment | Why do people credit the 28 million viewers to kutchers debut. People didn't tune in to see that no talent loser. They tuned in to see how they got rid of charlie. 28 million tuned in for charlies end. With Kutcher the show is losing millions of viewers each week. The people have spoken. Bring Charlie back. |
| Comment #37 by: jj on 31 Oct 2011, 16:16 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton is the wrong replacement for the Sheen role. Ashton is too young, too pretty and not "bad boy" enough. The show is boring and really bad. |
| Comment #37.1 by: Missing Charlie on 01 Nov 2011, 03:41 GMT | Two and a half men used to be my favorite show. It no longer is. I like Ashton Kutcher but not in this show. Charlie Sheen needs to come back. |
| Comment #38 by: Christine on 31 Oct 2011, 17:42 UTC | reply to this comment | I absolutely will never watch this show again without Charlie Sheen. I haven't watched any of them, nor will I. I watch the re-runs. Since the relations between Charlie and Chuck Lorre were so public, I have lost respect for Chuck Lorre. When you have an A list actor, there are bound to be problems anyway. One would think that producers and writers would know how to navigate around internal problems. When you have a great show, and the synergy works, you will never achieve it again with different people, no matter who they are. Was an avid fan...not anymore |
| Comment #39 by: ME on 31 Oct 2011, 19:18 UTC | reply to this comment | Bring Charlie Sheen back!!! He made the show if it wasn't for Charlie warner Bros and Chuck Lorre wouldn't be where they are today. Get over your selves and work something out with Charlie Sheen save the show and the fans |
| Comment #40 by: tvtime on 31 Oct 2011, 20:16 UTC | reply to this comment | show used to be funny, now just silly. no chemistry between kutcher and other cast members. i tuned out 2 weeks ago... |
| Comment #41 by: JABOE on 31 Oct 2011, 23:44 UTC | reply to this comment | Aston needs to be more mature and more like charlie was a playboy ,NOT a WUSS, |
| Comment #42 by: Daisycutter on 01 Nov 2011, 01:55 UTC | reply to this comment | This show is toast without Charlie. |
| Comment #43 by: Blut on 01 Nov 2011, 02:46 UTC | reply to this comment | Walden should be cool not stupid. You have him all wrong. |
| Comment #44 by: Der Mse on 01 Nov 2011, 03:08 UTC | reply to this comment | The story was good. The problem with the new Men is that Ashton's character is plain silly. He constantly looks like he needs a bath. Good grief, what woman would want any man that looked and acted like he does in her life never mind her bed. Get some story lines that ring true. Did Chuck fry too many brain cells in his fight with Charlie. What has happened to the quality of the writing on this show. |
| Comment #45 by: poin_d on 01 Nov 2011, 06:57 UTC | reply to this comment | Bring Back Charlie Sheen. I loved all the characters. It was hella funny. Ashton sucks. |
| Comment #46 by: Rocky Gates on 01 Nov 2011, 15:45 UTC | reply to this comment | Show is not good right now, we can not compare Ashton acting with Charlie, Charlie is a great actor and it suits for that show. Ashton can not replace Charlie in any manner. |
| Comment #47 by: Rocky Gates on 01 Nov 2011, 15:48 UTC | reply to this comment | Lot of people watch this show, because they curious how the show is now, not bacause the show is good. thats the reason still lot of viewers. |
| Comment #49 by: toob on 01 Nov 2011, 19:28 UTC | reply to this comment | I agree that Ashton Kutcher should be worried. The only thing he has brought is walking around half naked when he is not that cute anyway. The show is in serious jeopardy. A lot of faithfuls have already bailed and not likely to return. |
| Comment #50 by: prestia on 02 Nov 2011, 02:03 UTC | reply to this comment | Charlie needs to come back! I've watched the new show three times and each episode gets more painful to watch. |
| Comment #52 by: BadRon on 02 Nov 2011, 02:55 UTC | reply to this comment | I think it stinks and the old story line WAS Charley |
| Comment #53 by: CTV on 02 Nov 2011, 15:21 UTC | reply to this comment | Let Charlie wake up soon so the nightmare will end ! |
| Comment #53.1 by: softy on 02 Nov 2011, 20:46 GMT | Totally agree.
