I don't really have a lot to add about Charlie Sheen that hasn't already been said. I'm not really an expert on the guy or anything. Haven't followed him all that closely. I did watch Two and a Half Men last night and thought they handled the transition episode pretty well. I also watched The Roast of Charlie Sheen last night, too. It seemed most of the roasters were busy picking on each other and then mostly saying nice things about Charlie. It was entertaining, but not exactly the direction I thought it was going to go. Anyway, what did I want to say here? Well, for starters, I do hope he gets his life together. I don't know why I have any faith in him being able to do that. He's 46 and lived about, I dunno, 46 years of it in full-on debauchery mode. But, he is getting a little older, maybe it's time for him to settle down. It wouldn't be the first time age has won out over being a hellion. As they say, Father Time is the only undefeated. Secondly, I honestly don't think Two and Half Men will be as good with Ashton Kutcher. I don't mind Mr. Demi Moore. I loved in him That 70's Show and I usually think he's pretty funny. But a huge part of the humor for Men was that Charlie Sheen didn't seem to be acting. Charlie Sheen seemed to be playing the pop-culture version of Charlie Sheen. That was what made that show work so well. I might be a little bit pessimistic about how this is going to go, but I will give the show a shot. It has been very funny up to this point, and the transition episode, like I said, was done well. Better than I was expecting. A couple parting shots. First off, I hope Charlie is serious when he says he's done with "Winning," because he's already won. Second, the (fictional) closer (even though he was actually a starter in the movie) that made the modern closer the rock stars they are: Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn. Comments are closed.
