What makes me most nervous about this; and I mean, really nervous: is the fact that the writer will be Bruce Helford. Bruce wrote for the Drew Carey Show and the George Lopez show. Which of both, in my opinion, sucked majorly.

Drew Carey and George Lopez shows were great.

That's what worries you? How about being based on a one-off movie that wasn't all that good. How can they make a sitcom about it?

This will definitely not be WINNING.

Sheesh! This guy needs to sit down with his agent and look at putting together a project for the big screen. Maybe a dramatic role of a down and out junkie.

Hollywood loves a comeback, but you got to prove that you still have your acting chops.

The potential upside is huge. If Anger Management can bring a slice of Two and a Half Men numbers to FX, the show would be a game changer. The ratings for those first 10 episodes need to be high. Will the warlock win, all depends on how good the writing is and the ratings. Time will tell.

If I were to put money on it, I'd say a win because Sheen has skillz, wins.

The Stargate movie wasn't that good either (in my opinion), and SG1 ended up having a 10 year run and 2 spin offs. Whether you personally liked the show or not, it was successful.

Also, I agree with the comments in the link that this is the perfect vehicle for him. Each week they present a new victim for him to abuse, dope him up and then let him go off on the poor sucker. Probably don't even need much of a script.

The the Drew Carey Show was funny. So I have hopes for this.