Ashton is not working out. The show should be called One Man plus two children.
Jake seems more mature than Ashton. |
| Comment #54 by: softy on 02 Nov 2011, 20:42 UTC | reply to this comment | The show really 'SUCKS' since Charlie Sheen is no longer there. Who wants to see Ashton always being naked--he's too skinny. Thank GOD Jon Cryer is still there. He is the star now. |
| Comment #55 by: kavorca on 02 Nov 2011, 22:39 UTC | reply to this comment | do the old "dream sequence" and bring charlie back as if nothing had ever happened |
| Comment #56 by: mary anne on 03 Nov 2011, 00:29 UTC | reply to this comment | Bring charlie back.. Ashton is adorable but not here |
| Comment #57 by: Tammy on 03 Nov 2011, 02:01 UTC | reply to this comment | This show is no longer funny. Does this show even have the same writers? After last weeks episode with the little girl dragging Jake off to the bedroom, and the Aston Kutcher character bedding Charlie's mother, I have completely given up. I loved the show before. Watching Aston Kutcher prance around nude every week while he acts like a dummy is just not funny. It's so bad, just scrap the show please. |
| Comment #59 by: ladyjeep on 03 Nov 2011, 11:59 UTC | reply to this comment | Stopped Watching! Showed died with Charlie! RIP |
| Comment #60 by: Ray on 03 Nov 2011, 18:47 UTC | reply to this comment | Chuck Lorre should wake up and smell the stink. New show with Kutcher really stinks. You may as well change the name to 'Two and a Half Gay Men' or may be 'Two and a Half Stupid Men'. The casts and the story lines don't seem to make any sense anymore. Chuck Lorre should put his ego in his pocket and bring Charlie Sheen back. |
| Comment #61 by: dano on 04 Nov 2011, 04:38 UTC | reply to this comment | They need to bring back charlie. All they have to do is have charlie walk in to allens room and wake up allen, then allen will know it was a dream. |
| Comment #61.1 by: super mom on 04 Nov 2011, 13:26 GMT | I realize Charlie Sheen is no longer with the show, but Ashton Kutcher was not the right choice to replace him. The story line is unworthy for Angus Jones. Suggestion, cancel the show or change Ashton character. Nudity is not a good plot line.

| Comment #62 by: anna on 04 Nov 2011, 13:45 UTC | reply to this comment | I want Charlie Sheen back on two and half men...he is perfect for the part |
| Comment #63 by: Maggie on 04 Nov 2011, 13:59 UTC | reply to this comment | The show is not the same without Charlie Sheen. I am sorry he and Chuck Lorr had issues, but really Chuck thing about the viewers and not your own ego. Kutcher is a good actor, but not for this show...please don't let the show die. You want to see the ratings go up then.. bring Charlie back from the dead your ratings will go way up! |
| Comment #64.1 by: ouch on 07 Nov 2011, 20:15 GMT | he is an excellent actor but he has to get the chemistry going with his fellow actors and this is not happening, Charlie's shoes are to big for anyone else to fit |
| Comment #65 by: KDC on 06 Nov 2011, 19:46 UTC | reply to this comment | Amazing how they could ruin it so badly. Don't know how that constant "What's going on"? look on Ashton's face was going to work week after week. It worked well in that "70's" show but this is a different comedy and he's not a kid anymore. I just don't understand what they were thinking. You need a smart, slick character to bounce off for others on the show. Simply crossing the taboo lines on a show like this does not work. Pitiful ... |
| Comment #66 by: ouch on 07 Nov 2011, 20:10 UTC | reply to this comment | only way it will survive is to bring charlie back, unfortunately the chemistry between the new cast is non existant |
| Comment #68 by: chris on 08 Nov 2011, 02:46 UTC | reply to this comment | i think they should bring charlie back in and make all this a bad dream.....please this show is crap without charlie |
| Comment #69 by: Serpico on 08 Nov 2011, 16:28 UTC | reply to this comment | Kutcher is no Charlie Sheen, he looks ugly, is not funny even with the bad scripts, the use by date is well and truely gone. Maybe they should toss the producers under the train. My guess is it will be like Newharts final show when they all wake up, Charlie is on the balcony and they realize it was all a bad dream. |
