Over 28 million people tuned in for the season nine premiere of Two and a Half Men, but one viewer in particular has made headlines for his take on Ashton Kutcher’s debut.

What did Charlie Sheen think of his replacement?

After referring to Jon Cryer as a “freaking genius,” Sheen told Access Hollywood late last week: “I think everybody won. I thought the show was really good. I thought [Ashton] was terrific.”

Sheen is likely including himself in this list of winners, considering he’ll bank $ 100 million off the show over the next few years.

The Hollywood Gossip

Never before have so many people been so curious about the season premiere of an unoriginal, unfunny comedy.

But Two and a Half Men returns to CBS on September 19 and here is what we know about the first, Charlie Sheen-less episode it airs:

• Sheen’s Harper will be killed off.
• The cause of death? Viewers will learn he married, and then cheated on, Rose. At the character’s funeral, she’ll pretty much admit to pushing him off a train platform.
• Season premiere guest stars will include Jenny McCarthy and John Stamos.
• Ashton Kutcher will portray a billionaire named Walden Schmidt, one of several people who stop buy to consider purchasing Charlie’s house.

RIP, Charlie Harper?

Following reports that suggested Two and a Half Men would write out Charlie Sheen’s character by simply keeping him in Paris, where he jetted off to the last time we saw him on screen, sources now say Chuck Lorre wants to ensure Sheen can never return to the CBS sitcom…

… by killing Sheen’s Harper off.

Will Charlie Sheen be eternally LOSING on Two and a Half Men?

CBS insiders tell TMZ Alan and Jake will learn about Charlie’s fate early in the September premiere, and then Ashton Kutcher will arrive when his character buys Charlie’s house.

However, no scripts have actually been turned in yet, so any development is possible. What do you think about the sitcom murdering Charlie Harper? Too harsh? Or the proper outcome for a star who burned this bridge in such a flagrant manner?
