Charlie YES, Ashton NO.
Lets be honest, after Charlie's removal - this show has died.
Since I didn't had the time and opportunity to watch the seasons 20 years ago, but only partially and stirred - I started watching them in a row from Season 1, when they started repeating them on local cable TV, at the beginning of this year.
There was a lot of humor, clean and dirty, all kinds of teasing between the three main characters, I laughed in tears at some of the jokes, it was fun. At times it may have been too extreme humor, but everything was under control and not annoying. There was quite a lot of self-irony on the part of Charlie, and that was really cool.
I have liked Charlie Sheen for many years, since I watched him on VHS in the movies "Fixing the Shadow" and "Cadence" - two of my all-time favorite movies. I have never cared about his personal life, and I don't care who he had slept with and what he sniffed - his life is his life. I like him as an actor, he's a charismatic bloke, and when I think about him - I haven't watched a bad performance in a role by him. Even if there's a bad movie - his part was always on high level.
So, after being removed from the series, the show totally died for me. When I reached the episode with "his death", I was surprised of how simple it was presented. Yes, I've heard about some fierce scandal with the producer of the show, but it was still quite stupid. Also the scene when Alan and the new guy spilled Uncle Charlie's ash on the floor.... was even disgusting.
The idea of continuing the with with another actor was the worst decision they could've make, and it shows. I've never liked Ashton anyway, but the few movies with him that I watched - he was disastrous. His only good stuff was that show with the "celebrity hidden cam", IMO.
He isn't any different in the new seasons of this show - he's presented as a weak guy, suicidal, cry baby billionaire, walking naked around the house macho. Who genius wrote all of that anyway?
Along other things, they also REMOVED JAKE, the "half-man"!!! The "sent him" not only to the Army, but far far away in Japan. How convenient, could've just "kill him" as they did to his uncle.... Jake was funny little dude and he was the soul of the show. Even the grown-up Jake was funny dude and had a lot to offer.
Stupid decision to remove the boy. The show should be renamed to "Two and a half Gay". Or simply "Two Gay Men"
From the very first episodes there was a strong forefront of gay behavior, seasoned with masturbations, transvestites, gender changes, lesbians, intimate hair-removals and all sort of other perversions. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gay people, it was simply not the show about that. It was a pure comedy show, and they turned it into gay parade.
I know, uncle Charlie was also a perverted sex-maniac, but with him on board we didn't see so much perversion. With Ashton the things are out of control and it's disgusting at some episodes.
Alan's masturbations surpasses all norms - I could understand if it happened once in a while, but to happens in almost every episode?!? It's just too much to me.
Their almost 80-years old mother turned into a more brutal pervert even - speaking openly about her sex life with older than her men without any hesitation, is also too much to me.
It even went than far, the "two men" fall in love and got gay-married...... I'm afraid to continue watching from here, because I'm afraid they will probably start showing them playing with each other's "joysticks".
Thank you, Charlie, for all you did for this show. You're the best! My 8/10 rating is only because of you.