| Comment #70 by: steve cicc on 08 Nov 2011, 20:43 UTC | reply to this comment | Two and half has turned into a piece of crap, Ashton is just worthless, you made him a moron again and John Cryer is supposed to be the big man and big stud. Take the thing off the air, it really sucks and I can't watch it any more, i was hoping it would make it, But boy I was wrong it's a real loser.. |
| Comment #71 by: mzha on 08 Nov 2011, 21:20 UTC | reply to this comment | I will not watch the show with Aston Kutcher in it. He is not funny. Now they have him and Jon Cryer kissing! How disgusting. |
| Comment #72 by: Bali on 09 Nov 2011, 19:04 UTC | reply to this comment | Stop this show before the original "Two and a Half Men" losses its "Sheen" |
| Comment #73 by: thunderheart. on 09 Nov 2011, 21:06 UTC | reply to this comment | Charlie,brought a certain feeling to the show.Someone you wanted to watch.Plus Alan and Jake fit into the plot.Kutcher is just there as stupid prop,once he starts saying his lines I have to shut it off until the rest of cast start speaking their lines.Plus they have him acting and talking like a 10 year old.And naked not fun to watch.Charlie was right the writing went south.Now reruns with Charlie we watch all the time.Plus the last episode they kept referring to Charlie all nite long ...still putting him in to create interest in the show...Just bring him back and we all will come back... |
| Comment #74 by: Carla on 09 Nov 2011, 22:19 UTC | reply to this comment | The new show stinks. Bring back Charlie Sheen. |
| Comment #75 by: papapa on 10 Nov 2011, 00:46 UTC | reply to this comment | bring charlie back; alan wakes up and his bedroom door opens and charlie say's '' I'm back'' and take it from there , please save the show: |
| Comment #76 by: me on 10 Nov 2011, 16:32 UTC | reply to this comment | The show stinks now not hardly funny. Bring charlie back perfer re-runs stil make me laugh Ashton does not cut it |
| Comment #77 by: milcup on 10 Nov 2011, 17:00 UTC | reply to this comment | Show is definitely a disappointment since Charlie split. If Lorre wants to keep the show, he'd better beg Sheen back!!!!! |
| Comment #78 by: yooper on 10 Nov 2011, 20:58 UTC | reply to this comment | show sucks w/o charlie it was a * idea to even try to continue w/o him. Suck it up and bring him back, its not like you have alot of decent shows to take our minds off of charlies ease of delivery. even though youve seen it a thousand times his shtick is funny. |
| Comment #79 by: em on 10 Nov 2011, 23:59 UTC | reply to this comment | Everyone know Rose is a little off. So she's keeping Charlie hidden away somewhere - he's not dead. That's the way to bring Charlie back........without him there is no show..... |
| Comment #79.1 by: mari on 13 Dec 2011, 13:38 GMT | good idea |
| Comment #80 by: tl on 11 Nov 2011, 01:27 UTC | reply to this comment | Tried but can't watch it anymore. Ashton acts like he did on 70's show. Cryer could have done the show w/o replacing Charlie |

| Comment #82 by: Kalley on 11 Nov 2011, 14:03 UTC | reply to this comment | I wouldn't watch the show without Charlie Sheen even if you paid me. |
| Comment #83 by: rover on 11 Nov 2011, 19:13 UTC | reply to this comment | I think the show is a joke and should not waste its time. |
| Comment #84 by: Maunzie on 11 Nov 2011, 20:16 UTC | reply to this comment | Please, please bring Charlie Sheen back! This is by far one of the worst shows ever! with Ashton Kutscher. Two and a half men gone 70's is painful to watch! |
| Comment #85 by: honest abe on 11 Nov 2011, 22:12 UTC | reply to this comment | kutcher doesnt have the character in him. Its a shame the show had to end like this. In all fairness, it would be hard for any actor to step in as a replacement. Bottom line " show sucks" |
| Comment #86 by: biker joe on 12 Nov 2011, 16:59 UTC | reply to this comment | I predict the ratings will go downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn |
| Comment #87 by: none on 13 Nov 2011, 15:15 UTC | reply to this comment | The only decent character on the show was Allen. Now he is as discusting as the other characters. He was, at leaste a carring person trying to do the right thing. Now he is a shallow * only out to use people. Not funny. Charlie Sheen is no loss. Can only watch a man- * so many times. Waldon needs to keep his clothes on. Not funny. Actually, the show has gone fron suggestive to nasty. The episode where Evelyn sudeces Waldon was the final straw. Puke. I'm through, enough already, pull the plug, it's no longer funny on any level. When you have to make repeated referances to a man's penis size you know that the writers are done. |
