WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 2012 ― Two and a Half Men has consistently remained in the top ten this season. Remember when Charlie Sheen predicted it would tank without him? Apparently Ashton Kutcher and the rest of America didn’t get the memo. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Put that pipe down “Planet Sheen,” and re-discover the comedic greatness that used to delight us all. Your bad boy act got old a long time ago, and it’s time to grow up. And after that, maybe consult with those Big Bang geeks (also on CBS this evening) about developing a new and more useful theory of everything.
