Who's WINNING? Anyone over this mess. That's who.

Looks like he did have some sort of clause.

If I were Les Moonves, I'd just cancel the show altogether. As AMS said, eight seasons is a good, long run for any sitcom.

Yep they should cancel it, I don't want anyone who replaces him to be continually compared to him or his character

They only fired him after he dissed the producers and network/studio.

I would think any boss would have the right to fire someone, especially if they're slandering their bosses.

I think CBS should try one more season, as they probably don't have a lot else (most of their new sitcoms have been timeslot hits at best, and that timeslot will now be taking a big hit if the show goes anyway) and the actors deserve a chance to prove themselves without Sheen.

Now THIS is funny. I feel for the suit on the other side of this phone call. He sounds so painfully resigned to the crazy.

Somewhere in the world, John Stamos pooped his pants a little.

And replacing Charlie Sheen is Julie Chen. Watch it happen!

Response from Charlie's lawyer

My guess is, the's show's done & they won't continue with out Charlie. Chuck Lorre in the past said he didn't want to do the show without Charlie & even if all this never happened, it was an older show & next season was likely going to be it's last anyways, CBS isn't NBC (which really has no choice but to continue The Office post Steve Carell), CBS doesn't have to desperatly keep the show on, they have other hits that can move into that slot & probably has some good comedies in the pipeline. Lorre can always create another show for CBS (and I suspect he will).

You all think the show is going to end here?? I doubt it. Season 9 of Two and a half men will be patterned exactly after this:

^I have never seen those episodes. Anytime i have watched the show in reruns they never seem to show those episodes.

I'm not sure if CBS can be that choosy. They have few other big sitcom hits and struggle to create new sitcoms that find a major audience (by CBS standards). If they can find a way to keep most of the viewers then they might rework the show.

Penny Marshall's awkward and embarrassed prolonged facial expression in that credits sequence (when she's smelling the flower) says it all.

I agree, and I agree about good riddance, sick of a drug addict getting attention,while there's people in this world who deserve attention and are always overlooked

He won't get help, he'd rather expose his kids to hookers and drugs than get help

I agree, but there are people the will argue that his bad behavior has nothing to do with the TV show.

considering normal, every day people act like this and worse.... yeah, i dont think the tv show should get the blame.
