I am embarrassed to admit it, but I watch the show. It is one of those secret vices. From the articles I’ve seen, Sheen does best when he is working - i.e. adhering to a schedule. So, why didn’t they just let him work? An awful lot of people are unemployed now because of management’s decision. It’s not as though his private behavior would taint the character he plays on “Two and Half Men.”
In fact the publicity will help the ratings. But there is a rule in Hollywood that unless one is a Muslim or other member of what left leaning (aka "Godless") Jews classify as an oppressed "minority" making antisemitic remarks is completely verboten. Charlie jumped the shark by the simple act of publicly attacking the person at CBS he hates most using the fellow's unadulterated birth name of "Hymie Levine" instead of whatever pastel Anglo Saxon sounding mayonnaise moniker the guy does business under.
