Two And A Half Men

Two And A Half MenTwo And A Half Men, The head of the FX network said Sunday he still hasn’t seen a script for Charlie Sheen’s new sitcom Anger Management, which is due to premiere in June.

That’s a little late, conceded John Landgraf, FX president and general manager. It illustrates the grand gamble made by the cable network, one with a potentially big payoff.

FX usually produces its own series, and Landgraf said he’s never ordered one without seeing a pilot episode, much less a script. Anger Management, loosely based on the 2003 movie about a troubled therapist who disrupts his patients’ lives, is produced by Debmar-Mercury, a subsidiary of the Lionsgate production company.

Landgraf said he has faith in Bruce Helford, former producer of The Drew Carey Show and the creative force behind the new series.

The executive said he’s met with Sheen, and is confident the actor is trying to pull his life together following the drug-fuelled meltdown that led to his firing from CBS’s Two and a Half Men.

“Charlie has 30 years of incredible professionalism under his belt,” Landgraf said. “He was respected by the crew of Two and a Half Men. Then he had probably the most epic meltdown in the history of television. But he really cares about the quality of his work.”

Successful television executives need to bet successfully on the right people to go into business with, and also the right time to go into business with them, he said.

Sheen wants to do a show where he is navigating a complicated relationship with his daughter, much like he is doing in real life, Landgraf said. He said he wouldn’t be interested in the show if Sheen did not exhibit some self-awareness of what he’s gone through in life.

“I believe in redemption,” he said.

FX has ordered 10 episodes of Anger Management, and will pair it on the schedule with reruns of Two and a Half Men. It expects a strong debut for curiosity reasons. If it does well after that, FX will consider ordering 90 more, which would put FX in the lucrative business of being able to sell repeats of the show in syndication to other networks.

Chaim Levine

Chaim Levine,

The Times on delusions of actor Charlie Sheen about Chuck Lorre, who created the show “Two and a Half Men” (which, incidentally I have never seen, to be an American Idol / Glee lot of guys myself):

Without apparent reason, in two interviews of Mr. Sheen said Lorre real name is Chaim Levine. He was born Charles Levine, a Hebrew version would Haim. The comment hit the frames at once Warner Brothers and CBS as anti-Semitic, according to an officer who had spoken with representatives of both companies.

In response to the decision, Mr. Sheen has sent a comment to TMZ. Again he attacked Mr. Lorre, saying: “What does that say about Levine Haim [Chuck Lorre] after trying to use his words to try and try to degrade me. I graciously ignored this madness for 177 performances. “He added:” I ask all my fans and loyal beautiful who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we March on the steps of justice to redress this injustice unacceptable. ”

This phrase, “without apparent reason” is very endearing and sweet. For no apparent reason? Semitism is not an apparent reason?

In any case, maybe Charlie Sheen is simply being misunderstood. Maybe he does, by deploying the word “Haim” here, trying to help Chuck Lorre returned to its roots. Maybe he said, “Chuck Lorre, embrace your identity, embrace who you are, be a proud Jew! And anyway, not much harm will come to you in this community especially if you do!” Maybe that’s what he said. I always try to look on the bright side of life in these matters.

Chuck Lorre, The reports regarding the stop came following remarks Sheen had earlier Thursday on the syndicated show Lorre Alex Jones. Saying that it was said that if he continued to “attack” execs would cancel the show, Sheen repeatedly referred to the showrunner for “Chaim Levine.” (Birth name is Charles Levine Lorre.) Sheen later went on to attack Lorre TMZ, saying he “hated violently” the showrunner, which he called “a stupid, stupid little man.” Lorre Sheen challenged to a fight, saying: “S ‘ he wins, he can then leave my show. “

After the closure announcement in series, alleging Sheen off an angry letter to TMZ as follows:

“What does that say about Chaim Levine, after trying to use his words to try and try to degrade me. I graciously ignored for 177 performances this madness … I pull back once the fly contaminated just can not handle my power and can not handle the truth, I wish him nothing but pain in his travels ridiculous especially if they occur in my octagon clear I have overcome the worm with my words -. . Imagine what I did with my fists, spitting fire, I ask all my fans and loyal beautiful who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we March on the steps of justice to redress this injustice unacceptable. Remember these are my people … not yours. . We will continue on the same Charlie Sheen … ”

(AP) – “Two and a half Men” star Charlie Sheen has avoided disaster as a rebellious party boy middle-aged regularly tested the patience of the television studio and trying to protect their property Precious sitcom.

It was rant radio tinged violence and anti-Semites who helped push it over the edge and finally forced CBS and Warner Bros. Television to take action.

In a statement of a common phrase on Thursday, the companies said they were stopping production on the No. 1 television sitcom for the season, a decision based on “all statements of Charlie Sheen, the conduct and state. ”

It went far enough to sink into the series and possibly his career, as one of the highest paid actors in television has remained uncertain. Hiking Sheen interview on Thursday with host Alex Jones was reminiscent of Mel Gibson’s tirade during a traffic stop in 2006 – but Sheen knew his comments were public.
