Good luck trying to put a “Winning!” spin on this, Charlie Sheen.

CBS and Warner Bros. Television have jointly announced that they have officially fired Charlie Sheen from Two and a Half Men.

“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on “Two and a Half Men” effective immediately.”

Winning!

 

[PantherLotus]

You guys know how big a 7-gram rock is, right? That's pretty serious stuff.




Edit:

One and a Half Men

 

[Darklord]

Now WE are winning.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Now it gets interesting.

 

[Fisticuffs]

is anyone seriously surprised?

 

[Ecce]

Expected, right? He has been in talks with a couple other networks for a new gig.

 

[G-Fex]

It'd be hilarious if they'd try to keep it on the air ala Seven rules.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

So what's his face from Full House will replace him?

 

[Hot Coldman]

What a total knob-end.

 

[StoOgE]

and he will have a new show now that he is out of the old contract making just as much money and will pull down better ratings than the rebooted 2.5 men.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Stamos is about to rock this shit. Stamos>>>Sheen.

 

[Articate]

Like that show wasn't already contentless. The fuck's it gonna be about now? Bye bye, two and a half men. I will never watch you again.

EDIT: seriously, the latest season has been absolute trash. The episodes are like 17 minutes, now.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

At least he has that side gig as an assassin for the Vatican.

 

[Goro Majima]

I'm looking forward to seeing who is going to replace him. I'll laugh so hard if the show somehow does better with some other "has been" that knocks the role out of the park even harder.

edit: someone read my mind, my first thought was John Stamos!

 

[NYR]

and he will have a new show now that he is out of the old contract making just as much money and will pull down better ratings than the rebooted 2.5 men.

Rumor is Mark Cuban and him are planning a vehicle for him on HDNet....

Edit:

One and a Half Men

Damn, I wish I was that clever when I posted this thread. Kudos...

 

[Harry Potter]

PLAN BETTER

 

[DJ_Tet]

Nothing says winning like going from the #1 ranked sitcom on networks to a reality show on Mark Cuban's HDNet channel.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Like that show wasn't already contentless. The fuck's it gonna be about now? Bye bye, two and a half men. I will never watch you again.

Why the fuck did you watch it before?

 

[slaughterking]

Keeping an eye on his Twitter will be double the fun in the coming hours.

 

[Salmonax]

Like that show wasn't already contentless. The fuck's it gonna be about now? Bye bye, two and a half men. I will never watch you again.

The real question is why you were ever watching it in the first place.

EDIT: Beaten. But still WINNING.

 

[Zwei]

Losing!

Aw man, I can't wait to hear more Charlie audio now.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Hire Mike Tyson to replace Charlie Sheen, do not acknowledge that Mike Tyson and Charlie Sheen look nothing alike.

 

[Buckethead]

People weren't watching this show for Duckie, that's for sure.

 

[Vox-Pop]

The new Micheal Scott please.

 

[MisterHero]

meeeennnnnnnnn

 

[snoopeasystreet]

He needs his own reality tv show like a week ago.

 

[Articate]

The real question is why you were ever watching it in the first place.

It used to be good. It's like being in a long-term relationship. It drags on for a year without being any fun before you finally decide to end it.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

CBS and Warner Bros are just jealous because he's got tigers blood

 

[PhoenixDark]

I know the show was uber popular, but everything I've heard suggests it was an abominably bad show that wasn't funny.

Sheen will find something better.

 

[Karak]

Rumor is Mark Cuban and him are planning a vehicle for him on HDNet....

I don't see how this will be anything but good for him. In some ways the show was already going downhill, it was indeed a bit of a weird duck and love him or hate him he does TV really well. Also with all the hate for the producer anyway I could see him working with a couple other(thousands) of people who fucking hate that dude.

I am not really pro charlie Sheen but I think this is best. I actually like his co-star so I do hope he and all the others land on their feet.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

THIS

IS WINNING.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

The new Micheal Scott please.

Charlie Sheen on The Office would be fantastic.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Oh thank god, Two and a Half Men is now doomed.

 

[Poyunch]

Now they should just change up the actor of Sheen's character at random episode intervals. One day it's one guy and in two weeks it's another.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I know the show was uber popular, but everything I've heard suggests it was an abominably bad show that wasn't funny.

Sheen will find something better.

Here is every plot that I have seen from the show (probably about 10 in total):

Charlie Sheen doesn't do anything but drink and have sex with hot women.
Jon Cryer wishes he did, and pays alimony.
The kid is fat and stupid.

 

[NYR]

The new Micheal Scott please.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

What would be really interesting is if they got a fairly well known tv actor to take his role and the show picked up even more viewers. That would kill Sheen.

 

[VeryGooster]

So GAF, which of you has the winning attitude to be this man's paid WINNING intern?

Tweet tweet

 

[PantherLotus]

I know the show was uber popular, but everything I've heard suggests it was an abominably bad show that wasn't funny.

It was a sitcom. It had moments of funny, interspersed with an awful lot of lowest-common-denominator BS. The best show I saw was the one where he tried to come up with a jingle for some anime show the kid liked.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Shouldn't this have said "...we have decided to terminate Sheen, and CANCEL THE SHOW?"

 

[SUPREME1]

Guess he lost?

 

[threenote]

good, fuck him.

 

[SaskBoy]

The real question is why you were ever watching it in the first place.

EDIT: Beaten. But still WINNING.

I think Jon Cryer can be funny at times.

 

[bjb]

I hope they keep the show and make it an interracial family, would definitely bring in a lot of new viewers

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I know the show was uber popular, but everything I've heard suggests it was an abominably bad show that wasn't funny.

Sheen is abominably bad these days. He's perfect for that show because he could just mail it in from day one. I can't imagine he had to put in much effort.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Replace him with a woman. Comedy hi-jinks ensue. WOAHHHHH

 

[Always-honest]

there was no other choice.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

What would be really interesting is if they got a fairly well known tv actor to take his role and the show picked up even more viewers. That would kill Sheen.

Even better if they didn't bother to write in a new character. Just pick right up where Sheen left off.

 

[jmdajr]

ganador!
