BREAKING
It's over for Charlie Sheen on CBS' hit comedy Two and a Half Men. The series producer Warner Bros. TV just released the following statement: "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately."
Just like the studio did with its previous statement announcing the cancellation of Men for the rest of this season, Warner Bros. TV stayed short of announcing the end of the series, meaning that continuing the sitcom with a new actor is a possibility. Men has one more season under a multi-year pickup at CBS.
The decision by Warner Bros. TV follows a relentless media blitz by the Two and a Half Men star who has been taking swipes at CBS, Warner Bros. and the show's co-creator executive producer Chuck Lorre. He also launched a Web-based series, Sheen's Korner, and is in talks with HDNet for unscripted/talk show projects.
It is a sad end to one of the most successful sitcom run for an actor. For the past (almost) eight seasons, Sheen reinvigorated his career amassing a fortune along the way, commanding about $1.5 million an episode under his most recent contract for the show.
