Watched 2 minutes then had to shut it off. Depressing.

Show is gone, kids taken away, and clearly not in a clear mental state.

Dude, you are definitely not winning.

This is so played out. The guy used to be funny and marketable. Now, after a couple of weeks of this crap, he's just a punchline. The only work he'll ever get from here on in wil be self parody cameos a la Mike Tyson. While I generally feel sorry for people with mental illnesses, not this time. He's an a-hole.

Mark Cuban has apparently reached out to Charlie Sheen to have a show on the cable network that Cuban owns. No word on whether it will be a reality show or another sitcom though.

Just watched the first podcast, expecting it to contain a lot of winning. It did not. Why did he need his crew around him the whole time, that would've been 10 times better if he was just by himself. Their constant laughing at his jokes was driving me crazy, may as well just had Kevin Eubanks there.

Well...he's officially fired now. If it wasn't already interesting, if should be now.

Anyone want to guess how long until we find out he’s asphyxiated on his own vomit?

I'm sure it will be something much more spectacular than that.

"They continue to be in breach, like so many whales," Sheen's statement reads. "It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of their bazillions, never have to look at whatshis[expletive] again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."

Wow..

I thought that the first episode of Two and a Half Men next year would have more viewers than the Superbowl. I say it isn't over yet, that they'll reconcile. The Network is going to lose a ton of money.. I am really surprised by this decision.. but not surprised by Sheen's reaction. I am getting pretty sick of the whole thing.

I always wondered why the hell his character wore those stupid shirts!

No big surprise. I would think that show is dead.

At this point being fired from the top rated comedy on T.V., and literally costing that network something like an expected $200 million dollars. I find it hard to believe that anyone will take the risk of hiring Charlie Sheen as long as he continues to act erratically.

This is pretty good. Bill Maher points out that while Charlie goes on and on about how he's so out-of-this-world-cool, he makes his living doing a rather lame, mainstream show on a boring old big 3 network.

Top rated comedy on TV this year is Modern Family, last year it was Big Bang Theory... but obviously 2.5 Men makes gazillions more dollars than either show.

He was making $2 million dollars every 30 minute episode. That's pretty cool if you ask me.

I admit that the clip where skulks behind his goddesses like a dirty old uncle was amusing for a minute, but as a RL troll he should stay in RL and not ruin Internet (and the PGTs of CP) for all of us. Kids are so impressionable.

I take it that Bree Olsen decided to leave the love nest before Charlie crashes and goes from witticims to poetry of the fists. Smart.

Okay, so he's just as cool as Rush Limbaugh.

The point is that he talks about himself like he's cross between Johnny Carson and Jimi Hendrix, when really he's just a guy on a corny sit-com beloved by the "middle America" he cracks wise about.

He's like Tony Danza with a drug addiction and hang-on skanks. How cool is Tony Danza? Is he a rockstar from Mars?
