Charlie Sheen Forgets That ‘Two & A Half Men’ Was Just As Bad With Him As It Is Without Him

Remember Charlie Sheen? Oh, come on don't be that way. Of course you remember him. He was in a few brilliant Zucker, Zucker & Abrahams spoofs in the early 90s'. Really? He was the 'drug addicted bad boy' in Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Seriously? You don't remember?

What about the drug-addled crackhead with more delusions than Piers Morgan and the glittering PR department that now handle Liverpool Football Club? You might also remember him for playing short-wearing, ditty-writing Charlie on the incomprehensibly successful 'Two & A Half Men'.

See? Now you remember.

Charlie Sheen's career has been a rollercoaster of drugs, porn stars and diamond-encrusted pay-cheques from the worst sitcom to hit our screens since television was invented, but recently he has disappeared off the face of the earth in order to film his new TV show Anger Management.

How strange it seems that just as Sheen is looking to promote a new sitcom, he should decide to weigh in on a debate that has quite literally been setting American homes on fire right across the country.

Is 'Two & A Half Men' any good without him?

From an objective standpoint the answer is clearly no. The show was never any good with him in it and it was only his off-screen antics that kept the show in the public consciousness. Subjectively, he seems to think that his replacement Ashton Kutcher is a bit rubbish.

Sheen called in to internet news show TMZ Live this week to dig his alien talons into the carrion carcass of his former show, suggesting that he was tired of playing the nice guy. He told the beleaguered presenters:

"I'm tired of lying… I'm tired of pretending the show doesn't suck… I'm tired of pretending Ashton doesn't suck. It's nothing personal… I just feel bad for him… He's saddled with such bad writing."

Oh dear. Poor Ashton. Poor Ashton Kutcher, who is currently going through a separation from wife Demi Moore after he was caught inserting his penis into a younger woman. Perhaps 'Two & A Half Men' just desperately needs a star whose personal life is falling apart.

It might distract from how shudderingly bad it is (and always has been).
