I'm not the biggest Ashton Kutcher fan, but I think he is a great choice for the show. I might have to start watching more regularly to see how this goes.

I thought Ashton still made fairly popular films?

I think Hugh Grant would have been a better fit for the show but Ashton is OK. But I don't think they will be able to get away with the same crudeness they did with Sheen's character.

Kutcher brings a youthful fan base to the CBS show, as well as a big online profile with 6.7 Twitter followers, which could help CBS promote the show.

Wow...6.7 Twitter followers...that is very impressive.

I'm guessing they meant 6 million followers

I like Ashton but Hugh would've been better.

I agree. Why didnt things work out with Hugh?

"We hear Hugh flew in and had 2 creative meetings. Things were progressing and he had all but a completed deal when he backed out unexpectedly. 'It was not the money. He didn't want to do TV because those 24 episodes are a grind and a lot of work. At the end he couldn't get his head around doing a series."

Which seems like a lame excuse, cause sitcoms are among the LEAST labor intensive. The only long work day is day they tape in front of the studio audience. Other that, their work days aren't too long & tend to have more hiatuses than dramas do.

They should have just canceled the damn thing. Eight seasons is long enough.

Maybe Hugh didn't want to live in LA?

Deadline.com is now also saying that Kutcher to Two & Half Men is a done deal.

Ohh, GOOD choice!

Ashton Kutcher's tweet: what's the square root of 6.25?

Which for those bad at math, is 2.5

Charlie Sheen's reaction, if anyone cares...

Sorry, but Kutcher is desperate to stay relevant. He's popular but when has the last time the dude had a hit movie? The show will do well with him in the role since crass jokes is his element but in this instant he's no different that Forest Whittaker and Laurence Fishburne.
