CBS is already the most successful network in terms of ratings. Pulling the plug on "Two and a Half Men" is not going to kill them. And seriously I wish they just do it and end the madness for everyone!

Or what CBS could do is simply replace Charlie Sheen with somebody else.

I don't think that would work. Charlie Sheen has made that role his own and he is irreplaceable (as is most of the regular cast in Two and a Half Men).

THM is a lot better than I thought it would be. When it first came out, I dismissed it as Charlie Sheen's desperate, last-ditch attempt to revive his failing career and was pleasantly surprised when the show actually made me laugh.

Someone described this show as "half an hour of sex jokes and innuendo". ABCs Melissa and Joey is a far better example of that. THM has quite a few sources of humour; the tension between Alan and his ex; their stupid/lazy/inept son; the persistence of Rose; the vulgar bluntness of Bertha; the list goes on...

While I do agree with whoever said that THM is just nothing but 30 minutes of sex jokes, you have to admit...they're really good sex jokes that make the viewers laugh.

I also agree that the most laughs come from the tension between Alan and Judith, the somewhat creepy persistence of Rose, and the banter between Charlie and Alan.

That show is still going??!

Was never particularly funny to begin with.
No wonder it's getting tired.

From what I heard, Now that Charlie Sheen is fired, the producers are now planning on replacing him with another actor. Let's all pray that the show'll be funny without him now.
