Ashton Kutcher 'Concerned' About 'Two And A Half Men' Ratings Drop - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-13-2011, 08:24 AM

Ashton Kutcher, still reeling from the fallout of his one night stand with a blonde beauty in a San Diego hotel room, is now also dealing with a drastic ratings drop of his hit CBS show, Two and a Half Men, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The season premiere of ‘Men’ garnered an astounding 28.7 million viewers, but the episode that aired on Monday night had nearly half that figure, with 15.8 million people tuning in.

"Ashton is concerned that the ratings are dropping each week. However, to be fair, the season premiere of Two and a Half Men last year when Charlie Sheen was still on the show, had around 16 million people tuning in," a source close to Kutcher reveals.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kutcher is telling friends and associates that he is expecting his wife, Demi Moore, to file for divorce following a humiliating and very public a tryst he had with a woman half his wife's age.

“Ashton’s hopeful that the ratings on the show will stabilize, and the show will find it's groove. Even though the show came in third for the first time this season, it was up against Monday Night Football, and Dancing with the Stars. CBS still won the coveted 18-49 demographic, and Two and a Half Men is still the number one comedy on television," the insider tells RadarOnline.com.

I don't think Ashton needs to worry about the ratings of "Two and a Half Men". The regular viewers who have been watching for 8+ years will continue to watch. His marriage on the other hand he should be worried about! Big time!!

I agree Marv. What was he thinking? Well maybe he wasn't. I guess that's the problem.

Maybe the better question is "what was he thinking with?" (hint: it wasn't his brain!)

The initial ratings for the season premiere were about curiosity: After the public feud that led to Charlie Sheen's dismissal and his replacement by Ashton Kutcher, people were curious to see how this new version of the show would play out.

I watched it with dread and it was even worse than I could have imagined: I knew it wouldn't be the same show, but the new character was flat and there's no chemistry between he and Jon Cryer.

I think many fans who watched for eight seasons are turning away. This show should just be put to rest. The new character doesn't work and he's a square peg in a round hole.

And in the interest of disclosure, I've never cared for Ashton Kutcher and this aint helping matters any.

I have since stopped watching the show. The Ted McGinley years have begun.

I think they replaced one train wreck with another given what just went down in that hotel!

My wife and I gave the show a couple of episodes but after last nights show we will no longer watch it. No Jake, Judith, Herb or Evelyn. I thought last weeks episode with him hooking up with Courtney was the lamest episode yet. Just wondering if they are going to have Walden hook up with Chelsea or Mia in future episodes. Chuck Lorre should get on his knees and kiss Charlie Sheen's butt and have this season just be a bad dream season. The plug will be pulled by CBS and Warner Studio after this season. Maybe they can rename it Two Pathetic Men and Berta because that seems like what this show has become.

I'm the opposite. I've watched all the episodes this season and have enjoyed them. I haven't watched the show regularly since the end of season 1.

I was thinking the same thing! If they can bring back Bobby Ewing, they can bring back Charlie!

Brilliant and accurate opening paragraph. That is exactly what I was thinking. The "Ted McGinley" comment is hilarious.