| Comment #88 by: just me on 15 Nov 2011, 03:25 UTC | reply to this comment | Haven't watched any of the new shows, just watching re-runs. Don't care for Ashton, didn't think he was a good choice for the part. I didn't expect the show to go this direction. Thought they would put Allen and Jake together as the "two men" and have Jake become the focus as he "came of age". I expected a new "half" in the form of a toddler or infant belonging to either Charlie or Jake. Would have mantained the feel of the show. I only watch some espisodes, many or just too raunchy for my taste, but they are funny. |
| Comment #89 by: 60tutone on 15 Nov 2011, 19:10 UTC | reply to this comment | you need to bring rose back somehow, she was one of the main characters just like charlie sheen. without rose or the mother the show will go down |
| Comment #90 by: mulli on 15 Nov 2011, 19:13 UTC | reply to this comment | I read the ratings that are raving about this show but when I read the reviews from people that actually see the show--the ratings are a lie. Actually I do not see anyone that says they like this show anymore. Somebody better swallow their pride and get Charlie back or shut the show down. Money talks --so in my opinion--no show--no money-- Bring Charlie back--make money |
| Comment #91 by: Chena on 16 Nov 2011, 00:15 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton is terrible, looks like a kid with a beard, acts like he's on the 70's show + I got sick and tired of Allan and that ugly kid living there - they should have been killed off - bring Charlie back-single like before it was Great |
| Comment #93 by: Catis88 on 16 Nov 2011, 01:12 UTC | reply to this comment | Alan becoming Charlie was probably the only laugh I have exerted since Charlie's untimely "death". They really are scraping the barrel to try to impersonate him now.... just bring him back guys for godsake! |
| Comment #94 by: Mucka2 on 16 Nov 2011, 03:21 UTC | reply to this comment | The show stinks and I will not watch it again if they don't bring back the real Charlie, they can bury it like they did Charlie. Just awful. |
| Comment #95 by: JoJo0728 on 17 Nov 2011, 00:01 UTC | reply to this comment | Kutcher sucks,he's killing the show.........................He's a MORON |
| Comment #96 by: ab on 25 Nov 2011, 18:02 UTC | reply to this comment | Cut the new one and you still can make money on the old ones. You do not want to destory both of them. |
| Comment #97 by: mulli on 26 Nov 2011, 12:05 UTC | reply to this comment | If you want us to watch your show, get Charlie back. We all have to pay for our mistakes and it looks like you are and will. |
| Comment #98 by: 2 and 3/4 men on 28 Nov 2011, 06:21 UTC | reply to this comment | poor stories , poor acting and it's obvious that jon cryer feels he has to carry the show, bite the bullet and get sheen back he was only doing in real life what he portrayed on the show, easy change as we know rose is nuts, it's also obvious from the positioning in the titles that kutcher is now the "half man" |
| Comment #99 by: dangerx on 29 Nov 2011, 03:38 UTC | reply to this comment | The funniest thing about the show is still Charlie. The funniest jokes are about Charlie. Ashton's character is stupid and it doesnt fit the show. Now it's like they have 2 Alans!!! |
| Comment #100 by: Maggie Mae on 30 Nov 2011, 05:12 UTC | reply to this comment | The only thing good about the show was the way Sheen insulted Cryer. He's the wuss we all wish we could beat up on. Now that Alan isn't being humiliated, what's funny? The best idea in the comments section so far is get rid of Kutcher and have Charlie's illegitimate son inherit the house. He needs to be a mean, wise-cracking womanizer, too. Either that, or Evelyn could have a 3rd (and illegitimate) son that no one knew about except Evelyn and Charlie. He promised he would keep the secret "to the grave" and he does, but the truth comes out in the will - in which everything is left to him. A third possibility would have been to have Charlie leave everything to Jake, who now owns the beach house and his father has to suck up to him. ANYTHING would have been better than a lame Ashton Kutcher as Walden the Wuss. |
| Comment #101 by: Disappointed on 04 Dec 2011, 21:32 UTC | reply to this comment | The show is nothing without Sheen. Kutcher is a disaster. |
