'Two and a Half Men' Still A Viewers Favorite Despite Falling Ratings

Cryer, Kutcher, Jones (CBS)

'Two and a Half Men' debuted this season with 28 millions viewers even without Charlie Sheen. Since then however, rating have been steadily falling with great competition among the slot, including the ABC hit, 'Dancing with the Stars'. A 28 million viewership isn't at all sustainable so it can only be expected that ratings would drop anyway. With Sheen in the starring role last season, the season averaged 15 million viewers while Kutcher's audience is averaging 14.2 million viewers. The extremely high premiere ratings can most like be attributed to curiosity about Kutcher's performance. The show is still continuing extremely well among the adults 18-49 demographic so it won't be leaving anytime soon due to ratings. Many shows continued to do well after a major change of character, such as 'Three's Company', 'Cheers' and 'Law and Order'. However, I don't think 'Men' will have the same fate. The show has already been on for 8 seasons so I'm not sure how much longer it can last. Kutcher's new role may offer newer stories and even though ratings are still high such a big drop from the premiere is never a good sign.

Is your favorite show on the verge of cancellation?

Pan Am (ABC)-Christina Ricci

Year after year, the major networks try to capture viewers attention by rolling out several new series, only a handful of which will make the cut. Sometimes, shows remain on longer than anyone thought (ER) and sometimes they are unjustly cancelled (ahem, Arrested Development). This season, several shows are on the cusp of cancellation. Some of which have been around for several seasons and others that are fresh to their network lineup. Are any of your favorites included? Check it out.

One and Two Half Men?

At this moment in time, "Two and a Half Men" is currently trending on Twitter in the United States. The season 9 opened to 27.7 million viewers (the show's highest ever) even without the presence of Charlie Sheen. Many wondered how the show would continue without the troubled star however, if the premier numbers are any indication then CBS executives shouldn't be too worried. Or should they? Yes, "Two and a Half Men" drew the biggest Monday night numbers, beating out ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" premier and it continues to have a strong following, but how sustainable is Ashton Kutcher and Sheen's replacement? Reviewing what viewers had to say, many agreed on their lack of interest on the show due to Kutcher's performance but I am sure many will continue to tune in throughout the season-they have been for the past 9 years. Many pointed out that Kutcher's Walden Schmidt may take away from Angus T. Jones' "half-men" part due to immature jokes and juvenile behavior. Granted, it was one of the most difficult jobs to take over in Hollywood, but CBS executives could very well have made the decision to put an end to the show when Charlie did. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out and if this is the final season. It is plausible that CBS executives wanted to give the story line some closure and prove the Mr. Sheen that the show will/can go on without him.

When he wasn't watching his own Roast on Comedy Central, Sheen got in on the action by tweeting "Surrounded by friends and watching the premier of Two and a Half Men. Odd... But cool..! So far a lot of laughs!! Nice..."
