The new Charlie Sheen-less Two and a Half Men is off to a rousing start.
The taping of the first new season episode ended Friday night with a standing ovation for Ashton Kutcher and all the returning cast members.

Kutcher, Jon Cyrer, Angus T. Jones, Holland Taylor, Conchata Ferrell and Marin Hinkle all took their individual bows -- with the audience going wild for Ashton -- before lining the stage for the traditional group moment.
The first episode features Charlie Harper's funeral -- there's no coming back for Sheen -- and the introduction of Kutcher as internet billionaire Walter Schmidt, who buys Harper's Malibu house.

All of the costars, who had their weeks of fearing unemployment if their series had been canceled because of Sheen's meltdown, seemed thrilled to be back at work and energized by Kutcher.
He is someone who "is committed to doing their job and is incredibly professional," said CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler.

I hope this works out because I ADORE Jon Cryer and Angus T. The whole cast is awesome. I admit I'm going to miss Charlie (even though he acted wack) but sometimes change is good. I'm curious to see how this is going to play out....

Lorre's tantrums have cost the end of several shows and actors' jobs-Roseanne, Grace, etc... This show won't go past a year. Lorre is a "burger flipper" who should have stayed in the family diner.

Good luck to Ashton and the show. All who wonder about Demi Moore and their marriage- STFU none of your damn business. All who say the show is crap - well great DON"T look at it! Free effin country.

If people just remember Ashton is NOT TRYING TO BE LIKE CHARLIE he's is a NEW CHARACTER altogether then this show will be fine. Charlie was not the entire show anyway it was him + the rest of the cast which made it funny.

Cool, I'm glad Sheen is gone. Cheers came back stronger with the addition of Kirsti Alley. Spin City did great with (of all people) Charlie Sheen replacing Michael J Fox. Good writing trumps an actors ego every time.

I've always loved 2 1/2 Men - the writing is fantastic and the cast of characters is tops!! With or without Charlie (and that was his own un-doing) I'm looking forward to the new season. Best of luck to Charlie is his new series too ...

Awesome, an awful show starring Charley Sheen is now and awful show starring Ashton Kutcher. You must be a member of generation douchebag to watch this show.