| Comment #102 by: Pat on 06 Dec 2011, 22:39 UTC | reply to this comment | We adored Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen and really, really, really wanted to support it with Ashton Kutcher. However, it just doesn't work. The whole thing doesn't work--the shared mother, Rose, etc. I could go on and on, but mainly it is because Kutcher just acts so dorky. We literally cannot watch it. Bought the video series with Charlie Sheen and watch them all the time. Sorry. Did I mention we really wanted this to work? |
| Comment #103 by: 21/2fan on 07 Dec 2011, 17:22 UTC | reply to this comment | I gave the show a chance, but it sucks with Ashton. I have watched my last episode. See ya! |
| Comment #104 by: sha on 08 Dec 2011, 12:38 UTC | reply to this comment | not funny anymore. like watching bad rehesrsal. not enough of other cast members. many people just leave abc on waiting for Mike ans Molly. so sad, |
| Comment #105 by: jmswasp on 08 Dec 2011, 13:07 UTC | reply to this comment | stop watching this crap, maybe they'll get the point, Charlie is the star of that show. |
| Comment #106 by: Pretty Girl on 08 Dec 2011, 21:50 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton sucks I am sorry all his movies suck he is a bad actor... But his show punked is amazing its the best thing he has ever done.. I luv it but Two in a Half Men is so crappy now... Charlie made that show.. I watch reruns and not the new shows.. disappointed fan |
| Comment #107 by: Nickie on 08 Dec 2011, 23:50 UTC | reply to this comment | My local chanel has the reruns on every night from 7:00 to 8:00 they call it "The Real 2 1/2 Men" so true. I dont know where some of these people are getting their ratings information, there is no way the new 2 1/2 Men is doing better. They need to bring Charlie back! What about this: Rose has been holding him captive in Paris or it was a dream.. this show will never be the same without Charlie Sheen they should have cancelled it. |
| Comment #108 by: Anne on 09 Dec 2011, 19:07 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton Kucher sucks in two and a half men. |
| Comment #109 by: caresonman on 10 Dec 2011, 18:16 UTC | reply to this comment | kutcher is just not funny. i watch the first 3 shows and saddly the show is nothing like with charlie. i never saw a beard look so stupid on a man as it does on kutcher. i'm done watching. either get someone else or bring that raving lunitic back. |
| Comment #110 by: FREDDY on 11 Dec 2011, 05:09 UTC | reply to this comment | Bring charlie back. ...With out allen the show would be dead. |
| Comment #111 by: charlie on 11 Dec 2011, 06:42 UTC | reply to this comment | What happened to all the other cast members? Alan and Berta are good but they need all the others to help the transition. |
| Comment #112 by: jojo0728 on 12 Dec 2011, 16:40 UTC | reply to this comment | This show sucks,I think Chuck and Ashton have something going on....If you know what I mean........Maybe they suck................... |
| Comment #113 by: gibbler on 13 Dec 2011, 03:55 UTC | reply to this comment | GAWD! enough already! the show is just terrible now. I have tried to give it a chance but Ashton is aweful, boring and incredibly stupid!!! And who is telling him the beard looks good? Bring Charlie back! Get over all the * ! Thank goodness for re-runs!! |
| Comment #114 by: mari on 13 Dec 2011, 13:32 UTC | reply to this comment | just not good without charlie watch his re-runs |
| Comment #114.1 by: baby on 16 Dec 2011, 04:20 GMT | I agree, the show is not as fun without charlie. The show is Charlie Sheen |
| Comment #115 by: angry fan on 13 Dec 2011, 19:37 UTC | reply to this comment | I have watched the show faithfully since it came on TV. How can you replace a guy who was the main character for 10 years? The whole show revolved around Charlie, he was what pulled it all together and made it funny. Re runs with him are a lot funnier to me than new episodes without him and I have already seen the re runs 5 times. Sometimes people just dont think. Should have figured out a way to continue the show and make lots of money for everyone, network, actors, etc. Have already dtopped watching show just have the reruns taped |
| Comment #116 by: sublady on 13 Dec 2011, 21:45 UTC | reply to this comment | Two and a Half Men is a mere shadow of what it was. Aston is no replacement...he is still the fogged up guy from the 70's show, and still ridiculously immature. Jon Cryer needs to play next to a 'smart' comedian in order to be funny at all. All of the players in this show have lost their edge. We don't watch it anymore. It's not entertaining, it's embarrassing!! |
