CBS Should Re-Make Two and a Half Men With A New Cast

I have to be honest, I thought Two and a half Men was a really stupid show. I saw a few episodes and the wonder that it had gone on for as long as it has is flabbergasting to me.

That said, the one thing I can appreciate about it is the people who worked on the show were able to put food on the table and a roof over their head because it provided their employment. This includes Charlie Sheen, but in his case that roof over his head was made of coked out porn stars.

It wasn't enough for Sheen to be satisfied with being the highest paid actor on television. He needed to be perpetually messed up on drugs too. Now some selfish rant against the network has caused the show to be cancelled for the season, effectively screwing hundreds of people out of work they need because they don't get to make millions for "acting" like an ingracious piece of s**t on camera.

Rather than cancel for the season, I think CBS should just reboot the show with a new cast. I have a few ideas, starting with a very obvious option...

Then there's a choice even more obvious than that...

I call this one "the trans-gender barrier buster"...

This is the best option, but the need for special effects make it cost prohibitive...

Top pic.. I know Barney... who are the other two goobers?

I can’t really fault Charlie for hanging out with porn stars. For all their faults, for the most part they have significantly more character than the typical Hollywood type goniff.

My suggestion: continue production (I have watched the show only once and thought it was phenomenally stupid and tacky), but write the Sheen character into a straight jacket and shoot around him for the season.

Be aware of the new universally mandated rules about gays on TV shows.

The gay character must be the most noble, honest, humane, likable character on the show.

Never saw the show and have to ask how it is that it took 180 people to put the show on the air every week?

[lonestar]

Very Clever! LOL!!!!

[de.rm]

It's all just another P.T. Barnum mirror in a fun publicity stunt to re up ratings.

btw- it's working perfectly, as usual (global banksters doing same of larger scale in ME)

[CarmichaelPatriot]

Even better, have the Charlie Sheen character get killed in a firery DUI accident or shot by a jealous husband, followed by his estate being left to a newly discovered 1/2 brother, played by Emelio Estevez, as the son of one of the boys mother’s many husbands, with the requirement that the Jon Cryer character not be turned out on the street by Emelio.

It’s not much of a stretch if you know the characters on the show.

[lonestar]

I have never seen the show. I heard there were 250 people laid off.

They should write Sheen's character out by sending him to rehab and get a new roomate---a Black or illegal alien.

I have no clue who the kid belongs to in the show.

Next piece of filth that should go is Family Guy.

That’s worse then ‘one really funny man, one drug/sex addict and a pretty darn good acting kid’ who hopefully has a promising future and being on that show didn’t corrupt him.

These comedy shows are made to lull you into accepting homosexuality starting with Helen D. and Will & Grace. Now Sheen’s show make drugs and sex cool.

Inch by inch....

[TribalPrincess2U]

Should say indoctrination..show by show.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Or how about six and a half women starring Rosie O’Donnell as the six and a half women?

[KansasGirl]

LOL!

[lack-of-trust]

except Sheen doesn’t make it seem cool. He makes it seem shallow, lonely and empty.

It’s hard to believe someone (other than Sheen) is the creator of this show (unless by “creator” they mean the guy who said “we all piss our selves laughing when Charlie tells his stories, let make a show about his life”

The show is simply the PG version of his x-rated real life.

[RummyChick]

the numbers this show makes are staggering

Sheen feels he has the upper hand and he does. It is a question of how far he can push them with his insane antics.

I like the idea of killing him off and bringing in his father or brother. It might not generate the same revenues but it would keep people employed.

But as we have seen the past -when a star gets in a snit and leaves, the replacement idea often doesn’t work.

I watched the show half a dozen times. The hapless Jon Cryer character is kind of amusing.

What’s off putting is that virtually every joke line relates in some way to sex or sexually deviancy. It gets old really quick.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Very nicely done! Kudos!

[The Looking Spoon]

Its just a random stock photo that I though looked sitcom-ish

[EQAndyBuzz]

The show is about a whore mongering drunk and his family.

They should just show reruns of “The Kennedy’s”
