"Recasting principals in a show can help, actually, taking a show that's getting a little tired around the edges and renewing it," said Tim Brooks, a former network executive and co-author of "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows."

If Sheen leaves CBS and "Two and a Half Men," said Brooks, "it's almost a certainty they'd give it a try" without him.

The question I pose is this, if Charlie Sheen was to get fired or leave Two and a Half Men for an extended period of time, who would you think could replace him short term???

I don't think that MJF is up for it. Medically.

It's only fair since Sheen replaced Fox on Spin City. :lol: I don't think he'll do it though. He seems to be content just doing guest appearances.

I don't think that MJF is up for it. Medically.

That's why Fox left Spin City, because he couldn't handle the schedule anymore, having to coordinate his medications with the long hours.

And besides, the role is so tailored to Charlie Sheen that I don't think Fox would work as a replacement. Obviously, they'd create a new character, but it wouldn't be the same.

2.5 Men has had a long enough run. If Charlie can't get his act together, then I think they should end the show.

Luke Wilson could fill Charlie Sheens' shoes in that sitcom just fine.

No Charlie = No Show. No argument.:D