| Comment #118 by: Judy on 18 Dec 2011, 01:23 UTC | reply to this comment | I only watched the first episode like most of America, yep Bring Charlie back from the dead or its going to be a wash, I only watch the re-runs now with Charlie. |
| Comment #119 by: Linda on 18 Dec 2011, 22:20 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton is not right for this show. If they cannot get Charlie back, I think a much better
fit would have been John Stamos playing a smug and sarcastic Character putting Alan
in his place. |
| Comment #120 by: Di on 20 Dec 2011, 00:48 UTC | reply to this comment | I think that the show is terrible. They have Kutcher such a dummy. Can't stand it and will not watch it. We still watch the old reruns and laugh at every show. |
| Comment #121 by: tulip1971 on 20 Dec 2011, 13:10 UTC | reply to this comment | I look forward to Monday night to watch the CBS line up with 2 broke girls Two and a half men and Mike & Molly. I love the new Two and a half men. I have laughed more since Ashton took the role that I ever did with Charlie. It has alway been a favorite show of mine. I like it better with
Ashton. Would be very sad to see it cancelled. |
| Comment #122 by: pat on 20 Dec 2011, 23:02 UTC | reply to this comment | I can't stand the new show. I was so disappointed the very first night. It was my favorite TV show because it made me laugh. I will continue to watch the reruns, but never the new show. |
| Comment #123 by: Miss Charlie on 22 Dec 2011, 16:23 UTC | reply to this comment | This show is so stupid now I quit watching it. Charlie needs to come back. I still watch the reruns with Charlie and laugh every time even though I have seen every one about twenty times. |
| Comment #124 by: Lionel on 23 Dec 2011, 16:41 UTC | reply to this comment | The show "SUCKS" since Charlie left. I have not watched it since-AND NEVER WILL.
Ashton would'nt make a pimple on Charlie's * !!! Admit your poor judgement and bring Charlie back. Ratings will go through the roof, you know like CocaCola did with their new formula. |
| Comment #125 by: Mike on 27 Dec 2011, 03:49 UTC | reply to this comment | show is a crappy spin off...
made ashton richer
but he is clearly no Charlie
and i like Ashton, imagine if
i didnt... he sort of reminds me
of a highschool nerd that thinks
he is funny... charlie doesnt
have to try and be funny
he just IS. |
| Comment #126 by: tommiegirl on 27 Dec 2011, 17:51 UTC | reply to this comment | Extremely disappointed in the new ones with Kutcher.I use to love to watch Two and a Half Men,now that Kutcher is on there it isn't even worth the time. |
| Comment #127 by: tvgirl on 27 Dec 2011, 21:03 UTC | reply to this comment | Watching Ashton Kutcher as Walden is agonizing. He speaks with a strange voice and for some reason the network feels the need to constantly show him in various states of undress. WHY!! To make up for the fact that he can't act. All the regular characters are great as always, although not liking what they're doing with Berta. Network should definitely build the show around Jon Cryer. Show was so much funnier with Charlie Sheen. |
| Comment #127.1 by: Alfredo Lizano on 28 Dec 2011, 16:10 GMT | Tucker is very high, this does not seem important but is out of proportion, is also very bad comedian and does not compare in any way with Charlie Sheen. Charlie was the soul of the series without the need to lower the rating dramatically. The series begins to tire the audience and also Aston is not for this role. The dialogues are very forced and the actor does not fit. The variation in the substance of the series significantly damaged the product. Greetings from Costa Rica, Pura Vida. |
| Comment #128 by: Finny on 01 Jan 2012, 17:59 UTC | reply to this comment | Terrible show without Sheen. Maybe Rose can push Kutcher's Waldon in front of a train??? With the son almost full grown, change the shows name to One Man and Two Idiots? |
| Comment #129 by: david on 03 Jan 2012, 00:51 UTC | reply to this comment | without charlie you might as well turn off the show. |
| Comment #130 by: j roberts on 05 Jan 2012, 05:16 UTC | reply to this comment | I love the new show..it needed the change.... |
| Comment #130.1 by: DR on 07 Jan 2012, 13:35 GMT | So you are the one that is watching. |
