I think you all watch far too much television. There are these things called "books" that many of you might want to investigate as an alternative pass time. :smile:

Hey, I've never seen the show! I freely admit to loving television, though. I love watching TV! I never miss How I Met Your Mother. TheBF says I'm Ted. :biggrin1:

just think, 6 months from now we will say "remember Charlie Sheen" and people will say "who??" I don't think he bit the hand that feeds him..he took the whole ARM.

I agree, recast/work the show....just to show him that the planet CAN live with out him, I do think he is clearly and addict totally in his disease and he does need help- since he makes SO much $$$ for CBS I think they just turned a blind eye (remember this line of questioning with Michael Jackson? 'if every one knew he was _____, why didn't someone help him? that said, I think his handlers should have been smart enough to keep him AWAY from the media (or talk radio)

next!

That twinge in your intestines
What is Charlie doing, honestly that others in his position haven't done, only he's not hiding it. Cmon you think other actors/elite aren't doin the same? Please.
What gives anybody the right to do it in the first place? Or does it just make something right because a lot of people are doing it?

Hubris is THE Original Sin, and is totally unacceptable from anybody.

I have never found this guy appealing. I have watched a few episodes of his show and just think he is overrated. I mean I hope he gets well and is happy but I find it a hard follow

My sentiments exactly.

I don't think there's anything even slightly attractive about him, so I don't understand the fascination with him (outside of his being a total trainwreck).

He's really annoying.

Is the usual Hollywood story at the intersection of Fame, Money and Addiction.

My most heartfelt sadness and sympathy goes to Martin and Emilio for the national embarrassment created by Charlie. Having worked in the Industry, I also offer my sympathy to the other cast members of the show. Good or bad, Charlie obviously has no regard for the fact that he not only places himself out of work, but, that he places a number of other actors and crew people in the unemployment line as well. The reason that the role works for Sheen is that in the show he portrays a self-centered egomaniac chasing skirts, caring about only himself, living a life of luxury while boozing it up and doing comparatively little to actually earn his living. In this case they did not hire an actor, they hired a man who in fact was the part he was playing by example of his personal life. Having worked in that industry, the one rule is you never bad mouth the hand that feeds you. Let's look at some famous mouths. Willie Aames got "religion" and subsequently badmouthed the hand that fed him. After that the only role he could get was "Bibleman" and he finally ended up being ruined and in bankruptcy. A similar fate was waiting for Kirk Cameron as he opened his mouth making remarks that were "unkind" and more after his "religious discovery". He was so vocal he not only destroyed his own career but that of his wife actress Chelsea Noble. Then there was Dustin Diamond, who excelled at playing a transvestite in one comedy movie with a mouth the size of the State of Texas. More Foreclosures and Bankruptcies based on "foot in mouth disease".

His best hope is to take up residence at Betty Ford for at least a year, keep his nose clean, shut his mouth, and then try to convince not only the studio brass but the public that he is worth watching.

With regards to other show offers, there are other problems there. You have production and concept people chasing Sheen while you have financial backers running the other way because they do not want to lose their investment if their "star" lays another egg. If the financial backers take a powder, he is still history.

In quotes of a famous television commercial: "Sorry Charlie, only the finest tuna get to be Starkist".

They say that the most dangerous thing that can happen to a celebrity is when they start to believe their own press, and I think this is certainly the case for him. I have no sympathy for Charlie Sheen and his eventual financial collapse, but I do feel for the rest of the cast and crew that have been thrown out of work because of his selfish actions. I can't see many other A listers, producers, directors etc wanting to work with him again after this. Every interview is crazier than the last with this guy.

When your publicist quits then you know it's an official Hollywood Trainwreck! It's nice to know that the crew is getting paid for the remaining four untaped episodes.
