They're only showing the first episode tonight as a teaser, the rest of the series continues in October.
Comedy Central tonight 9pm, with lots of repeats.
First episode only, rest due in October

This sums up my thoughts on Two and a half men.
27.8m (10.3 demo) Americans disagree..!
I haven't ever really got into the show but the odd episodes I have watched made me laugh.. Most of the laughs came from people other than Charlie though so I dont really mind him not being there..!
It was always going to get massive ratings for the premiere what with Charlie Sheen's offscreen antics being headline news. People wanted to see how the show fares without him in the lead role, and also to see how the hilariously bitter Chuck Lorre killed his character off. I'm expecting a massive drop off with next weeks ratings, given that the negative opinions of last nights episode appear to outweigh the positive reactions i wouldn't be surprised at all if it finds itself in the "Cancellation Danger Zone" by the end of the season.
It was rubbish and you cant take them viewers into account as it was always going to be a ratings hit as everybody wanted to see what happened to Charlie.
Next week will be the real judge and it has got very mixed reviews so far.
I doubt i will watch it as i did not find him funny.
This is Two and a Half Men's highest ever rating.
Completely agree, I thought at the funeral quite a lot of the girls might have said things like that but I don't think they portrayed Mia or Chealsea right, I think both of them would have been sad.
I agree too! They sacrificed a decent write out for Lorre's bitterness.
That said he's not the greatest writer, anyone who's seen Mike & Molly will feel me here
Rose murdered him. She pushed him into a train.
Did not see that one coming
The new character Walden (Aston's) is a clone of Jake: young and stupid. Why didn't the writers come up with a personality that would create more tension between Walden, Alan, Jake, and others in the cast? They could have made Walden discover recently that Charlie was his father to keep the family theme. They could have made Walden a green eco-warrior, a right wing religious yuppie, a "new man", or anything that would have led to more possibilities for jokes other than Alan getting pissed off because his housemate gets the girls and he doesn't. Yawn!
I don't think I'm going to watch the show again.:mad:
I approached the new episode with some trepidation, but thought they pulled it off quite well.
I have to say its impressive. The challenge is maintaining the impressive ratings. Season 8 average out at 15 million if it does average out like that then I can see having good future.
I will give the second episode one more chance to see if they can build the same kind of connection between the rest of the cast. I just can't see how they can build the same bond with Walden and Jake. This is why a family connection was needed. this bond made some very funny moments. But we will see. It does however feel more like spin off rather than two and half men and would made better show having Jake becoming the lead.
