Two and a Half Men, once the highest-rated TV comedy in the U.S., is ending its run with a 12th and final season as broadcaster CBS revamps its lineup to win back younger viewers.
The show, which starred Charlie Sheen until he was replaced by Ashton Kutcher in 2011, will retain its slot on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT, the network said in a statement. Series creator Chuck Lorre “will be creating a season-long event to send it off,” said Nina Tassler, the network’s head of entertainment.
“It’s important to keep your fans engaged,” she said Wednesday at a CBS news conference in New York. CBS is seeking to regain ground it lost last season to NBC and Fox. While CBS is still the most-watched network, it had the largest ratings decline for younger audiences among the big four broadcast networks in the past season, with average nightly viewers falling 18 per cent to about three million in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen data.
Though Two and a Half Men continued to appear regularly among the top 25 programs in the ratings after the transition to Kutcher, it had been surpassed by CBS hits like The Big Bang Theory. Sheen was fired from the show after making disparaging comments about Lorre.

I know. It just wasn’t the same.
And I as a kid always laughed at Les Nessman’s imaginary office walls and door!
And came from an actual turkey drop event in the early 60s.
Because I’m an imperfect flawed human! {Sound of palm smacking forehead} Of course Bailey was hot and smart in her own way.
Good riddance to that vulgar trash.
without Charlie, the show was crap and died the death it deserved
looks like Charlie won ... while pissing off a big Hollywood lib
I love a happy ending (so does Charlie ;)
THANK GOD.
12 years to late.
I never watched one either.
My previous comment was based on just their commercials.
Hey! I always said nice things about YOU!
Libs keep trying to shove this crap down our throats and they fail to understand when hardly anyone watches it.
Sort of like CNN.
Now Laz...you know I luvs ya!
Forgot the line about Les Nessman holding up in a phone booth as the crowd attacked him ... ROFL! Man, that has to be one of the funniest bits ever on TV.
Agree about The Knack. The only time The Knack broke upward again was in briefly in the mid-90s when “Reality Bites” featured it.
Of course, that was way back when Jeanane Garofalo was funny, pretty and sane, so it’s been a long time.
