This whole thing is a PR scheme.

They better give it to him, after all, he is in a union.

I don’t know, I’ve heard several people say he’s exhibiting all the symptoms of a bipolar manic phase. If so, he needs serious medical help.

Best thing they could do is fire his drunken ass and hire some out of work, drunken, drug addled, womanizer to take his place.

Maybe Ellen is available?

“I wish he would STFU and go away.”

I'll raise you.

I wish Carlos and Lindsay Lohan would get into a coke sniffing contest. First one dead wins, second one dead wins. And we all win because neither one of these amoebas can reproduce (anymore in Sheen's case) and further pollute the planet.

Put it on pay-per-view, I'll watch it for the sheer humor.

The show has been on longer than most and makes a fortune in syndication for all.

Just close it down. I’m sorry for the crew and others working on the show (instead of the writers - one line zinger sex jokes can be phoned in while sleeping) but they should have saved up knowing Sheen would go off the deep end.

yes. serious. as much as I am not a fan of his father politically, my heart goes out to him. they must be heart broken right now and trying to do all they can to get him some help I am sure. One great thing about money and power is have exceptional legal and medical council. So maybe they will find someway to get him committed if even for a couple of weeks. Britney’s family found a way. I know Martin Sheen is a active worshiping Catholic. I am sure there are many prayers being offered up. Sad. Wow. Just wow.

When Martin and Emilio went on tv, you could just see the look of weariness on the both of them. You could tell that they did as much as they can, outside of committing him, as any family can.

money can be a mixed blessing. You can afford top notch medical and legal help. It also insulates you from consequences, and can surround you with hangers-on more interested in keeping the gravy train running than in your wellbeing.

It may have the episodes and everything for syndication, but I don’t know if they will have any buyers, except in Brazil or something.

CBS is going to have to strong-arm their syndicates if they are going to air repeat episodes in the near future.

It is already in syndication. Most shows today go into it after 2-3 years.

Yes, but this is a unique situation. I don’t think anybody in Hollywood in recent memory has self-destructed to the degree that Charle Sheen has.

To me a character, like the one Sheen plays, is only funny if you know the guy is just acting a part. When it’s actually pretty real, it loses a lot of its charm.

I suspect that those stations that have contracts will honour their contract and then not renew and those that haven’t signed contracts to carry the show won’t pick it up.
