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...

LOL!

Thank you both for the kind words :-D

This was a fun one.

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

OTOH. Remember these two guys?

Yeah Nobody does. The star left. Solution promote the second banana to lead. Bring in a new second and write their character exactly the same as the one who left. It worked.

And how.

Barney Frank takes over the role of “Berta”.

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?

Alex, I'll take "Union Labor" for $200.........

I actually wouldn’t mind seeing the show go on with the rest of the cast. Jon Cryer has 20 times the talent Charlie Sheen does and his character is more interesting.

Or just recast the character. Maybe bring in Charlie’s brother the 200000 times more talented Emilio Estevez.

Actually to be properly pC he would not only have to be a black illegal alien he also would need to be gay and a muslim.

The problem with the last pic is Obama is not even 1/10th the man Ronald Reagan was or George W. Bush is.

LOL!!!!!!!

I’ve been on the set of Bones. Considering there’s only about 100 on that set and it’s an hour drama with a lot more complicated sets you have a point.
