Charlie Sheen Breaks Silence on Angus T. Jones 'Meltdown,' Says "Two and a Half Men" Is 'Cursed'

Charlie Sheen is speaking out about his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Angus T. Jones’ recent “meltdown,” in which the 19-year-old actor referred to the Chuck Lorre comedy as “filth” and begged viewers to “please stop watching.”

In a statement to People, Sheen zinged, “With Angus’ Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed.”

The comment references the Heaven's Gate cult, whose 39 members killed themselves in 1997 in an effort to reach what they presumed to be an alien spacecraft following Comet Hale-Bopp.



Charlie Sheen has had many “meltdowns” of his own which led to his firing from the show last year.

Forget cursed - more like long in the tooth. This show has been on since 2003. With the kid of age now, where's the real conflict? (Story-wise, I mean.)

[*ROGER*]

I've never even seen this dopey show and I have absolutely no idea what it's about. I just know Charlie Sheen is a total sack of dog poo.

Yeah the show should just be called "Three Men" now.

Charlie leaving left an opening to freshen up the show, but they botched it. After you had seen enough episodes with Charlie you could see it was a one-note show. I'm amazed it continued so successfully for the 8 years of Sheen. I think the show is not really filth, so much as very thin plot with a lot of not so subtle humor, so it is really an undisguised barrage of one type of jokes. I noticed a recent episode only ran 19 minutes, that is how thin the plots are. 19 minutes of the same thing (in a 10th season no less) would seem like filth to many and they do push the envelope hard because they are probably out of ideas.

Charlie Sheen: Angus T. Jones Has Suffered From Chuck Lorre's "Hive of Oppression"

Charlie Sheen says that it's "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre's fault that Angus T. Jones bashed his own show.

"I dare anyone to spend ten years in the laugh-track that is Chuck Lorre's hive of oppression and not suffer some form of an emotional tsunami," Sheen told TMZ. "Obviously, not having been there for some time, the Angus T. Jones that I knew and still love is not the same guy I saw on YouTube yesterday."

^ Leave it to Charlie to get into the fray!!!

I have to wonder if Charlie doesn't know what he's talking about here.

I'm guessing that Charlie associates every religious person with the heaven's gate cult.

I remember that in 1996 or so, Charlie himself announced that he had become a born-again Christian. Obviously, that didn't last too long.

You're totally right.

Besides, we all knew Charlie just couldn't keep quiet when this story broke!!!

I'll be very surprised if Two and a Half Men is renewed for another season.

I thought for sure the show would be cancelled after the Sheen soap opera, but I was wrong. I think if the ratings are still good, it will get renewed for next season. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!

This is really getting to be like a morbid endurance test, i.e. "how BAD can this show get and still get people to watch it"??

The answer? Apparently, pretty damned bad.

I've managed to watch about ten minute chunks of the show maybe two or three times and I have to say, with no disrespect intended to fans, that this is the most laughless, two-dimensional, deadening 'sitcom' I think I've ever seen. Yes, I've followed some dogs in my time, but at LEAST they have likeable characters to leaven the cliched scripts. Watching this show is like giving up on quality for all time, surrendering to the notion that 'if it's on, I'll watch it, just because I've always watched it, and I'll laugh when the nice laugh track tells me to."

Ugh.
