What an effing tool! Most actors would kill for the kind of deal he (inexplicably) got and yet look at what he's doing. Ugh. No surprise, though.

Why did anyone give this mess another show? Stuff like this is why I avoid FX.

I've always believed someone at Debmar-Mercury, which produces the show, has (or had) a relationship of sorts with Sheen and/or felt sorry for the guy after the "Two and a Half Man" debacle. (It's common knowledge -- at least in Hollywood -- that Chuck Lorre isn't a picnic to work with either.)

How is he even still insurable for ventures like this after the CBS debacle? The man is a walking corpse waiting to keel over.

I understood FX's instinct to churn out crud sitcoms like this one in order to finance their wonderful drama programming - I believe they've said as much more than once in the press, that they use deals like this one in order to keep The Americans, Justified, etc. in green - but Charlie Sheen is a bridge too far.

So tired of hearing about this guy who has been given chance after chance after chance and so has Robert Downey Jr, but Isaiah Washing returns to GA, and peeps want to have strokes? GMAFB!

To be fair, Robert Downey Jr. turned his [!@#$%^&*] around. I'll be honest, I never thought he would. I fully expected him to die young but he finally found a way to kick his demons and from what I've heard, he even tries to help other cast and crew members in recovery when he's filming. Charlie Sheen is still actively insane.

Oh, I totally get that, and I am super happy RD Jr has finally exercised his demons. I was just pointing out the numerous chances he was given.

True. I don't really like to give much thought to Sheen but I wonder what his problem is. RDJ is an addict. Everyone could see that. Once he got clean he got right. Is Sheen on drugs, is this some kind of mental illness or is he just a hot mess?

I expected RDJ to "flame out" and die young, too, which is why his journey back from the throes of addiction has been both a shock and a delight to me. I only pray he doesn't end up like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I STILL haven't gotten over that tragedy (and I wasn't even a fan of a lot of his movies, although I thought he was a brilliant actor).

Personally, I think it's a little (or a lot) of all three: he had a crazy upbringing, and the drug abuse (and other stuff) are a possible symptom or manifestation of some psychiatric disorder (possibly bipolar disorder).

Were people made when IW was in that indie movie that was highly favored last year? Or when the CW was using him to promote The 100 pilot? Or is their anger just solely about him returning to GA?
