The Torpedoes Of Truth
You could make a point about how CBS had dealt with troublesome stars in the past by temporarily replacing them with look-alikes, then settling things behind the scenes so the stars could return to the series, the obvious example being that season on the Dukes Of Hazzard when Bo & Luke's "cousins" filled in for them after a contract dispute.
Never mind. Reading that back, the whole argument sounds utterly stupid.

How bout when Grady moved in when Fred went to St Louis....
Either way, there is the rancid smell of the "Second Darren on Bewitched" nature to this. It didn't work when Hagar replaced Roth, so it certainly won't work if John Stamos substitutes for Sheen. And Stamos should know this, having already replaced Dennis Wilson in the Beach Boys, which ended up with him awkwardly crooning Wilson's signature tune "Forever".
Good writing could make it funny and trash Sheen in the process...
Yet that couldn't do it alone. You'd need an engaging actor with good delivery, not to mention some sort of personality that would not be a mere rewrite of the Sheen character. I never saw a single episode of Spin City after Michael J. Fox left (to be honest, I only saw a handful with Fox) and Sheen replaced him, but there has to be a reason the show went off the air at the end of that season.
Carlos Estavez looks like Eddie when he hit the skids hard. It must be true the modern cocaine is cut with meth. That would explain the tooth loss and go, go, go for days.Originally Posted by Kristy

Shouldn't generalise but actors seem to make pretty shitty parents.
This whole porn star thing is ingenious. You can't get busted for prostitution. If you film it you are making a movie. If you don't you are rehearsing for a movie. Heidi Fleiss should have set up a porn movie production company and called what was going on above the Roxy an audition session.
Yeah. I look exactly like that when I wake up at 4:30 am because I have to pee so bad I can't sleep through it anymore. I also kinda looked like that last week when I got a haircut & saw myself in their big mirror. Huge bags under my eyes I had not noticed before. So lighting has something to do with it. Only reason I am kinda defending him is he looked pretty good on his webcast Saturday. We can't compare to how he looked on 2 1/2 Men. He had a team of makeup & hair people working on him and the lights & camera angles made to help him.The Torpedoes Of Truth
Just really hard to tell. If all the recent pics looked like this 1 I would be on board with you. But I am seeing conflicting images. With Eddie EVERY pic was like that for a time.

No shit.
The don't call it Hollywierd for nothing. It's been an asylum for a century. It might be actually where the decline of western civilization started.
You just don't lay there and piss the bed Motley Crue style?Yeah. I look exactly like that when I wake up at 4:30 am because I have to pee so bad I can't sleep through it anymore.

Or spin offs. All in the Family spun off The Jeffersons and Maude. But you need unique popular characters in a show to do that.
The ONLY guy that can take Charlies place.
Yeah and they should make him the same exact character...
He can say he got a facelift...
And when Sheen comes back next year, CBS can say it was all a dream, like that one season on Dallas.Yeah and they should make him the same exact character...
He can say he got a facelift...

Or the ridiculous attempt to keep "Chico & The Man" going after Freddie Prinze died, by bringing in some other random Hispanic kid named "Raoul".

Ah yes, TV's greatest serial killer.The ONLY guy that can take Charlies place.
No he doesn't PLAY serial killers. He kills every TV show he joins up with.
Happy Days. The Love Boat. Married With Children. And others I'm sure I forgot about.
Ted McGinley, that's funny shit there.
They're talking to Rob Lowe.
Look I read it on the fox news site, it must be true, right?
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...n-report-says/
His character can't be replaced. Period. They have to kill him off or have him elope with the Hawaiian Tropic girls and leave the house to Jon Cryer, the kid and the maid. This way they can bring him back if shit ever gets fixed.
They could have a new actor come in as a new character. Rob Lowe isn't too bad a choice. But the show will suck now. Best bet is to find a female star to come in as a new love interest for Jon Cryer. maybe a Heather Locklear type. (can't be her personally cause she already fucked Charlie in the show)
But how do they keep the shows name the same?
I feel bad for the kid cause I don't think he will get many other acting opportunities & he just this season signed a nice paycheck deal. His best bet is to start hanging out at Charlies house & hoping for some of those fat checks made out to CASH to drop his way.
Ted McGinley....the Vivian Campbell of the acting world.
Well, isn't the kid about 18 by now? So he's closer to a man than half a man. Bring in Ann Coulter - literally half a man - as the love interest. Jon Cryer doesn't seem all that heterosexual to me, so he'd probably be OK with it.
If I was rich like him I would be doing exactly the same thing. Except I would take a shower and run a comb through my hair befrore making an ass out of myslef.
The messiah has returned. It's Charlie Sheen. He can't die and nobody could handle his power if it was handed to them.
No. You would pay someone else to comb your hair for you.
Maybe I would get the Princess to do it for me.
You need not be rich to party like a rock star...
Uhhhh..... I don't thinketh so!
...though it helps if ye can make your own wine.
Well I think we can all afford to party like Eddie Van Halen at $8 a bottle for Smoking Loon Cabernet.
not winning. and the comedown's gonna be hard.The Torpedoes Of Truth
If you're 2 1/2 men...you don't recreate the show at all...
Like sadaist said...Sheen's character has to go...in a strange way that somehow mirrors his current life...I don't know...have him kidnapped by porn stars, or some shit like that...and have his character mentioned every other show with "real life" Charlie rants in some sort of fucking mocking way...
Alan gets the house, and an old college buddy shows up after losing everything because of drugs, or mirroring the original...because he gets divorced...
Then you go out and get a "Charlie Sheen."
Who do you get?
Go out and fucking get Colin Farrell...
Rob Lowe would have been fucking ideal 15 years ago...but after his past few gigs...he's almost too respectable.
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
And if you can't, there's always Two Buck Chucks......
Colin Farrell...
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.
It was a mediocre show that was at 170 episodes which is close to the maximum any comedy show ever gets to.
Listening to people you would think it was some amazing innovative brilliant art rather than a run of the mill method of selling detergent and cat food.
Now Charlie Sheen Lashes Out at Jon Cryer; Calls Former Co-Star 'Traitor'
Published: March 08, 2011 @ 1:26 pm
Charlie Sheen has turned his acid tongue to lashing out at Jon Cryer.
The newly unemployed "Two and a Half Men" star reached out to E! Online on Tuesday to lambaste his former co-star, calling Cryer a variety of unflattering names that start with "T."
Calling by phone from his home, AKA "Sober Valley Lodge," Sheen fumed that Cryer had not shown him any support during his very public feud with "Men" creator Chuck Lorre and subsequent firing. Sheen said, "Jon has not called me. He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he's a troll. He issued a statement. Is it gonna take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?"
For the record, Cryer has not issued a statement on Sheen's war of words with Lorre -- a Twitter statement from someone claiming to be Cryer and declaring himself "shocked" by the whole Sheen situation turned out to be bogus.
Cyrer's silence may speak louder than words. By not publicly commenting, it appears the actor may have permanently severed ties with Sheen.
Asked about a possible reconciliation should Cryer reach out to him, Sheen said, "What's there to say? I'll tell him 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll.' When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role I'll say, 'You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.' "
i'd go as far as to say absolute fucking shite... never made it through a whole 'episode'.
