Ashton Kutcher replace's Charlie Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'

Apparently more people turned out for this week's show (20 million) than for all but one of Charlie's shows.

I suspect however, it will lose far more NEXT week


The season premiere of "Two and a Half Men" introducing Ashton Kutcher brought in a record-breaking 28.7 million viewers last week. Not all of them stayed, but the second episode still posted very strong numbers.

Last night's episode drew 20.3 million viewers, a 30% drop from the premiere. A drop was expected, since many viewers tuned in for the premiere to learn the fate of Charlie Sheen's character and how Kutcher's character would enter the show.

The Hollywood Reporter says last night's episode marked a 50% gain compared to the second episode of "Men" last season -- very encouraging news.

IF it holds even close to this, I doubt Chuck Lorre would care about our criticisms, but I would guess those numbers will drop like a rock.
 
OK, I think your reactions are too strong for what it is. I think you are reacting more to the back story than to the show itself. Basically, I think many of you want to hate it.

Last week was weak. No argument. The premiere was pretty good. Personally, I think the jury is still out and I'll give it a few weeks. These two shows were necessary to set up the sit- Now I will wait and see if the -com develops.
 
I agree it wasn't very funny....but,

I think they are still setting up the groundwork for 2.5 Men 2.0.

They want to have a reason that Alan and Jake still live there, instead of just making assumptions. I'll give it some time, yet.
 
Actually it was much funnier than last week, but primarily due to Jake. The problem is a character like Waldon who makes Allan look normal is really just pathetic.

Maybe Waldon's character is why Demi kicked him to the curb, after all she is almost 20 years older.:rolleyes:
 
I don't find the show funny at all. It has lost its appeal and I think last night's episode is the last one I'll watch.

I have to agree the show will not last beyond February.

It is missing the loser against the killer lady's man or the child against the adult.

Both characters are too alike.

The ratings decline continues..

“How I Met Your Mother” continues to enjoy ratings dominance in the 8PM half-hour; it absolutely dominated the competition on even week-to-week ratings.

“Mother” opened CBS’ comedy block with a 4.5 adults 18-49 rating and 10.5 million viewers. The hold from last week is particularly impressive given the fact that “Two and a Half Men” is still declining as the curiosity buzz for Ashton Kutcher’s role fades. Even with a weaker ‘halo effect’ (6.1 adults 18-49 rating and 17.3 million viewers, as compared to a 7.2 and 20 million last week), “Mother” remains strong.

Except 17.3 million people are still tuning-in. Who are these people? Just about all my friends, family and coworkers who were watching this show have dropped it and deleted timers. Has this showed tapped into the 40-to-60 year-old female Demi-graphic (pun intended) in which the ladies are watching just to see a shirtless Walden in need of mothering?
 
I deleted my timer...Ashton is still playing Kelso...A food fight in a restaurant with a young kid? Come on...And yes, the part with Jake was good, but again, as has been the mode, if Jake there then we get fart jokes...All the really good humor has left this show.

Two and a Half Men:rip:

27 m, then 20m, then 17m, give it four weeks and it will be down in single digits. :)
 
SAD to say, but it looks like Charlie was the real Heart of the show after all. Without him you are left with backdrop characters who have no one to support. Ashton Kutcher is still playing Kelso and I don't believe for a minute that he is a billionaire on the show either. I predict early cancellation of this turkey. Looks like Charlie gets the last laugh , the settlement $$$$$ and he is still Wining..:cool:
 
Well, I'm starting to read a lot of negative comments posted all over the place about the Walden show. I wonder if it's too late for everyone to kiss and make-up and have Sheen return at mid-season? Sheen made his "What Was I Thinking" tour last month so I don't see why CBS wouldn't take him back...just borrow a storyline from a soap and Viola!

I can see the story now. Rose faked Charlie's death and has him locked away in a basement somewhere. Welcome back Charlie. Kutcher's onscreen wife takes him back and Good bye Kutcher .