| Comment #131 by: JVA on 09 Jan 2012, 03:06 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton Kutcher acts like a misguided toddler that still needs guidance to cross the street. His role was poorly thought out! Sheen in tandem with John Cryer made the show--it will die! |
| Comment #132 by: DOOWEECHEATUM on 09 Jan 2012, 18:51 UTC | reply to this comment | Ashton cant act get it,Ashton has Mommy Boy issues!!!!!!!!!!!! Charlie is a actor and has proof. Ashton had Demi but F%@% that up to. |
| Comment #133 by: just not laughing on 10 Jan 2012, 02:46 UTC | reply to this comment | I think it nothing but bad sex com ,when it first came to it was little sexy, that Was cute and a lot of laughs .There was a story line that was funny from when it first aired and for the first couple of years; Not now its just bad plots, just rotten sex that isn't even funny just sick.At least when Charlie and the maid were on they made you laugh ,theywere the best. and Charlie real life couldn't be worst the the the show that is on now .at least Charlie has more class. |
| Comment #134 by: TinyDancer on 11 Jan 2012, 08:00 UTC | reply to this comment | E! Online disagrees. What are they, a bunch of idiots? Unbelievable!! But I guess that's to be expected from an organization that backs the Kartrashians? Warner Bros./CBS/Lorre took one of the best sitcoms in the history of television and turned it into a piece of trash that nobody wants to watch. |
| Comment #135 by: dee on 11 Jan 2012, 18:49 UTC | reply to this comment | I loved the show with Charlie Sheen and now it seems I find it unwatchable. Not only has the writing gone downhill, but I just don't think Ashton Kutcher is at all funny and it pains me to see that the writers have stooped to all these skin shots of him to increase ratings...I find it sad. It used to be my favorite show and now I think it's dying a slow death...put it out of its misery please. |
| Comment #136 by: Terry on 11 Jan 2012, 19:08 UTC | reply to this comment | Charlie was the show. Have not watched it since he left. |
| Comment #137 by: jam on 20 Jan 2012, 06:00 UTC | reply to this comment | I think the show is going great I will contuine to watch it I have been watching since season 1 and even with charlie leaving the show I think they pick a good new guy to take over the show and keep it going good go get them Ashton |
| Comment #138 by: jam on 20 Jan 2012, 06:20 UTC | reply to this comment | I have been watching the show sience way back and I the they picked the right guy to take over for charlie sheen you other people just don't know good acting when u see it any one can be replaced just like that u can't just watch one show and make your commits based on one show Ashton is doing just fine I think and I will keep watching two and a half men chuck lorr is doing just fine with the show. so to u other people what is wrong with u its like u are judging a book by its cover give it time it is a great show and will stay a great show go get them Ashton |
| Comment #139 by: 3 cheers for Charlie on 20 Jan 2012, 12:02 UTC | reply to this comment | My husband and I were outraged when the news came down that Charlie was removed from the show, the show WAS CHARLIE, take Charlie away, there's no show. Ashton is a good actor and I thought he was great in the Butterfly Effect but he's no Charlie, we no longer watch the show and we continue to watch reruns of the original show. Two and a half men was going to be really good with the plot line they were taking it with "Bad Alan" it would probably have been the most successful season to date, BRING CHARLIE HARPER BACK!!! |
| Comment #141 by: stevo on 28 Jan 2012, 12:18 UTC | reply to this comment | i tried to like it but it just keeps getting worse every episode time to scrap it and remember it for Charlie being a Legend |
| Comment #142 by: Mykas mom on 29 Jan 2012, 01:11 UTC | reply to this comment | There is no way A.Kutcher can hold a candle to Charlie Sheen so the fact that the show is no longer worth watching doesn't surprise me. I quit watching the minute I found out he, of all the people out there, was going to be on the show. How anyone could think that immature Untalented clown could replace Charlie is beyond me. |
| Comment #143 by: Lucky one on 02 Feb 2012, 00:05 UTC | reply to this comment | The show was my favorite but now it sucks |
| Comment #144 by: Zelphia3 on 12 Feb 2012, 19:03 UTC | reply to this comment | It is time to bring Charlie back and get rid of AK. They ruined a good thing. It is sad. I don't care if AK is nude I won't watch it.

