The New 'Two & A Half Men' Promo Poster Revealed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well, having a naked Ashton Kutcher is one way to make fans say "Charlie who?"

CBS has launched a very bare ad campaign for 'Two and a Half Men' Season 9, the first season with Ashton Kutcher and without Charlie Sheen.

In the new photo, series stars Angus T. Jones, Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer appear to be naked and holding up a sign that reads "All will be revealed ... 09.19.11." Cryer looks a bit jealous.

'Two and a Half Men' returns to CBS, sans Sheen, on Sept. 19 at 9PM. The network released the photo via Twitter.

Rumors are swirling about Sheen's character Charlie Harper getting killed off and Kutcher's character buying the house ... but what that means for Allan and Jake is unclear. Other than that, little is known about Kutcher's character.

I saw this picture too and was appalled at what they done. This is not Two and a Half Men but now it appears they are turning it into a more seductive racy show which they were known for anyway but it seems like they are taking it to the extreme now. Personally, ever since news came out that Ashton was going to replace Charlie Sheen I thought this show will not last long. However, I agreed to at least give a chance and watch at least ONE episode just to see how he fairs on it though I have my doubts it will not be very good. Ashton Kutcher may succeed in other projects but I don't think he has the acting experience nor the comedic talent to pull this one off.

Remember they hired Ashton to appeal to younger generation of viewers, & with this new promo poster, they try to now be a more edgy hipper show. Also why is Ashton look like one of the Geico Cavemen, & Jon Cryer checking out Ashton's "junk"?

Because Cryer being intimidated by a younger man's junk is funny! It seems to me like everyone who posts on the 2.5 board isn't even a fan. This show has always been raunchy. If that's something that doesn't suit you (and I'm not specifically talking about who I quoted above), why would they watch? Raunchy humor does not make a show unfunny. It's an acquired taste. The show happens to be a riot, and no one knows how Kutcher will do yet. He isn't this horrible actor everyone makes him out to be. Yes, he's no DeNiro, but who is? Cryer and the writers have carried this show for a long time, so replacing Sheen is actually less of a problem for me than it would have been to recast Cryer.

This picture is not that racy, lol. If showing men's feet is racy, than I must have been sucked into a vortex and sent back to 1902. For crying out loud, the show has always been racy. This is just people continuing to bash on a version of a show they have not seen yet, and also a large sum of people who haven't even seen the show! Trust me, I'm not trying to start a fight, especially not with one person, I just don't get the constant bickering about this show on its own board. If you don't like it or it doesn't appeal to you, don't post on the show's board. It's that simple.

MORE racy and seductive? I don't know how the show could be made more racy and be allowed on network TV. I think the promo photo is kinda humorous. I like that Jon Cryer is sort of the focus of it. I think he's hilarious on the show... especially in the older episodes.

I can't STAND to so much as look at Ashton Kutcher but I'll give it a chance. I wasn't crazy about last season so I'd probably be saying the same thing if Charlie was still on.

Perhaps the reason that I didn't like it was because they went into a different direction with the ads than what I was use to seeing with them wearing suits/character clothes when Sheen was still apart of the whole franchise. Now with him out of the picture I suppose they wanted to try something new and I suppose see the reaction that they would get it. Because I am not use to this with the show being so racy in the ads I took a negative approach to it. However, as I told my mother I do plan to give this show a chance. Though I am not a fan of Ashton Kutcher he may actually prove funny and might be actually be quite suited for this show. I don't know. We will just have to find out in September.
