Okay, Charlie Sheen's gone. Now what? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There are quite a few options on the table for Two and a Half Men. What should Chuck Lorre do? If you were Warner Bros. TV and CBS, what would you want done with your cash-cow?

I am sure they have very talented writers to make Charlie Harper's exit mean something. With that said though, I just don't see any way that they can continue with the show. Something tells me deep down Charlie will be back if only for a few more episodes....If they even renew it.

I agree with you, but something inside me wants to see the show (or a variation thereof) be a massive success despite his exit. I think the "final insult" would be for Charlie to be replaced by the likes of Rob Lowe or John Stamos, without the show losing any steam.

Oh, I agree with you Brad, I think the rest of the cast deserves that.

In the immortal words of "Dandy" Don Meredith "Turn out the lights, the party's over!" CBS/Warner Brothers should pull the plug and free up the cast and crew to look for other work.

I think they'll try to go on with the show. It's alot harder to try to get the next hit sitcom then to go on with the show with all the supporting cast. The show's already renewed for next year so they don't have anything to lose. If it fails then at least they tried.

The show's been on since 2003, anyway. They've had 8 highly-rated seasons - I say cut your losses and move on.

Coming this fall: After Charlie is tragically eaten by pack of wild bears, Alan and Jake move in with Alan's newly-divorced college roommate, Uncle Jesse Katsopolous. Jon Cryer and John Stamos star in Two and a Have Mercy, only on CBS!

Agreed! Like when Charlie replaced Michael J. Fox on Spin City.

I wish Michael J. Fox were well enough to replace Charlie now!

ROFLMAO!!!

I think it should go on for at least one more season with a different character to give it closure. Then pulll the plug after the 9th season, it's been on since 2003; that's long enough.
