Charlie Sheen Campaigns for a Two and a Half Men Reboot After Roseanne's Cancellation (Charlie MIGHT have a good idea)
After Roseanne‘s cancellation in the wake of a racist tweet by star Roseanne Barr, Charlie Sheen has an idea for a reboot to fill that nostalgia void.
The 52-year-old actor took to Twitter to say “good riddance” to the sitcom canned by ABC and tout a revival of his former show Two and a Half Men.
“adios Roseanne! good riddance. hashtag NOT Winning. the runway is now clear for OUR reboot,” he wrote on Tuesday, adding the hashtag #CharlieHarperReturns and a photo of a script.
Jon Cryer, Sheen’s costar on the long-running CBS comedy, retweeted the post with a message: “What could possibly go wrong?”
Two and a Half Men ran for 12 seasons from 2003 until 2015. However, Sheen’s contract was terminated in 2011 after the star entered a rehabilitation center and verbally attacked the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, in a number of interviews. Ashton Kutcher stepped in for the remainder of the sitcom’s run as a new character.

This former A+ list mostly television actor turned someone with permanent A list name recognition is pitching a reboot where people would actually get to watch him die in real life while his character does the same.

Yeah, does he really think that another network is going to give a show to a crazy person who loves to post conspiracy theories on twitter? That just proves he is a nut job.

I would prefer Charlie's reboot to Roseanne's. As fucked up as he may be, he is a damn good comedic actor.
Plus, despite his reputation as a train wreck IRL, I have heard that he is very professional, on time and easy to work with. And he is incredibly generous with his crews.

A reboot after the show has been gone for only three years? Not likely.

But Charlie’s been gone for 7. The show went to shit with Kutcher.

What does this even mean? First of all, he always had A list name recognition. He was a movie star in the 80s and 90s. Second, the show is about watching him die?

Please, no more reboots. No one is clamoring for the return of the sociopathic Mr. Sheen. And deranged white trash Roseanne needs to be placed in some sort of sheltered accommodation without internet access for the remainder of her life.

The Jake character was the funniest thing about the show. After he grew up, though...meh.

It was very successful here in Germany, it still runs in rotation a lot; r17 that's like saying Cheers and Frasier were bad shows, I didn't like it, but it's a bit of an idiotic comment, only kind of acceptable if one doesn't like commercial television in general, or maybe television in general; which tends to be more intelligent and educated than movies, because you are always so negative about television on here. Chuck Lorre's opus magnum.

Reboots remind me of all those versions staring Lucy. The originals are mostly always the best. People age, including characters. Presenting Charlie again as a pussy hound would be controversial and bizarre.
I'd like to see new sitcoms that are great comedy, attractive to near all adult demograhics. The situational ones from the past were among the best.

Why doesn't Sheen just do a show just like his old show, in modified setting, with the same cast members?
Then again, it wouldn't work

They should just do a show of all mentally ill actors; Roseanne, Charlie, Brett Butler, Randy Quaid. And all the extras and crew have to be mentally ill too. Let's see how they like having to deal with one another.

Let's trot out all the mentally ill for our amusement. As long as they get paid, there's nothing morally bankrupt about that. Elect them all to office, so the news doesn't have to take a break to focus on reality.

Charlie Sheen is a serial abuser of women. He can fuck off. If racism isn't tolerated (let alone rewarded) in 2018, then misogyny shouldn't be tolerated either.

Oh Geesh, it was a highly rated show, so highly rated that when the star left it ran several more years without the lead.

A show with Charlie Sheen, Rosanne, Kathy Griffith, and Rosie O'Donnell. It would be good! There would be DL threads! Maybe Ann Coulter,too.

I knew one dude who didn't even own a TV, but he would got to a friend's house just to watch Two and a Half Men when Charlie was still on it.
So yes, a lot of people did like the show,

I like that one episode of Two and A Half men when they had that sexual innuendoe joke? Anyone remember that particular episode? ;) As far as conspiracies I think the biggest conspiracy might involve his father having a lot more pull in the in the industry than he gets credit for, maybe because of his liberal status,but his son gets away with absolutely EVERYTHING! How he hasn’t been black listed in all the years he’s been partying with drugs, sex, pornstars/hookers, one night stands, fights, overdoses, STDs, orgies, DUIs, multiple partners, rape accusations, irresponsible parenting and that’s probably just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s beyond me especially in the #METOO Era. He’s slightly a tad less wilder but Leo DiCaprio who’s also liberal just seems to get away with so much as well, it seems like common knowledge inside the Industry NOT to say anything negative toward either of them.
They both remind me of that episode of the Simpsons with Frank Grimes. We see them and their (or Homer Simpson in that episode) disgusting behavior, despicable immaturity and disturbing interactions with others Homers coworkers and friends, in Charlie’s case just about ALL of Hollywood,and they’re all like “That’s Our Charlie!!!!!!” 😆😝😄😁😉😝

I’ll watch the Aston Kutcher episodes if someone put a gun to my head and made me watch only 2 seasons of the show. Even Charlie's attire got on my nerves, bowling shirts, shorts long socks and slippers if he was at home. Who wears that? It’s Malibu, right next to the beach where everyone wears flip flops, sandals or at least slippers without those ridiculous socks when they’re at home. I know they’re not allowed to show bare soles on tv for more than maybe 10 seconds. Only exception was Al Bundy but the show centered around his feet and feet in general. But even Married...with Children had the common sense to end after so many years and they were low brow too but the only one that was gettin’ any was Kelly. Even with Kelly it was only Bud making the sexual innuendo jokes and I know the Bundys had their share as well but they were usually funny. Than even the raunchier shows like South Park and a show with actual SEX in the title with Sex in the City knew when to cool it down and go other places. It just became a one trick pony show got old and stale and that was after maybe Two and a Half years. That was the beginning of this CBS greed era where once popular shows just keep losing cast members, viewers, EVERYTHING but they keep going on. Look at the CSI’s, Criminal Minds and NCIS. They’re about to end that obnoxious Big Bang Theory but the damn Sheldon character still around. It’s like no ones heard of just ending a show. How long was According to Jim on the air? And Freaks and Geeks? Now which of these two is considered a true classic? As Timmy from Seinfeld would say “just end it.”
