Sorry...I disagree with ya'll. I like the show and I think that Kutcher is pretty funny and it all depends if he can be funny reading somebody elses writing. I like the show and think that it's too bad the kid grew up as he's been pretty funny too. I am glad Sheen didn't get his job back as I think he's been a total *** and does not deserve all that money. So I am keeping an open mind...
Loved the show.. some things were a bit shocking at times.. and it should not have benn on at 8pm..
but how are they going to change the actor? A whole new thing or are we supposed to accept Kutcher as charlie?
charlies character, was sadly.. who he is. .. but it made for good tv... what will kutcher be?
Kutcher is WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too young for the role. Way. It won't fit and it won't work.
It really is too bad. I agree that Sheen was an ***, however, he did make a good point when he said that all of us sit around and laugh at him boozing and sleeping with hookers and being a cad on the show, but then condemn him for doing it in real life, and that is kind of hypocritical.
Personally I liked the show and I am sad that it will come to an end (and it will.)
As far as Angus T. Jones, what little I have seen of him in interviews and such he seems like a really nice, level headed, smart kid. He has visited kids at St. Jude and is involved with other charities, like The Special Olympics. He has grown up and slimmed down a lot, but I think maybe some good will come out of his career.
Agreed that Kutcher will not be satisfactory replacement as "Charley"...much too young and nowhere nearly enough "bark" on him...absolutely the worst possible choice other than Roseanne Barr!
Maybe the writers can work him in some other way, but surely not Kutcher as a Charlie Sheen substitute.
I have only watched a few episodes of 2 and a half, never liked it, but my mom and grandma loved it, I don't find it at all hypocritical to laugh at his character and then critic his real life, that is a show and not real life, big difference IMHO. as for ashton, I never liked the guy and probably won't care one way or the other about him replacing charlie ( WINNNNNING) on the show. But it has been done before remember bewitched and the 2 darrens? But I don't think ashton will make a good replacement either way, show will be gone soon IMO.
I've seen one episode of 2 1/2 men, and that was enough for me.
The last time I watched an Ashton Kutcher movie, I promised myself "Never again."
TV and movie characters are usually extreme exaggerations of real behavior. Sheen makes a big mistake if he thinks he can behave like a TV character and be accepted.