| Comment #145 by: Zelphia3 on 12 Feb 2012, 19:04 UTC | reply to this comment | Bring Charlie back. AK is not good in this show and I was an AK fan. It is making me even dislike AK. I am done watching. DONE |
| Comment #146 by: liz on 14 Feb 2012, 23:11 UTC | reply to this comment | I don't care to any more of Kutcher - Men is Charlie's show and always will be - Kutcher has made it a porno show |
| Comment #147 by: qt8625 on 20 Feb 2012, 19:49 UTC | reply to this comment | The show just isn't entertaining without Charlie. Charlie was the glue that held that show together. |
| Comment #148 by: jc2099 on 22 Feb 2012, 09:55 UTC | reply to this comment | The actresses that play walden's wife and girlfriend need to be replaced and the writing has to improve. the show that aired on the 20th was really bad but it wasn't the worse this season. |
| Comment #149 by: kps on 25 Feb 2012, 08:37 UTC | reply to this comment | This used to be my favorite show, but the writing has deteriorated to the point where it is painful to watch. Last week with the throwing up was just gross. Maybe the show has run its course - after all, it was much better when the kid was still a kid. As far as bringing Charlie back - that is so easy. Rose is the only one who claims to have seen him dead (wasn't it a closed casket at the funeral?), so she could have been keeping him to herself all along. Charlie was so funny on Spin City (and even better than MJF who was great as well) without all this crudeness of Two and a Half. Lorre needs to go that direction for this show to succeed. |
| Comment #150 by: Bob on 28 Feb 2012, 10:36 UTC | reply to this comment | For some reason the writers have completely lost the chemistry that was 2.5 Men. It has gone from being the funniest show on TV bar none to a shitcom. The new guy is pathetic, not a natural, (plays the same f***wit as he was on that pathetic "canned laughter 70's show crap) and it really escapes me why they chose him. Seriously, a complete talentless hack with scripts to match. This has a roll on affect which brings down the rest of the crew who use to be funny. If the producers dump it now they may be able to save some degree of dignity. |
| Comment #151 by: freddy on 28 Feb 2012, 10:50 UTC | reply to this comment | Walden Schmuck! It went from being the funniest show on Australian TV to just another shitcom. Talk about canned laughter crap, it is cringe-worthy at best. |
| Comment #152 by: JR on 29 Feb 2012, 00:19 UTC | reply to this comment | We need Charlie Sheen back...."NOW"... |
| Comment #153 by: norapup on 20 Mar 2012, 12:01 UTC | reply to this comment | the producers should find a way to get charlie sheen back. the show stinks with ashton. he is not funny and what was a great show is now way below par. time to remedy what was once a great show |
| Comment #154 by: Semihog on 21 Mar 2012, 03:41 UTC | reply to this comment | Without Charlie in the cast, without kutcher,the show sucks,I watch the old shows an look for the ones I'd missed,but I can't even begin to find it near as good as it was,in short it stinks. |
| Comment #155 by: stamp38 on 27 Mar 2012, 08:48 UTC | reply to this comment | I thought Charlie made the show Ashton does not fit in. I don't watch it anymore, It's stupid and boring. Bring Charlie back |
| Comment #156 by: mzha1942 on 22 Apr 2012, 19:41 UTC | reply to this comment | I said it before and I'll say it again. I won 't watch the show without Charlie Sheen! |
| Comment #157 by: Charlie Harper fan on 04 May 2012, 23:30 UTC | reply to this comment | I watched the new Two and A Half Men, twice and switched channels part way through it. Life is too short to waste it watching something so boring. |
| Comment #158 by: barb on 13 May 2012, 10:20 UTC | reply to this comment | ill never watch kutcher. bring charlie back |
| Comment #159 by: melville on 14 May 2012, 20:14 UTC | reply to this comment | I find it embarrassing to watch the 'new' Two And a Half Men. I blame Charlie Sheen for ruining the show with his sophomoric, pathological behaviour offscreen. I guess there was just too much money invested for the producers to 'quit while they were ahead'. | |
