Charlie Sheen Says They Should Just Cancel “Two and a Half Men”

Charlie Sheen recently voiced his opinion about “Two and a Half Men,” and said the show should just end this year. The veteran actor believes his replacement Ashton Kutcher is doing a good job, but expressed that he thinks it’s tough to replace someone on a hit T.V. show.

“I’ve done what he’s done,” Sheen said. “I’ve replaced a guy [Michael J. Fox on ‘Spin City’]. It’s so f—ing hard, you can’t believe it. It’s all you’re thinking about, and you’re surrounded by these ghosts. So, hats off to him for doing the best job that he can.”

Sheen believes the show should be canceled in May when the current season ends.

“I don’t think they should go on past this year. I just think that people are there because there’s nowhere else to go — yet.”

The star was fired from the show last year after a few arguments with the show’s boss, Chuck Lorre.

“I don’t think that [Kutcher’s] working with the best writing,” he says, “because Chuck is doing too many shows. He and Jon [Cryer] and Angus [T. Jones] deserve better material. They deserve what I had for the first five years. I don’t want to harp on them. Let the clueless stay clueless. I was a puppet there for ratings. But, whatever — I don’t care. I’ve moved on, and whatever they’re doing there is none of my business,” Sheen said.

Although the ratings aren’t as high as when Sheen was on the show, the CBS series still has a big following.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
