Two and a Half Men - Ashton?

[nudemetalz]

What you peoples think from the start last night's new season with Ashton Kutcher?

Personally, I think the show without Charlie in there just wasn't the same.
Mr Kutcher's part looked like it could have been played by anyone.

Still, I'll give it time and see if it appeals to me.


Some of the reviews online tend to agree with me...

Will have to give it time i guesse,but if i had never seen 2 and a half men before and that was the first had watched i probly wouldn't watch it again The show was funny because of charlie sheen :)

[Scuba_Steve]

I don't know I think the scripting sorta suited Ashton, but I think the show could fall victim to the "it's not Charlie" i.e. if it had of been it's own show it could stand on it's own 2 feet but since it's a alteration of an existing show it'll forever be compared to Charlie "Charlie did it better" "Charlie would have done it different" "that's not something Charlie would have done" "Charlie would have done something just as funny" etc

[pzkpfw]

A lot of the humour was not so much Charlie, but Allans' reaction to Charlie.

Thus, with the new Billionaire house owner etc, it's business as usual.

I think it'll just be a mildy amusing sit-com now, as without Charlie I can't see it having that edge that he provided.

[Mental Trousers]

He should've stuck to banging Demi.

I though it was OK and will keep watching. Will miss the advanced banter between Charlie and his mother, however Allan Harper's still the star of the show :yes:

I watched the first 3 episodes and it (IMO) didn't get any better. AC's character is dull and not funny, can't see it lasting past this season.
Now if you want sommat new and funny try Impractical Jokers. Funniest new show in ages.

[TrentNz]

will never be the same without charlie, but i kutcher was better then i expected.

[oldrider]

The show had run it's course anyway, they should have canned it .... was very funny .... sometimes! :mellow:

[merv]

It was OK but certainly not as good without Charlie even though Berta's and Jake's wit remains. Alan was funny but pathetic funny of course - the other two are just priceless funny.

[Delerium]

I watched the first 3 episodes and it (IMO) didn't get any better. AC's character is always dull and not funny, can't see it lasting past this season.

fixed, the man cant act. Only able to play parts in movies like dude wheres my car. Did you ever watched punk, slurrs his words and rolls around like he is drunk. shit actor.

[Bikemad]

sorry but i think the show was mildly amusing at best and now the kids grown up i don't watch it at all as it is just full of obvious sexual innuendo crap and one liners that have been played out in other shitcoms for years...........charlie sheen isn't funny at all............his writers can be at times
as for ashton kutcher............Kelso in that 70s show he played well but hardly the acting worlds toughest role..........think hes a bit of a plonker really

[James Deuce]

think hes a bit of a plonker really

He was clever enough to escape Demi.

[tigertim20]

two and a half men translated means 'charlie sheen, and a couple of peripheral actors necessary for certain jokes to be made'.
ashton kutcher is a dickhead.

will never watch it again

[XxKiTtiExX]

Once Sheen went it was all over for Two and a Half Men.

[Mom]

No surprise the Kutcher/Moore marraige ended really.

Hard to hold down an ego that is fed the most purile/kindergarten lines regarding "implied penis size" who is replacing Charlie Sheen in a show based on his talent.

Was never a huge fan in the first place, last night episode left me in a not laughing state. Will attempt a couple more episodes just to see what happens, not holding my breath on becoming an ongoing watcher though.

[cs363]

"implied penis size"

Waddya mean, Kutcher is quite obviously an enormous cock....

[Mom]

:doh: Silly me :laugh:

[Oakie]

Charlie was an impossible act to follow but the program is still funny enough for me to continue watching.

[jasonu]

He was clever enough to escape Demi.

But not smart enough not to marry her in the first place.

[mossy1200]

Your forgetting that Americans have a odd sence of humor.They dont understand anything British etc comedy wise so you may find the Americans may like Ashton as much or more than Charlie and the American market will decide the future of the show.What we think means nothing.

[MIXONE]

His acting is about as real as Demi's tits.:no:

[oldrider]

Well, we watched last night to have a look at Charlie's replacement but all it was was an old re-run from wayyyyy back!

Fuckin cheapskates TVNZ make me sick! :sick:

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation, how do you explain the popularity of Monty Python in the US then? Surely if they were going to struggle with anything British it would be that!
In my experience (an I have a reasonable amount when it comes to the US) as a general rule most of the programs we think are shit are the same ones they think are shit.

American pre-teens & teenagers might fit with your statement, but let's face it they are an odd bunch at the best of times, mainly responsible for the blights to the world that are American Idol, X-factor, Big Brother and horror of horrors...Justin Beiber!

[oldrider]

Tonight again ..... pathetic crap! :sick:

[nudemetalz]

Didn't do it for me either....
