It looks like Warner Brothers sees neither the humor nor philosophical value in “winning” and “tiger blood.” Confirming the worst for “Two and a Half Men” fans, the studio behind the CBS mega-hit announced Monday that it has terminated Charlie Sheen’s contract on the show.
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on “Two and a Half Men” effective immediately,” read a statement, first published by Variety and THR.
Neither CBS nor WBTV has announced whether “Men” will resume without Sheen next season, for which it had already been picked up. Production was ended on the current season, the show’s eighth, following a series of erratic interviews Sheen gave, some of which included inflammatory remarks directed at showrunner Chuck Lorre.
Readers, should the network and studio decide the benefits are too significant to officially cancel “Men,” who would you recommend as a replacement for the Charlie Sheen character? Should there be one?
