Anger Management - The Return of the Sheen.

So I can't be the only one excited for Charlie Sheens new show 'Anger Management' can I? Already picked  for a second season, before the first episode has even aired it seems that we may have a gem of a show on our hands and god do we need it after the disaster which was season 10 of Two and a Half Men.

I don't think any of us thought we'd miss Charlie as much as we did when he was sacked by Lorre but the predictable and horrendous casting of Ashton Kutcher, the terrible writing, the casting of Big Suze, the demise of Alans character and the lack of Jake has made Two and a Half men, well, half a show.


Who knows maybe all the hype around Anger Management is just that, hype. Hollywood loves a comeback and no one has fallen quite as fast and heavily as Sheen did so surely everyone will want his rise will be meteoric. But one thing we do know is it wasn't the writing which made 2.5 men great it really was Charlie and the dynamic he shared with Jon Cryer. If he can recreate even a bit of that chemistry with Selma Blair then surely the show has to be good right? Plus with any Sheen show we get the bonus of having a Martin Sheen episode and a Denise Richards show and any 2.5 men fan will remember these being some of the best episodes.

I for one can't wait. I miss having Charlie Sheen in my life. I'm sad I can no longer watch Men any more but hopefully Anger Management will fill the gap nicely. I just have one question has any UK broadcaster had the foresight to pick it up yet or will we be (for perception purposes) Anger Management-less?

The future of Two and a Half Men...

Now that Charlie Sheen's hell raising has gone viral and he has finally been sacked what does that mean for Two and a Half Men? I'm sure every fan has a theory.

But there is no need for it to finish. Charlie Harper can easily be killed off. How the hell he manages to stay alive is mentioned in almost every episode. Alan inherits the beach house, Jake moves in. Just imagine how funny the funeral episode will be. I'll bet they have been working on that one for a while. Or perhaps Charlie has a love child, that he has kept secret and it all comes out at the reading of the will and he leaves everything to him. So Alan and Jake have to look after the kid or they lose the beach house. We have our Two and a Half Men again.

Plus let's not forget in all this Charlie Sheen madness, how great Jon Cryer is as Alan. In many ways the show revolves around him. And none of the cast need to be written out with Charlie's demise. Even Rose the stalker could switch allegiances to Alan. If you think about all the great story-lines, they all feature Alan. I should imagine it would be a bigger blow if Jon Cryer quit.

But it seems I'm doing Charlie Sheen down here. I don't mean to. He has been brilliant in the show, over the years, and his on screen chemistry with the rest of the cast has been a joy to watch. Even through all his traumas, he has been spot on.

Perhaps because of all this publicity more people will now watch it on Comedy Central. It's a very funny show. You will be surprised how good it is.
Over.
