Producers axe Charlie Sheen’s “Two and a Half Men”

CBS and Warner have jointly agreed to cease production of the four out of eight remaining episodes of Charlie Sheen’s comedy show, “Two and a Half Men”.

The decision to terminate any planned production beginning next week came hours after Sheen had unleashed tirades against his bosses at the CBS through a syndicated radio show.

Citing the joint statement issued by CBS and Warner, Lynn Elber of the Associated Press said that the pronouncement was built around the ‘totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct, and condition”.

The abrupt decision to pull the plug followed after Sheen called “The Alex Jones Show”, a syndicated radio show and made shocking rants against his CBS bosses.

The actor, said AP has repeatedly suggested ‘violent images and ideas’ during his interview with show’s host, Alex Jones.

"If you love with violence and you hate with violence, there's nothing that can be questioned," Sheen was quoted by AP as telling Jones.

The actor had also maligned the sitcom’s producer, Chuck Lorre during an interview, making puzzling analogies though clear who it was addressed to.

"There's something this side of deplorable that a certain Chaim Levine — yeah, that's Chuck's real name — mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro. Check it, Alex: I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his unevolved mind cannot process," Sheen said, according to AP.

The actor emphasized how he had changed lives of CBS honchos.

Sheen said, "Last I checked, Chaim, I spent close to the last decade effortlessly and magically converting your tin cans into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write."

Chuck Lorre’s given name is Charles Levine, said AP. As a veteran producer, the hit shows to Lorre’s credit include “The Big Bang Theory”, “Dharma & Greg” and “Cybill”.

The statement released Thursday did not provide details on any future plans for the comedy show but next week’s production is definitely put on hold and the crew and staff need not set up production on March 4 as earlier planned.
