I’ve only a couple of episodes and I wasn’t impressed with the series. Charlie Sheen came across to me as though he was just reciting learned lines and didn’t have any comedic timing.
When I heard that Ashton Kutcher had taken over and one of his first acts was to be fully nude on tv, I figured that would be it for tv.
I watched it a few times while overseas and it was the only English show on...Charlie Sheen came across as playing himself as he really is in real life.
The maid is hilarious and so is the mother. Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to give them a little more air time.
Ashton Kutcher was a ridiculous choice for a “replacement” character, he added nothing and adds nothing. Charlie Sheen came across as himself, for better or worse, and was believable in the role. It was almost autobiographical, or it was plausible to think it was. Kutcher is not believable in the role, can't act, isn't funny and the stupid shines right through, so he's ultimately being himself because he just can't help it.
